KAIJI (Live Action)



The Watarase Film Commission posted a casting call on its bulletin board for a live-action adaptation of Nobuyuki Fukumoto's Kaiji gambling action manga.

Fujiwara Tatsuya who starred as Light Yagami in the Death Note movie will be playing the role of Kaiji (what!?).

The casting call had asked for 70 men between the ages of 20 and 40 to be extras. The extra will play contestants of the "restricted rock-paper-scissors" game which is being waged aboard the Espoir gambling ship (as seen in the beginning of the manga, pictured at right). According to the posting, shooting for the scenes will take place on six days between November 11 and December 9.

Is that the only actor these star starved nips have?, god!, how desperate can they get, I'm sick of looking at this useless excuse for an actor, he destroys the animes that he supposedly plays out, seriously! find someone better!!I will be deliberately avoiding this stupid low class adaptation , as it spoils the good feeling I had after watching the anime, to me this actor is wooden and is just not suited
