Japanese actor Takeru Satoh, known best for a series of roles in drama, has been identified as the most likely actor to play the role of Himura Kenshin in a rumoured movie adaptation of hit Shonen Jump bakumatsu era samurai manga Rurouni Kenshin.

One unnamed source connected with the film reports that the Rurouni Kenshin film is going ahead, and that Satoh has the role.
Satoh has “just the right look, and there aren’t many actors with the right image for Kenshin†he says. Satoh himself has already trained in cinematic swordplay for an earlier samurai role.
Another source supposedly validates this:

“Back when it had just ended serialisation there was talk of a movie adaptation, but back then manga being adapted to film wasn’t something you really saw much, unlike now.
Add to this the fact that CG technology wasn’t very good… CG tech has come a long way since then. As a result, the movie was suddenly decided upon recently.â€

Rurouni Kenshin live action...
most likely the plot won't be able to hold up
can't do a movie on an entire series

Or, y'know. It could be the PERFECT chance to show the last story arc that the anime never got to.

This might turn out like the DN live series, I didn't hate it.

Not to mention the Higurashi live action was better than the anime, but worse than the sound novels.

There are some pretty decent Japanese Live Action movies based off animes. Although I hope they don't try to CG too much.... Haven't found much Japanese CG in movies too be exactly good.

Lies, there are many good ones. The live action version of Great Teacher Onizuka was absolutely amazing, so if you haven't seen it yet, go do so (if you haven't read the manga or watched the anime, do so now!). Sure, they changed somethings around, rewrote some characters, what with one of the important characters being a blonde half-American with one brown eye and one blue eye being a little hard to cast (even though cosmetics could work for the hair and eye colors), but it's still better than most things you'll see.

Only bad part of that is that they replaced the epic suplex with a kick :[.
