How long do we have to wait, lads?

Maybe they just shouldn't try. Plus, Black Lagoon isn't culturally influential enough to use as a cash cow. GitS, Dragon Ball, and Death Note are all enormously popular, even outside anime circles. Black Lagoon is a little more exclusive.

>michael cera as rock

I don't know why but this made me laugh so fucking hard

>>155425254
Samuel Jackson as dutch while also being directed by Tarantino would be better

>>155426140
So does All You Need Is Kill and they did it anyway.

A Hong Kong adaptation would work

Bobbi Star as Revy
Jay Baruchel as Rock
Mike Tyson as Dutch
Bradley Cooper as Benny
Maria Sharipova as Balalaika
Jackie Chan as Chang
Jennifer Lopez as Roberta

>>155426216
But Hong Kong cinema is kill

HahahaNo.

This man is the ideal choice for Dutch

>>155426586
Common is a bit too light for the role

>>155426586
Dutch needs to be someone like Ving Rhames.

>>155425254
That guy isn't even a meme director on /a/. You should have used Nolan, Tarantino or Del-Toro.

>>155426683
When has that ever stopped Hollywood?

>>155425485
You could see it working, but would you want to?

>>155426837
I dont trust Hollywood to not fuck it up somehow.

BUT WHO IS REVY
also Dutch

if del toro finally gets up off his ass and starts pitching it around again then it'll be a potential hit

>>155426871
Scarlett Johanson as Revy would be fucking GOD tier

I sure as fuck hope not. I don't even know if I'd want a new anime. The first is so good as is.

>>155427353
Scarlett Johanson should play everyone.

>>155425168

It could work, but hellsing would be a better choice I think. You're welcome for my input parasitic hollyjew.

I don't think I'd want it regardless. More people in anime would suck.

Who on earth would play johan, though?

>OP is a big fat fag
It's good to know that there are some things you can always count on in these trying times.

>Hollywood

I can just imagine the pathetically weak woman they'd cast as Revy and watch in disdain as they attempt to make me intimidated by her

>>155427676
All the tough women roles gets played by Michelle Rodriguez.

"This is way more entertaining than Hollywood is ever going to be." -Revy

>>155425254

End my life

>>155427353
Even though she actually would be a good choice, she's already everyone, so no.

I guess it *could* work, if they take some liberties, like
>Rock is murican banker working in Tokyo (nips have no good actors)
>Revy is mulatto or mixed (hispanic could work)
>Action is a tad more realistic, so no .50 for the killer trap
>Is set in post 9/11, so more terrorism and CIA-keikaku
>Not directed by the Cuckmaster Taranshitto

>>155425168
Only if Chow Yun Fat plays Chang.

>>155428545
Bobby Lee would be best to play Cheng desu

Even good anime are bombing, and BL has no real linear plot to speak of that could be condensed into a movie. Just a series of "badguys of the week," and character arcs that don't really go anywhere. (((Hollywood))) would do better just ripping off the concept and making their own version, which I'm sure as already essentially been done 1,000 times.

Even adaptations of good anime are bombing (thank god). There's no reason brown lagoon should do well.

You have no idea how badly i want you dead.

Brenda Song as Revy
John Cho as Rock
Bradley Cooper as Benny
Morris Chestnut as Dutch
Written by Quentin Tarantino
Directed by Mathew Vaughn

>>155426710
1990's Ving Rhames would have been too perfect for Dutch

>>155427520
Mads Mikkelsen, maybe?

>>155425254

>Knowing who half of these people are

This is why 3dpd hollywood shit should not be allowed on /a/. If it's not fucking Japanese-made, it's not fucking anime

>>155429854
Too old, too weathered and not beautiful.

He's handsome, but Johan could easily pass as a woman.

She's got the legs for it

>>155428952
That's probably the biggest problem. The earlier stories are too short to work as a movie, and the longer stories require previous development to work.

>>155429959
Eehh, too much bitchface. Revy is more, well, tougher in my mind.

>>155429999
Honestly something like BL makes the most sense to adapt more than GITS and Akira. The Very first story arc could easily be condensed in a 90 minute to two hour movie. It's basically an "origin story" showing how Rock got with Lagoon co

Tyrese Gibson as Dutch

>Rock is a souless corporate drone at a big japanese company
>His boss has shady conections with the illegal trade
>Boss tries to scam the insurance company/whatever illegal think so he can get money and live the rest of his life spending in shit in a luxurious house
>Rock gets involevd
>His asshole boss gets away
>Rock is found by the Black Lagoon crew
>Boss did some shit to the Black Lagoon and they want revenge
>They let Rock live so he can help them locate Asshole Boss
>Gunfights, explosions, death and things like that happen

>They reach Boss, incapaciating him
>Revy over a gun to Rock
>"Wellcome to the Black Lagoon, sailor"
>Rock smugly smiles
>Shoots Boss in the head
>Screen fades to black
>Roll credits

The main catch would be Rock descending from a spineless yesman to a cynical,merciless villain

>>155425168
>Starring The Rock as Rock

>>155430493
Too alpha

>>155425254
Jonah Hill as Benny.
You are a fucking pleb. shut your whore mouth and quit spreading your aids all over this board.

>>155430411
>Rock
>Shooting anybody

Rock's dangerous because he doesn't have to use a gun because he knows everyone who can do it for him

He'd just have Revy do it for him.

Only problem with Hollywood is that they would go to their whole "black and white" morality bullshit and make The Lagoon company into heroes. Especially Revy who would be portrayed as a generic Hollywood action girl when she is in fact a Psychotic murderer.

Only someone like Tarantino would portray these characters as they are meant to be, you know this to be true! Plus Revy would have at least one foot scene

>>155429899
He'd definitely own the part though, I feel. But you're right.

>>155430347

that flat bitch isn't gonna cut it

>>155425168
Lucy Liu in her 20s would've been perfect for Revy, but she's too old for the part now.

>>155425485
Is the live action series HBO series still happening or not?

Rock Shia Lebouf
Revy Chloe Moretz
Dutch Wesley Snipes
Benny Justin Long
Balalaika Kate Beckinsale
Chang Doinnie Yen

>>155425168
I don't need Hollywood turning Revy into a sassy black woman who don't need no man.

>>155425168

Let Quentin Tarantino direct it.

>>155437935
But it's literally a John Woo movie in manga form.

It would work as a Netflix or HBO tv series.

Hollywood? Fuck no Hollywood hasn't got anything right in about a decade.

>>155425168
Should I watch the anime or read the manga? Which one is better?

>>155438249
Not much difference. Though when it comes to Roberta's second arc that was animated as OVAs, the manga is much better.

>>155438249
The anime is a good adaptation but I like the manga more.

I don't think so.

>>155427353
She also should play holo in the spice and wolf adaptation. She should also play lain in the lain adaptation. She probably should also play lelouch in the code geass adaptation.
