View Full Version : Claymore Live Action Speculation
http://www.bartcop.com/beck-01.jpg
If there is live action movie, I think she is perfect Teresa.
If u can't see the pic or pic is too big, I am sorry.
Also, have u realized that somehow girls in Claymore are based on European girls?
I mean blonde hair with blue eyes?
Seriously, sometimes I read manga or watch anime and realized that hot anime girls are not really impossible in the real world. That gets my hopes up!
i'm certain that her drinking diet coke had nothing to do with that sick figure and hot look!!! XD

Yup .. Teresa [Romi Paku] - clare [Kuwashima Houko]- raki [Motoki Takagi]
@tempo.
You don't see any similarity?
Well, I guess it is more like she gives "teresa" like vibe.
Besides, it is impossble to find anyone who is remotely familar to teresa in real world!!!

You mean a demon slaughtering chick with curly blonde hair and witty japanese? Meh, just got to look hard enough. Finding someone who matches the physical appearance is one thing. Finding someone with a simmilar personality is something else. Even for actresses it's hard to think who could carry out such a role seriously.

Did some quick crappy editing to see if I could picture it or not
http://img505.imageshack.us/img505/3964/12191414cf0.jpg Excuse the few minutes of photoshop work. I can picture it. She definitely has more of a presence then Jessica Alba.
Anyways imo Video game and Anime to live action sucks 90ish percent of the time. Only type that might work are the ones that are school type episode dramas. Action ones always seem to disappoint me.

Kate Beckinsale certainly has more of a faint smile than Jessica Alba who looks like she just realized she went into town without pants on. Throw some silver in their eyes sassarai! Then people will be like, "oh, that looks just like her."
90% is a pretty good estimate on bad live action adaptations from games and anime. Although Mortal Kombat rocked my world back in '95. My speculation for american culture is that within a few years we will see A LOT of anime -> live action, especially with the popularity of manga picking up like it is. I remember when book stores DIDN'T have manga and the anime section at my local hollywood video was like 2 shelfs. With how popular it is becoming (and how easy it is to get licensed) I see some definite trends changes coming. I asked my oracle.

Wow...sexy....especially since the girls in lingerie...although mind you that their skin wouldn't be that shade of gray. If anything, it would be more of an extremely pale skin tone, because from the looks of it in the manga arts and series, the skin pigments are just totally destroyed, leaving an albino kind of skin tone.
As for the eyes, they'd probably only glow in certain conditions, such as in the dark, like when Teresa stared down that one :frustrated:hole when he tried to harm Clare and such.
But still, cool picture XD

I think in this pic she resemble Teresa more than Miria, because, you all remember that Irene and Orsay once said that, "Teresa is able to keep her DOLL FACE while slaughtering Yoma thus entitled her with Teresa of the Faint Smile nickname". In This picture, Devon Aoki is quite similar with Bisho no Teresa in manga(not in anime though).

ktchris69 - that's the drawback of being half awakened haha! You will start aging! Notice Galatea is still young roffles. I can't explain why Deno and Helen turned black though.
CG movie would be ideal but that defeats the whole purpose of finding bad actors to play the role I.E Van damme in Street Fighter.
CG Is getting so good these days. Getting so real life looking.
Mind you, the only company that makes awesome quality CG movies is SquareEnix IMO. Just look at FF:AC! Unless you want a comic-like Claymore (Shrik style), then Disney is ok.
Sassarai
2008-01-14, 13:07
There's a lot of companies that make awesome CG movies. They are just short ones in video games though. Google Resident Evil Degeneration.
American CG movies are great, it's just that they don't do it in anime style and focus on animals instead. Beowulf was pretty awesome.
Wow.... I can Imagine quite well in my mind a claymore movie of same graphics as FF7:AC and I like what I'm seeing....
That would be awesome.. I can't help imagining miria slightly narrow eyed and having big cheek bones.. Helen should also have slightly narrow eyes, wide smile (especially when smirks) and a bit of freckles... Ya know, like cloud had in AC. :heh:
OMG... I can't believe it! A LEON AND CLAIRE movie! yay.... oops, sorry, out of topic :heh:

