Share the endless fun of anime, analyze the deepest essence of anime, and unite the power of all anime. Hello everyone! I am Maple Jun.
After the live-action version of big IP such as One Piece, JOJO, and Langke Sword Heart in the Japanese comic industry, the anime "Saint Seiya" that has not been live-action for so many years has not been live-action, and after all, it is still impossible to escape the fate of starting a live-action version.
Recently, according to the Us "Hollywood Reporter" reported that the Japanese "post-95" actor Makoto Nitta will play Hoshiya in the live-action version of "Saint Seiya", and there is news that in fact, the saint seiya live-action version of the movie has begun this summer, and it is about to be completed, and it is expected to be released in the spring of 2023.
Although it has been revealed earlier on the Internet that "Saint Seiya" will start shooting a live-action version, this time the Hollywood Reporter's re-reporting of the live-action version of Saint Seiya and the announcement of the characters played have made the incident famous on the Internet.
In fact, netizens and fans of "Saint Seiya" pay attention to the live-action version of Saint Seiya, focusing on the casting of characters, but it is the character casting of comic films that is often the "hard wound" of the work. However, the live-action version of the film is jointly created by Toei Pictures and Sony Pictures, and the director of the "Saint Seiya" anime series Kozo Morishita will co-produce with the original manga author Masami Tsuda, hoping that it will no longer be a childhood-ruining manga adaptation.

For the Japanese film and television industry rookie Shinda Makoto believe that everyone is no stranger, this handsome guy has appeared in many well-known movies, such as "Pacific Rim 2", "OVER DRIVE", and in many comic films such as "The Strange Adventure of JOJO", "Flower Card Love" and so on.
However, this time, Makoto Nitta starred in the Saint Seiya live-action movie and became one of the protagonists, I believe that his acting skills must be recognized by the majority of audiences, so this has also become a bridge for Makoto to step into hollywood in the film and television industry. Of course, as a well-known Japanese actor born in Los Angeles, USA, Makoto's image may have a bonus in casting.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="10" > goddess Athena, who competes with anime characters, Madison Easterman</h1>
In addition to the release of the protagonist of the work, Pegasus Hoshiya, another important role playing the goddess Athena in the live-action version of the Saint Seiya movie was also revealed, and she was Madison Isserman.
For the character of Madison Easterman, the introduction of her on the Internet is still relatively limited, but it is known that she has also participated in many film and television works such as "Love Song on the Clouds" and "Annabelle 3: Ghost Baby Comes Home".
However, for the casting of the goddess Athena in the work, the producers did not screen Asian female faces based on anime characters, but relatively traditional Western faces. However, based on anime works, I believe that the audience is more concerned about the figure and face of the character chosen by Athena.
Therefore, Maple Wood Jun looked up the character of Madison Isherman through online information, believing that the appearance of the real person should be comparable to Athena in the anime, but in terms of stature, let the general audience judge it after the work is broadcast.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="16" > the "strong backing" of the live-action version of Saint Seiya</h1>
The live-action version of Saint Seiya is directed by Thomas Barzynski, a Polish special effects artist who participated in the animation of the Game The Witcher and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Short Film in 2002 for Cathedral.
Not only that, but in addition to the fact that Kozo Morishita, chairman of Toei Animation and director of the "Saint Seiya" anime series, will co-serve as executive producer with the original manga author Masami Tsuda, this time the Saint Seiya manga adaptation of live-action movies is one of the reasons why the audience is optimistic.
In fact, it is not difficult to find that many of the classic Japanese manga IPs in the past have been locked by the streaming media predator Netflix (Netflix) and remade into live-action movies, such as "Star Cowboy", "One Piece", etc.; but as a classic anime works in Japan, all of them have flowed into the hands of outsiders, so this time the Japanese company Sony Pictures locked the "fat meat" of "Saint Seiya" in advance. However, in the end, I still hope that Sony can carefully create the IP of "Saint Seiya", rather than just blindly competing for the first person to eat crabs.
