The trailer for the Rurouni Kenshin Live Action Movie is finally out! Takeru Satoh stars as the legendary Hitokiri Battousai, handpicked by the manga creator of Rurouni Kenshin, Nobuhiro Watsuki himself.Β The film is directed by Keishi Otomo under Warner Brothers.

Weβve first seen Satoh asΒ Kamen Rider Den-O. Of course he has fighting scenes there but much different than Samurai-style so he had to train for the sword fights before filming. Iβm sure heβll deliver well. The trailer has so little to tell so I canβt say much for now. ^_^
Other casts include YΓ» Aoi (Megumi), YΓ΄suke Eguchi (Saito), Emi Takei (Kaoru), Munetaka Aoki (Sanosuke) and Taketo Tanaka (Yahiko). Β Iβm looking forward to seeing who will play Hiko Seijuro andΒ Aoishi Shinomoriβ¦especially Aoshi β he better be as good looking as the anime character lol! I doubt if Yukishiro Tomoe will appear in the film since the story is set until the Megumi Arc.
I havenβt finished this write up yet when I learned that Aoshi will be played by Kenichi Matsuyama, the same actor who played Toru Watanabe in Norwegian Wood (few posts below) and L in L Change the World. It cannot be discounted that Rurouni Kenshin or Samurai X is one of our favorite animes so it is sure we will be watching this. Hereβs part of the first episode of the anime (in English). We still have until August to refresh ourselves of the story. π
Special thanks to fellow Otaku, Jannie. ;D