Romi Paku as Teresa was my favorite voice in the show. It would have been a very different experience if they had picked someone else. Teresa is what made me fall in love with the show and get into the manga.
As for Live action actors... hmmm. Here are some of my ideas.
Teresa- (...thinking Demi More if only for her voice)
Clare - Kate Beckinsale (she did well as a quiet action hero in underworld at least)
Galatea- (maybe Nicole Kidman?)
Irene- Jennifer Connelly (it'd work with elf ears)
Deneve - Janine Turner (from northern exposure looks just like her)
Helen - Elisha Cuthbert (... maybe... opened to better suggestions)
Riful - Natalie Portman
Duph - Vin Diesel
Ophelia - Cameron Diaz
Miria - Jessica Biel ? (not sure on that one,)
First Male AB - Matthew Macfadyen (deep voice)
Isley - Heath Ledger
Priscilla - Sienna Miller ? (Maybe...Scarlet Johansen?)
Rubel - Patrick Stewart
Rigald - Denzel Washington. (ok ok he's just awesome. Doesn't match character design, but I can take some artistic license because it's all hypothetical. And after seeing Man on Fire I think he'd be perfect)
Rigald 2 - Christian Bale (also could pull it off and matches character design.)
Raki - some nameless kid actor
That's at least what I think now. I think Natalie Portman and Vin Disel as Riful and Duff would be hilarious. Cameron Diaz giggling and saying lets play a game would be fun too.
Changed my mind about a few of them since but hey, doesn't hurt to post it.
Hmmm....
Dina Meyer as Miria

Haha, very nice Mikke. Some of the best matches I've seen yet. ^^
But Dina Meyer looks too old to be a Claymore. (Remember they are suppose to look about 19-22)
And Brook Shields as Teresa = Eww :(
I don't think there is a single famous actress out there that would do our Teresa justice.
Christina Ricci would be PERFECT for Priscilla though :cool:
Elijah Wood as Raki = lolroflmao

Are you suggesting that any of those old hags actually look in their 22? Ok they aren't old but they absolutely look older than 25 (except for Priscilla's) :p
Sorry but this is Raki, Frankie Muniz:

Well most of them aren't so old that it would be horribly unbelievable. ^^
Ahahahahahaha @ Frankie Muniz...he would fit the role perfectly, but I'm not sure it's logical to match a character with an actor of equal skill and finesse. For Raki you would want the best actor possible to soften the damage. :D

Nice Cast list mikke! Teresa really is the hardest one for me to think through for casting. I haven't seen many movies with Brook Shields so it's hard for me to judge. Someone suggested Uma Thurman but I am not sure. For the anime most of Teresa's character was with Romi Paku's voice acting so I was trying to think of actresses who had really great voices. I'll see what I come up with.
Christina Ricci is absolutely perfect for the role as Priscilla!

2008-01-17, 10:45
Hell no. Uma Thurman ain't no Teresa. F*$k that crap. Brook Shields ain't gonna work too.
Kate Bickensdale is fine as Teresa. Love Dina Meyer. However, many of these ladies are a bit too old to play their parts. We need actresses in the early to late 20's range.
chibamonster
2008-01-17, 14:02
I have no idea who Rachel Nichols is but she looks like she could be a claymore :D.
Ooh, with actresses in the 20's range we'd probably have to go with mostly no name actresses or whoever was hot at the time. There would have to be a lot of them so no names might be the only way to facilitate that. Someone mentioned doing the whole thing in CG might be another option. We just need to get hold of square Enix and see if they can make a movie approximately 30 hours long :D. Because they would have to do the series in its entirety which I figure would hang around 2 full seasons or more.
Can you imagine Riful in spectacular CG glory where all of her ribbons shimmer and shine and move slowly seemingly of their own volition? The AB's would have to be spectacular.

I see no harm in that. I am sure it would be even easier to find more actresses who resemble our Claymore more properly.

It would probably look something like this if it were CG...
You guys are forgetting one thing though, the animation itself. Some animation stunts such as playing with proportion and perspective, expressions and movements could only be done in anime. Notice at how FF7AC was split into both motion captured animation and hand made when the hand made animation made those glammering and realistic looking characters dance like cartoons in totally awkward looking, even ridiculous spectacles.
Remember the cloud/ kadaj battle? too damn fast and clumsy looking.. So many moves are ommitted. almost as if there's no life to it.... Sure the shining swords and the rest of the superb graphics made up for it, but still.... :upset:

While I didn't feel that way but indeed 3D animation still is developing in terms of artificial motion but they are now much better than before.
I didn't quite get what you mean by "moves are ommited". Technically it's not possible since you are moving the 3D objects around not drawing new frames of it.
I think a FF7:AC-like Claymore would be stunning.

