The Herald wrote:When I meant important scenes, I meant that these were ones that should be in the film. The Eclipse and anything having to do with Guts revealing his emotions would be pinnacle. Though, I'm afraid that Judeau would take a very minor role and the Skull Knight would be much more important. I can even see the SK having more lines than Judeau. What does anyone think of a heavy metal montage for the years in between when Guts is 15 to 18 for the fights and all that? Nah, the metal montage would be for the in between battles for the Hawks battle prowess. I would make sure to keep the emotional scenes at a good slow pace. I myself get very very annoyed when they rush scenes like that in films because there are other parts they want. I don't think that my screenplay would ever be turned into a film, but if I put a serious effort into it and a hollywood north producer up here in Vancouver sees it, well, who knows maybe Berserk would be seen as being a viable North American movie. I never really thought that it would be appropriate in Japanese because it's more a fantasy version of French history and fairy tales.
Another point, if this were a holly wood production, who would you like to see in the cast? I'd like to see Christian Bale as the Skull Knight.[spoiler]And Zac Effron as Grffith, no joke.[/spoiler]
P.S. If they did Berserk in that same lame ass motion suit animation as Beowulf and Polar Express I'd go and shoot the director myself. That shit is a blight on hollywood and all people who envision themselves as animators. It's even worse than the over editing and computer motification in films like 300 and Sky Captain. Berserk is hailed for its realism, and if that animation shit would never do it any justice.
I'd say Berserk is known for its realism more d/t its strength of characters and raw emotion. But the action sequences (see any scene with the Berserk Armor), and the titanic strength necessary to wield the DS, isn't exactly true to life. Although before shit hit the fan with the eclipse, I guess the story would be no less realistic than what we got in 300.
BTW....I take it you didn't enjoy Beowulf.
After killing Grendel, though the movie may have strayed from the Old English...ergh....poem a little (a lot). I still found it quite a good show.
[spoiler]Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddy Price Jr......would make a good Griffith/Guts one-two punch![/spoiler]
I'm shocked that I even though of that...)
And for Casca, the girl who played Mary in the Nativity Story may be good. Guts is looking to be really hard to cast
