Imagine this if you will /a/:
Quentin Tarantino has just announced he will be doing a live action adaptation of the Japanese manga Black Lagoon. He does not say what exactly will be covered or what if any will be changed, but assures that it will be his best attempt into this sort of adaptation.
Aside from Sam Jackson obviously playing Dutch, what others actors would fill the character roles? How great/shitty is it going to be, what arcs/original plot would be covered, and last of all, will it flop?

obligatory ScarJo as Revy

But she's white and Revy is an Americanized chink. Wouldn't that make filling her role super easy since all they need is a 2nd generation Asian actress?

it's a joke about ghost in the shell newfag

Cary-Hiroyuki Tagava as the bartender

Lucy Liu?
>>159183566
Could they make her look young enough? 15 years ago I'd have said her without question. She's approaching 50 now so I'm not too sure that would work.
Will Gosling pass as Benny?

If you do that you might as well slap a black wig on Michael Cera and call him Rock.
>>159183387
Chow yun Fatt is not too old to play Mr. Chang
Black Lagoon live-action produced by Tarentino ? That sounds fucking fun.

The dialog is already Tarantino-esque. All he really has to do is sprinkle in a few N-bombs to make it truly his.

Uma Thurman would work for Eda.
Who plays Sawyer?
>>159183387
I wouldn't really care, because Quentin isn't all that great of a director.
also, everyone will say nigger all the time, because that's apparently funny and deep and insightful social commentary.
>>159183387
Honestly Terry Crews would be my choice for Dutch.
I guarantee you the movie would adapt the beginning and the neo nazi arc,
>>159183387
>Edward Norton as Rock
I'd watch it.
Lol
He'll do it after Avatar 2

Helena Bonham Carter? I don't even know how old she is. I hardly pay much attention to new movies.
>>159185238
I would actually like that, outside of him not being Japanese.