I'd say that was a side-effect of their animation style more than just the fact that it is 3d CG. A large portion of battles and stuff you see in live-action movies is pure CG and often times you never even notice. CG can do anything and look as good as anything if enough time is put into it. There are no limitations on animation style, quality, or anything. If they can't use motion capture for something then they just switch to key-frame animation...no problem. Even the perspective and proportion effects you are talking about can be easily simulated.
Ok, I'm going off into a corner to dream about 3d Claymore now tyvm :love:

Only freaks have anime size eyes! Any bigger and Sarah would look like an alien. How often do you see people with mouths smaller then their nose in length? Anime features are exaggerated, it's hard to get an exact match but I think she has enough characteristics.

Flora is feminine cute looking. Sarah is feminine alright but not cute and while Heather Graham is also not cute but she seems perfectly fit as a Flora.

Yes, I edited after noticing that Sarah's eyes are actually pretty much large for a real human, but the shape of the face still isn't quite right. :D
FaceSmasher pretty much said it: Sarah isn't cute enough. Regardless of exact feature matches, the main thing to consider when converting from anime to Live Action is the over all facial impression. Flora's is one of cuteness.
And yeah, I've seen people with same-size noses but smaller mouth.
Eww heather graham is too old and her mouth is too big.
I surrender but who cares about Flora anyway? She hardly had enough screentime!

I dont think a CG Claymore would work anyways. It has to be a live action series. There's too much story to fit into a single movie. It will end up as bad as FF advent children in terms of story.
Besides, this is the Live Action thread! BOO CG! its cheatn'n!

Valduran
2008-01-17, 18:35
Video game, lolz...erm...that's fine too. (Ahahahahaha! Live action video game?! That'll be the day :twitch:)
But Sass, in that case, there is no way any of these actors would work. Let alone trying to get all of them together in a single movie. Budget would go through the roof. Not even massive box office hits get this many big names in one movie, TV mini-series usually don't get even a single one :D
Not to mention any american-made production of Claymore would suck so badly, and most or all of the actresses listed so far have been hollywood connected.
A CG Claymore not only has a far higher chance of getting made, it also would look far more accurate and appropriate...not to mention awesome. Personally I PREFER Animated or CG to live action hands down. It's easier for me to connect to characters that aren't portrayed by a real person for some reason.

Oceans 11! You don't have to cast all famous people and there's always shortcuts :D. How about cardboard box ABS? Besides characters like Sarah would just show up 1 ep and get killed. Goodbye!
Oh I agree a CG would definitely be better if it's for a movie but the story would suffer tremedously IE advent children.
Ive already said 90ish percent of the anime/video game movie is crap so I agree the chances of a live action claymore turning into crap is really high. This is mainly a fun thread and not a reality thread. Doing it in CG would be too easy and defeat the purpose of us trying to cast bad actors.
Chiba: Good luck convincing NSW for a video game claymore thread :D
Not to mention any american-made production of Claymore would suck so badly, and most or all of the actresses listed so far have been hollywood connected.
Amen to that! :heh:
A CG Claymore not only has a far higher chance of getting made, it also would look far more accurate and appropriate...not to mention awesome. Personally I PREFER Animated or CG to live action hands down. It's easier for me to connect to characters that aren't portrayed by a real person for some reason.
Agreed. Not only I would shiver and faint at the sight of an overacted scene with my favorite Claymore being put to the ground by a wanna-look-bad-ass-but-phail-at-it actress, I will probably die from diarrhea.
Look at Resident Evil or Silent Hill. Both were sabotaged in their movies by poor acting. Generally any adoption between Game/Anime<->Live Action Movie is bad so it has to be done with caution or else it's ruined.
There's too much story to fit into a single movie. It will end up as bad as FF advent children in terms of story.
It doesn't have to be from the original plot or it can take some of the extra scenes or whatever. Fitting the whole Claymore story in a movie is almost impossible no doubt. Oh and I wont be arguing about FFAC story being bad or not since it doesn't belong here but let me keep it at "I disagree" :p

Actually, a video game claymore was discussed in one of those scattered general claymore discussion.. I will look for it.

I guess you're thinking of a cg movie to satisfy Claymore fans only while I'm thinking of a story that would make sense to the masses.
None of the extra scenes are good nor long enough to be made into a movie.

Um, um...I get all your points, and I suppose we should move back towards original topic now, but... Why does CG Claymore have to be a single movie? I don't see any reason why it can't be a full length TV series. :eyebrow:
Probably would even be cheaper to produce than Live Action

I'm still googling over the idea of spectacular 3D awakened beings. I imagine their organic designs constantly moving in ways that are impossible to capture with anime. Like Isley's wings stretching and moving to balance him, Luciella's tails twisting around her, and so on... I think the transformations would be extremely interesting especially as their human form peels away. And in 3D some of the AB's could be so ... shiny. They could have reflections of their environment around them and everything. Especially Alicia's jet black form.
Not to mention Agatha's tendrils viciously attacking those around her while she yawns on the center of her platform, bored.

