How come I never heard about this live action adaptation of Blood

First: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood:_The_Last_Vampire

Second: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood%2B

Third: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood:_...re_(2009_film)

Saw an ad for this during the Adult Swim yesterday and had not heard of this film prior. I think this is a good thing. I'm optimistic here. I'm just a little confused why Saya doesn't have a Japanese accent. I don't mind much if she's not played by a Japanese actress, but the character should still either have a neutral accent or a Japanese accent.

Maybe.... they made it in secrecy?
And maybe the actress wasn't fully Japanese?

I dunno, I'm just making smart guesses. Remember Star Trek? Yeah, no one knew much of the movie's production until close to it's release.

Maybe the actress is like Lucy Lu. Born Chinese, but raised American.

Absolutely not. The Wikipedia article says explicitly that it was announced back in 2006.

She's not Japanese at all. She's Korean.

No.

Not true at all. I knew a lot of about Star Trek long before its release.

I just made this thread to express the fact that despite the fact that I try to keep on top of these sorts of things, somehow this movie was made without me noticing and the way I learned about it was by seeing a commercial on TV.

Not only is what you said miraculously both technically correct and profoundly stupid, but like I said above, she is Korean. Not an American of Asian descent. She is a Korean person from South Korea.

Looks interesting.

**coraleaterlinda** · 06-28-2009, 02:24 PM

awesome. i will definitely be seeing this.

You must live under a rock.

Anime should remain as such.
This looks really horrible and I don't plan on seeing it.

Yeah, one piece of art should never be adapted into another medium. Darn these animated shows based on comics, these anime based on manga, these movies based on novels, these movies based on comics, these movies based on TV shows, these TV shows based on movies. All truly terrible. A film based on a comic or cartoon or anime or novel could never be entertaining.

butt slammed.

**Ghakimx** · 06-29-2009, 03:48 AM

I didn't mean the actress IS Chinese, I'm using Lucy Lu as an example for her. Gah.
Oh yeah, I believe you have answered your own question regarding her accent.

Izzy · 06-30-2009, 02:40 PM

Saw a commercial for this today. I hope it turns out well.

I saw a preview for this a couple months ago on this site.

I saw a preview a month ago on a movie... I believe it was Transporter 3. Totally couldn't tell what it was until the title showed up, until then I was saying it was 'blade with a Japanese schoolgirl', which isn't really far off...
