Tales Of The Otori
Ruby Chan:
Yup. The movie would have more impact if the lead roles were older, and more icon-y....instead of young teens that would make the movie more like a kid's turn ninja remake.
(Why did I just say that last comment? *_*)
satsuki-chan:
I READ THEM!!! im so proud of myself ^^ for finding this thread XDDD your nominees are pretty weird. and i really think the actors should be like REAL young looking... so i dont really agree with that takeo...
Cardwitch:
Ooooooo no! Don't make them young...
I think that the major players have to be older. Having a bunch of kids play to part just wouldn't work. You need to hirer good actors to play the part. You wouldn't power up the age of Takeo and Kaede too much, just enough for us to not be offended by the fact she has a baby... See what I mean.
Maybe she could be eighteen in a adaption, Takeo should be ninetween. As for Lady Maruyama and Lord Otori... I think they should be older then just thirty. I always imagined them to have a fatherly/motherly look to them, but also one that can look serious when they need to me.
Ruby Chan:
Yup! That's what I mean! Not young teens, as I don't think that would make a good movie with this plot....but eighteen/nineteen sounds perfect!
But the actors don't have to be those ages....afterall, most people are older than the part they play...(Olivia Newton John was way older than her role when she played Sandy in Grease)
Cardwitch:
That's true... I like the names that we came up with togteher (Especially Kaede and Naomi, they seem too good to be true ^_^), cause they're actors who can pass for various ages. I also imagined Lord Otori to have a good-looking, yet tough and fatherly look, one that would make you think 'Ooooooooooooooo, he's friendly, isn't he?' So I feel he'd have to look mature and like he knows how to fight. Lady Naomi Maruyama, I've always imagined to look like she's in her thirties, but still be faily beautiful and young looking. I also imagined her to be tall and graceful. Like I said before, I like to think of her as a motherly looking woman.
As for Takeo, I think he should be a rather 'pretty' looking guy... Just like the way Kaede sees him when they first meet. Faily handsome and attarctive. I got goosebumps when reading Kaede's account of Takeo. He sounded lovely. And Kaede should be a very beautiful looking person, who is rather delicate (cause that's sort of how I pictured her in the book).