Why does CG Claymore have to be a single movie?
I figured to do a top quality CG movie would take a lot of effort and time so a series would take a lot more. How long did it take to make FF Advent Children?
Speaking of CG movies, remember Final Fantasy Spirits Within?
"Despite aggressive promotion by Sony, it became a huge box office bomb , with losses of over $124 million, effectively bankrupting Square Pictures."
chibamonster
2008-01-17, 20:06
Can't blame the graphics for that though. The imagery was phenomenal. That is actually the reason I went to go see it. Well, that and I love final fantasy. There was just that small problem of unrelatable characters, choppy story telling, lack of plot development and really just being a horrible movie.
If it is just the claymore manga told to heavy metal awesome CG (maybe even with the same voice actors) how could we go wrong?
That might be the only solution for the Teresa Galatea dilema.
Valduran
2008-01-17, 20:45
The CG doesn't have to be blockbuster quality. Doesn't need to be as good as FF: AC even. In fact, it's definately unrealistic to expect that an anime with a rather narrow audience range could ever recieve the kind of budget required to make that level of movie. Take a look at .hack//G.U. Movie Trilogy trailer. If it were even that quality(but obviously with the darker and more realistic Claymore style) it would be plenty good. And it is quite easy to produce that quality(I do a bit of 3d work myself, and I can say from experience that while it is insanely hard for one person, 3d is actually a very easy way to do things for a full team).
@Chiba: Yes, anything that doesn't look exactly like the characters really isn't gonna cut it. I could never accept a Teresa that didn't match her perfectly. And I don't think it's even possible for a real person to. Part of what we like about them is from the anime art style charm. ^^
Also, return of the original voice actors would be awesomeness. And that's not something that would be possible in live action.
I still think there's no way 3d animation can ever even reach the anckles of 2d in many terms....
Didn't say it wouldn't be awesome to see claymore in CG though. I'm just glad they didn't make it a 3D ANIME... those suck real bad (appleseed)..:heh:
Smasher, you got something against the quality of my photo clare? can you make a better one, I dare ya :p

I gotta a question for you all - one of my buddies is going to do a Miria cosplay of the current black uniform style but isn't sure what hair color shes got as both the anime and manga show it differently. The cosplay is insane - she designed it more lifelike rather then with plastics for cosplay O_O. I need to grab pics because she used leather for the shoulders/neck, belts/etc. She is only missing the wig. Although she really looks the part....as if it was live action O_o, she has blond hair already but not as light as required for the character. Which wig color?
http://www.playwithhair.com/ebay/products/RunwayFashion_613_2.jpg http://www.playwithhair.com/ebay/products/RunwayFashion_24b_613_2.jpg

True. Neither have I. Beast Wars was horrible by modern standards, but it WAS made like 8 years ago after all >.<
My point about .hack//GU was that that level of CG is quite easy to do. Significantly higher budget requirements than normal anime, but definately no where near the budget of live action. I'd rather see CG of that quality than a Live Action which would most likely be an abomination to the Claymore name.
But if we are just wildly speculating and dreaming, then sure, why not dream big. I guess I was just being realistic. Silly me :p
Realistically, neither a high-budget Live Action or Maximum quality CG Series is EVER going to happen. No chance :(

Well i wouldn't say "high-budget" because then you're just dreaming. All you need is a good director, camera, lighting/etc. The baiscs. If you go High Budget you are talking mostly CG effects. I would say shoot small for a production rather then super high budget - go for something like Buffy or Angel, film it differently and see how audiences like it.
Valduran
2008-01-18, 23:29
Well, the whole high-budget part comes from the idea of having big name actors in it ;)
However, I'd say Buffy and Angel were alot higher budget than anything Claymore could ever get. Claymore is aimed at a rather narrow audience, the profit expectations in the US(probably the only place a live action Claymore would be made) would be quite low. Any major network probably wouldn't even consider producing it.

