Gunbuster Posted October 10, 2003 Posted October 10, 2003 According to Ain't It Cool News , director Ronny Yu (Freddy vs. Jason) is now writing a script for a big budget American live action adaptation of the anime movie Blood: The Last Vampire I can't wait for this!!! Quote
Agent ONE Posted October 10, 2003 Posted October 10, 2003 I don't know if that is such a hot idea. Quote
UN Spacy Posted October 10, 2003 Posted October 10, 2003 Every good middle needs a strong lead..........I'd like to cast (still waiting on A7's comments) Kirsten Kreuk as the female vampire hunter. I know there are some MW'ers that'll agree with me. B) Quote
EXO Posted October 10, 2003 Posted October 10, 2003 eh, didn't really give a crap about Blood as a movie. So I wouldn't care if they made a movie or not. But 2 hours of Krisin Kreuk in a little sailor uniform wouldn't be bad... how many more vampire slayer movies do we need... Quote
uminoken Posted October 10, 2003 Posted October 10, 2003 FOR THE LOVE OF GOD NO!!!!! I'm sorry but I can hardly stand to watch Blahna on Smallville (roomate's a fan) so no way do I want to watch her try to act moody as a vampire hunter for 2 hours..... I agree exo, we have WAY too many vampire movies in the pipeline (Blade III, Ultraviolet, possible Underworld sequel, not too mention all the other straight-to-video quality vamp flicks that are no doubt coming) Quote
Nightbat Posted October 10, 2003 Posted October 10, 2003 All these Vampire movies are beginning to suck! Quote
yellowlightman Posted October 10, 2003 Posted October 10, 2003 Oh god... Blood was horrible. Simply horrible. One of my friends bought it for me not reading any reviews, and I never let him hear the end of it. But it was bad enough I could see it working as an American movie. Vampires are kinda overdone though. Quote
Gunbuster Posted November 2, 2006 Author Posted November 2, 2006 Here's the link http://www.animaxis.com/en/zine/newsletter....asp?id=N001682 "Pathe has tapped a number of talented people to work on the "BLOOD" film, including Ronnie Yu ("Freddy vs. Jason") as director, with Bill Kong ("Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"; "House of Flying Daggers") producing. The role of heroine Saya will be played by Korean actress Ji-hyun Jun ("Windstruck"; "My Sassy Girl")." I am a fan of Ronnie Yu Quote
rikiryou Posted November 2, 2006 Posted November 2, 2006 Oooo, this could work actually, particularly when the original didn't do much to cover a larger plot anyway, hahah. Not too sure about Ji-hyun Jun playing the role of Saya though, hmm. Quote
JELEINEN Posted November 2, 2006 Posted November 2, 2006 Can't be any worse a follow up than Blood+ was. I'll probably see it. Quote
Raptor Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 I never saw the original Blood but I liked Blood+. I don't see what's wrong with it if you just assume it's a loosely-related plot divergence. Quote
wolfx Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 Blood+ was pretty good. Good story, nice characters. Too bad alot of them were prematurely killed off. I was only annoyed that the characters that annoyed me most was left alive by the end of the show. Quote
wolfx Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 I never saw the original Blood but I liked Blood+. I don't see what's wrong with it if you just assume it's a loosely-related plot divergence. There's not much "plot" to "diverge" from the original anyway. There was more plot from the games and novels after the 1s movie but Blood + is standalone and doesn't follow the canon storyline. Quote
Raptor Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 Yeah, they killed of a lot of characters who should have been Token Survivors (Wedge-like characters...lol). It's not like they didn't kill off enough "red-shirts" (guys in suits with guns). Quote
chrono Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 Props on a getting a Live Action outta this. It can't be any worse the the anime movie. Quote
JELEINEN Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 I never saw the original Blood but I liked Blood+. I don't see what's wrong with it if you just assume it's a loosely-related plot divergence. Other than the fact that it's an utterly unoriginal piece of drivel with a paint by number plot and bog standard characters, the fact they ret-conned much of the original film condemns it as a bad sequel. It's not quite Highlander 2 bad, but still bad enough. Really, the film is quite good, and you really should check it out. Quote
wolfx Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 1st preview shot of Saya. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2007-...on-still-posted Quote
Warmaker Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 (edited) Schoolgirl + Katana + Vampire Hunting Hmm. Nice combo! But I haven't see any of the Blood related stuff before either. Edited October 17, 2007 by Warmaker Quote
Jeremy007 Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 its hard to tell from the pic, but this could be promising. I have been looking forward to this movie for a long time. Quote
Warmaker Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 Came across this while searching around, figuring what the whole Blood thing was about. The girl doesn't have the Saya look, but she's cute Quote
wolfx Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 I'm so glad Milla Jovovich isn't Saya. Somehow her face keeps coming up whenever I think of ass-kicking femme fatale. Quote
rikiryou Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 Now that I think about it; they'll have to wipe out the fact that she's Japanese, huh? Unless she doesn't even speak it (or speaks it broken) in the movie, lol. Should be moderately enjoyable to watch. Quote
Golden Arms Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 I've been watching Blood + and enjoy it imensely. I'll have to go back and watch the film version. Wasn't it released by Mangle? The actress is cute, but she doesn't fit my impression of what Saya would look like. Quote
drifand Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 While I mostly enjoyed BLOOD+, I always felt the movie had a LOT more potential... the post war time period, the more-realistic character designs, the mood and music... Really looking forward to this! Quote
Warmaker Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 (edited) I've been watching Blood + and enjoy it imensely. I'll have to go back and watch the film version. Wasn't it released by Mangle? The actress is cute, but she doesn't fit my impression of what Saya would look like. Blood the Last Vampire was released years ago here in the USA by them. But nothing outside it ever since. But apparently Sony picked up the rights to release Blood+ internationally. Ask John Anime News Network The problem is that the news is from January 2006. From what I also gathered, it's also showing on Adult Swim recently... I'm deployed, so I can't check the tube Edit to add: Ask John - Oct 2007 - Regarding Blood+ and no DVD release here in the USA Edited October 17, 2007 by Warmaker Quote

TSP Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 I thought of updating this thread a bit since the other stills gallery has been removed. Movieposter Movie Gallery Release Info for France and the U.K. Quote
sharky Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 I never saw the original Blood but I liked Blood+. I don't see what's wrong with it if you just assume it's a loosely-related plot divergence. OMG, you really need to see the original. It is very short, but really cool. There's no time to waste! Go now! Seriously though, it is one of those things that every anime fan should watch. Quote
TSP Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 It's quite old news. But since no one posted this before... Here we go the first trailer and teaser of Blood: The Last Vampire. jp film homepage with teaser trailer engl. Trailer Quote

Trailer Are they doing two versions one in English and one in Japanese does not sound dubbed when she speaks English? Who do they have playing David? Edited March 18, 2009 by miles316 Quote
EXO Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 looks action packed, unlike the cartoon which was painfully slow and boring... I just dont see what this could bring since we've already seen, Blade, Buffy, Underworld... etc. Quote
miriya Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 I just watched the Swedish film, "Let the Right One In" and it was one of the best vampire films I have seen. It was right up there with "the Hunger". Quote