Now that you mentioned Buffy & Angel, I don't see why Claymore would be considered to have any more gore or violence. Buffy execute vampires using medieval weapons. Angel does the same thing except I see Angel much more like Claymore given the fact the protagonist is a monster himself and all his friends aren't normal as well.
Both Angel & Buffy are popular I don't see how Claymore wouldn't work especially when the story revolves around pretty blonde young girls wearing skin-tight outfits (I know it's laughable but this is our world :\)

Welll. Buffy and Angel don't have human limbs and heads being sliced, guts being ripped out and eaten, blood splattering, etc...
Plus a few extra violent disturbing scenes including Riful's torture, the mangled Claymore who escaped from Riful, Flora + Veronica + Undine being ripped in half, and probably more.
Oh and um, Teresa... :(
The nature of Claymore is generally just too dark for TV. Not to mention all the nudity. American TV has a huge problem with nudity.
Sure most of those things could be watered down, but then it wouldn't be Claymore. One of the first things that appealed to me about Claymore was the level of violence inflicted on primary characters. It's not something you see in most stories.
I suppose you are probably right that it's not so far off from Buffy and Angel type TV shows that it wouldn't be well received in the US and Europe. Though I'm afraid it's inevitable that whatever american producer that handled it would probably utterly mangle it in an attempt to 'westernize' it. :(
However, that one thing you mentioned, the fact that it revolves around pretty young blond girls in skintight outfits...I think that alone would cause most producers to not even give it a second glance. They would consider it too rediculous and blatantly fan-servicey. Also I don't have any problem with it myself, but I hear alot of people didn't like it because there was an extreme lack of male leads?
P.S. Why don't you smash faces anymore? :(
Hmmm.. you've got a point there. It does have more violence but man, 300 the movie was full of gore and extreme violence yet it was very popular. People seem to be accepting more violence by the day :D
Oh, and I don't smash faces anymore because Teresa wont approve it! lol. Seriously tho, I thought the name was a bit stupid and I only chose it because Anima was taken (my favorite) but then I had the poor guy's account deleted and claimed the username for myself :p
Valduran
2008-01-19, 19:46
Yeye. 300 was nearly as violent as Claymore ^^
But it was a movie. There is a very strict limit on what kind of stuff can be shown in a TV show. Now if we are talking about a straight to dvd mini-series(which is probably the most likely option), then it's a whole different story and they can put whatever they want in it.
(Teresa wouldn't approve? She slashed poor Rosemary's face into tiny strips :()
Nearly as violent? I have never seen heads flying, bones breaking and blood splattering so energetically and more to that, in time bullet mode! in claymore.
But then again, it would take quite some time just to capture 2 seconds of the quicksword in slow mo.... lol, and even if you slow it down by 1000 frames you'll still have it moving faster than your eye. lol....
Ahem.... Well, if you remember the movie "Dark City" you'll recall this guy as Mr. Hand and is
the perfect nominee for rubel. need I say more? :)

However, I think Kate Olsen would make a good Ophelia :heh:

2. What is the length? 1h 30 mins? 2 hours?
3. Choice of director is more important, who can pull this off? Spielberg? Mann?
4. What story you going to focus on?
5. A self made story or based on manga?
6. More CG or less?
7. Music score? Howard? William?
8. Film location? Eastern European? England?

As for choice of director, I prefer Josh Whealdon the dude who did Serenity and Buffy.

You have to remember that claymore is dark fantasy genre, which is becoming quite popular in literature, graphic novels and animation. The ancient mythology boom in hollywood movies is at it's peak now and the gothic sub culture with it's artistic an cultural attributes is quite the thing in europe nowdays. Blond, north europian girls with swords in the medieval fantasy world.... every movie that tried to follow in the steps of the lord of the rings sorta failed my expectations but.... this one might actually sell well.
Dude, DOA sucked.... as a game as sure as hell as a movie too.... Resident evil worked didn't it? I think it sucked but it sold... :uhoh:

Really the most moving single story they could pick for one movie would be Teresa's arc. They would definitely have to do some chopping and editing to get all the information needed, maybe include her extra chapter or something. Setting up that a claymore has a limit, that they are monsters, that they can lose control was all done by the first bit of the story with Clare killing her friend and then the limit discussed in Rabona. Without knowing those two things then Teresa's arc would be very difficult to understand.
Now if they went the opposite direction and did an HBO series or something then it could be really fun. The cast of characters is fairly minimal until Pieta. Special effects for the awakened beings and youma might be tough for it but maybe some tricky cinematography could be used to get around it.
Probably the hardest thing that we have not yet addressed is How do we get the rights to Claymore? Evangelion has been talking about a live action movie for years and they have some of the top names in directing lined up who are interested in it along with the weta workshop (http://www.wetaworkshop.co.nz/projects/filmography/film/neon_genesis) for special effects, but things just keep falling through over and over.
Personally, I considered this topic to be nothing but fun and messing around. I've never taken it seriously and I really doubt a live action Claymore would ever come to being.
Now @chibamonster I also thought about Teresa's arc being the best story to tell but then I feared of how it might be ruined by some stupid script writer/director. And as you said, we need some background and knowing that Clare is fighting for revenge and now is a full fledged claymore is important as well.

Personally I think any LA Claymore movie to be made, it has to be from Theresa's point of view and she as the main character. It is gonna to have a bad ending of course just like the original material. In fact you can reduce Claire into weepy small girl in this conception. And I don't think film needs to show how Claymore was made, just enough to know they are hybrid to make it more mystical and interesting.
The problem of EVA is $$$$. You can have famous people lining up but without money, it is all talk.

I think that characters like Miria or Teresa being older is just fine. Claymores can probably lose their baby fat fine. They probably just don't degenerate, and I'd still consider people in their 30s to be in their prime. Fact is, the maturity and sense of self needed for characters like Teresa or Miria just isn't possible with 20 something actors.

2008-01-27, 14:02
The voice acting from the anime really made me think that Irene and Teresa were some of the oldest (or at least the most mature) Claymores. Miria was up there too. Even though Raphaela is far older, she didn't come across that way in the anime.

My semi-serious answers :joke: :
1) I'd simply tell the producers "it doesn't matter if the movie sucks or not, people will still crave to see it as long as there are famous actors and you know that, am I right Mr. Ocean's 5*10^125 producer ?"
2) Whatever it takes to tell the whole story from chapter 1 to 76, I don't care if it's a 6, 12 or 24 hours mastodon...
3) Anyone who can read the manga and operate a camera...
4)& 5) Everything! If it's in the manga, it's in the movie
6) Less to none. Actors get paid like what, 20 million bucks a movie? If I'm in charge, I'll make them earn every single penny of it...
7) Maybe anime soundtrack can be recycled
8) Probably Eastern europe would be good for forests and northern campaign too

Let's say if they approved the live action claymore movie, what do you think the movie budget going to be? It's probably going to be in the 20-30 mil dollar range.
It would have to be a trilogy i think. Maybe from the very beginning, and ending with the slashers. Ophelia---Joined by Souls as part two.

2008-02-18, 02:11
Yes. A trilogy would be nice, although it all depends on how good the movie 'claymore' does. If it manages to go over the 50 mil mark, then yeah, a sequel is a must. :cool:
I think that medieval fantasy/horror fans, aren't really all that many in number, and a watered down version of Claymore compessed into a movie.... .... .... .... might still work :)
Not only medieval fantasy/horror fans enjoy hot chicks and violence :joke:

Pretty nice indeed! but very spoilerish IMO.
I hope that a live action is never done on anything that was originally designer/graphical art. I have read books and such where I picture how each character looks, or if it is an anime, I prefer remembering the characters in their graphical origination. Last time I saw something live action, it completely ruined my perception of it, as I think real life human characters can never live up to animation qualities. I feel that it's better if we remember characters in their artistic form, as they are much more beautiful.
True.... But you seem to underestimate the miracles of good directing.... :) If it's done right, then it could be truly awesome.... But it's never done right!

The only way I would imagine they would put together a live action adaptation would be if they did it as a TV series or a made for TV movie. That or a few arcs in a long movie. I'd hope for the story up until right after Teresa's arc. They could fit that in 2 1/2 - 3 hours. The biggest problem would be if they didn't directly use the layout from the comic book. I am hoping for something like a Frank Miller adaptation where it is done with the pages as their story board (like 300).
A made for TV movie would probably be aweful but some of them are decent. The Children of Dune show done by the sci fi channel was decent. They had to change some things in the story to make it fit their budget though. Mostly things to minimize their need for special effects. The Awakened beings would require the most special effects. Besides that there really isn't much that would need a ton of work (except the awesome stunts they would need for some of the characters). Although for the first few arcs the only Awakened beings you see are Priscilla and the 6 armed guy which really could be done without much CG. Then there are all the hacked limbs and bodies...
So here is a question, how would you have the awakened beings done? Computer graphics, animatronics, claymation, elaborate costumes...
If it wasn't CG, it would suck, period. :D
Lol, why? The puppet of Goro from mortal kombat with his four arms was pretty impressive no? :D
No... if they had like jodie foster, or nicole kidman, or renee zellwegger, or any other blonde to play even one of these girls roles... that image would be burned in my head and I do not want to remember claymore girls anything other than their CG form. It's best to leave it with anime.
Yeah, but actresses as Kristanna Loken or Amy Smart are a different matter i'd say.
They could always use nameless models for some of the lesser characters...just stand there an look pretty :heh:
Kristanna Loken is a living godess :love: Just saw Ring Of The Nibelungs.... Awesome movie! The atmosphere reminds me of claymore, and especially this
hot german valkyrie ;) she fits to be either Clare or Teresa.... gives off both vibes....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJgI82k_-CQ
Oh.. very Claymorish indeed. I almost agreed about her doing Teresa but I dunno :x
Still.... the most claymorish atmosphere I ever found in a piece was in the 80s smash hit "Highlander".
I was looking for like, forever where exectly was it Yagi imbibed that medieval european vibe from. The general feeling definetly says, scotland. The music is often of gothic origin, with those drums and fluits and scottish bagpipes but I wasn't sure if the the atmosphere is of general medieval europe or a particular place.

I agree that highlander has a very simmilar feel to claymore. They even have the quickening and stuff. I love that movie. Great concept. And it had Sean Connery. The next closest thing for a claymore feel I could think of would be Willow, especially Madmartigan.
I was watching Lost and I thought, hey, Elizabeth Mitchell looks like Teresa. Although in Lost her voice is too soothing, calm and even weak for me to take her seriously as Teresa. I have not seen her in anything else so I am not sure how versatile she is.

I once suggested an similar thread like this one so I am glad that one finally was created :-)
In my opinion I don’t think a live action of Claymore would be feasible after all because I think there are some problems namely:
1. The cast. Where will they find a cast suitable enough to match the anime versions of our goddesses truth be told there are very few women (with actual acting skills) who can compare to most of the claymore cast. I mean Theresa, Galatea, Flora , Clare (and so on) are in a league of their own. Not many actresses would come close to their anime counterparts.
2. If there will be a live action of Claymore (and chances are very slim since the anime wasn’t a huge success in Japan). It would be a Japanese production . Chances would be high that Japanese actresses would form the cast. There is of course nothing wrong with good looking Japanese women. However they just wouldn’t fit the appearance of an Claymore which are more less Nordic European in appearance.
3. Although the manga is doing well. The anime scored just average viewing ratings in Japan. Possible being licensed in the USA will help in boosting its commercial success. However it will still not be the same kind of financial success as for example Naruto and Bleach. This decreases chances for an live action movie.
Also the suggestion to use CGI I am not sure if that would work. To make good CGI you will still need an awful large budget. If you have an average budget chances are high that most of the CGI would actually be worse then standard anime or at least look very unnatural.
My own humble opinion is that the best we can hope for is that they make a few high value OVA’s which pick-up the time line where the anime starts diverging from the manga and continue until the most recent manga episodes.
To be honest an series of well made OVA’s which make me forget the lack-lustre anime only ending. And would at least to me be more preferable then an cheap badly made live action flick directed by an ‘Uwe Boll’ wannabe.
I don’t think Theresa would rest in peace if such a abomination would occur.
If she was like 10 years younger, I'd say my final choice for Teresa would be Geri Halliwell. :D
Ran into this funny commercial; spice girls still looks good even though they're in their mid/late thirties. :p Check out Geri though.

Looks like he got all depressed and did the whole drug and alcohal abuse thing when he couldn't find Clare. Does anybody else think if Raki meets up with Clare that it might be like an opera at that point? Unless he's dead.
I think Milla Jovovich or Charlize Theron would make a great Deneve.
The manga claymores look a bit japanese to me actually. European/Japanese girls can be really hot. The perfect mix of elegance and kawaii :)
You mean blue eyed blonds with narrow eyes..? very, very rare.. something to see.. :D

Yeah, I mean look at the wonder's a wig did for Orlando Bloom in Lord of the Rings! I remember a few girls I knew were talking about how beautiful his flowing long blond hair was. When I told them that was not his real hair color they were mad at me and then when they saw pictures of his real darker hair they were even more mad. hehe, they had it coming :p Kate Beckinsale's neon blue eyes looked pretty good in Underworld as well so hey, anyone could be a claymore.
The real question is, how many butts did Bloom have to kiss to get the role.. why just not take a natural blond actor? there are plenty of talented ones.

2008-04-01, 12:07
Haha, they should have used Val Kilmer. Willow all over again. Madmartigan! Except for that role they had him with black hair... I guess it does not matter what color your actual hair is if you are being cast for a leading role as someone with long hair in a fantasy movie :D.

Rene Russo would make an excellent Teresa, had she been 10 years younger or so.

I was just watching some of FF7: Advent Children and I think I want square soft to do the movies of Claymore when the series is all done. Sure it does not make any sense that they would do it but I am just drooling over the mental image of them doing full CG Awakened Beings. I am imagining Riful's hundreds of shiny black ribbons moving on their own, Isley's armor articulating showing that it is part of his skin, Rigald's mane blowing in the wind... I love the AB's design. I would love to see their transformation process itself as well which would be greatly aided by CG. Maybe we can get George Lucas hooked on Claymore. Then he might stop ruining great series that he already made.

@Bishouno Teresa
Well how many super model/actress is out there? Or young enough?
If you ask me what matters most is not how old the actress playing a claymore, its how young can you make an actress playing a claymore. She can be 40 as long as she looks 20 it doesnt matter.
Nice choice... though the lowermost pic I don't like :twitch: Her mouth is twisted and she looks like a mokey..

Although it's a fan art but it's really nice to see how this model girl fit the role, the physical appearance at least. She is so Ophelia. You know, if someone could find the whole body picture of her, we can have some talented people dress her the claymore outfit. (Not talking about you Mikke :p j/k)

Couldnt agree more!! Now if only she can wait a year or 2 for the manga to be finish then wait another year for hollywood to take notice then yeah she might be a keeper. :D
Christina Ricci for Priscilla?? Hmm i dont think she radiates the character, well atleast because of her mature characters in her earlier films that im basing my analysid, she might pull it off. Im convince though. :rolleyes:

Her name is Vlada Roslyakova. She's a top model and known in the fashion industry for her very pale eyes and doll-like visage. She's walking for the top runways. Despite having a very little number of cover/ads/prints, she frequently appears in magazine editorials and is in many japanese fashion magazine.:mad:
She has also caused controversy concerning her thiness which is beyond extreme for the commonners. Her body became the inspiration for many anorexic girls around the world. But apparently, according to that other forums, she has an anomaly that gives her the body of a teenage girl despite being in her 20's.

Actually, it's not fan art - it's the inside cover art of Volume 8 of the japanese version, back cover of volume 8 US version.
She's as Ophelia as it gets.

Well this model needs to gain some weight and bulk up a little bit. She wouldnt even last thru out the production if she aint tough enough to even hold a broadsword.

Yes, the face, somethings not right about the face.

It is probably because she is like 12. That is what I think at least. Though the hair does look strangely Teresa-esque.

The hair is the easyest thing to change and make it look like that, or even wear a wig if necessary. You can always make some actres's hair look like Teresa's. What's more important is the face and the precence that she gives off and that she can act, half of this thread is filled with anorexic 12-13-14 old models which hair reminded some fanboy of Teresa and they go "yay",but other than the hair (and some blue eyes that might actualy be contacts) there is nothing there to even resemble Teresa. Of all the posts of models there was only one that catched my eye - she really looked like Ophilia, and not just because of her hair...

Since we seem to be looking for appropriate hair styles to match Claymores this might be what Miria's hair looks like... though it is just a guess. I thought of looking for a spikey haired punk, but those searches were rather fruitless. I figured this hair is spikey and while it does not look exactly like her style could work in a live action. Miria's hair is hard for me to imagine looking the way it does unless it is just a very poorly done layering job.
http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb81/chibamonster/gallery-g8.jpghttp://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb81/chibamonster/gallery-g1.jpg
Clare's is much easier to find as I believe her hairstyle is called a chopped bob.

Edit: Hey! I may have found a style that matches Miria more. It is called a Razor Hair cut and it does involve lots of layering. These pics are of the cut, not so much matching Miria. Though I do like the hair Caprice has as it seems so much more unique... Though I don't know how much it would match Miria's character in the story. We'd have to talk to the director.

You know your hair @chiba.

@ chiba:
This hair style reminds me more of Lune, and Miria's hair style is what you can't call poorly done, it's actually very hard to achieve: you need to have healthy, straight and thick hair, cuz it won't work on curly hair, and it won't have the same effect if the hair is thin or exhausted. Like this girl here - http://img368.imageshack.us/img368/4251/220rd9.jpg
her hair looks very thin, and only the shortest layer is sittinng the way it's suppose to be.
Then it must be cut on layers, and beleive me that is not as easy as it looks, some unexperienced hairdresser might butcher your hair if he cuts the layers too deep, it happened to me once and it took months for my hair to recover so I can cut it again and get the hairstyle I wanted. After the layering is done the tips of the hair are artificially made thiner with special scissors - http://www.manicure4u.co.uk/images/627-55.jpg
this done so that when you prosses the hair it can get the spiky look. After the thining is done you put some styling products on the hair and use a round brush -
http://www.cuttininn.com/Products/Images/ACFA0CB.jpg
and a blowdryer to make the tips of the hair stick out, in Miria's case they're pointing "in" to her face and are underlining it's shape and features. Although it's not possible to find and exact match to Miria's hair, I'm sure there is something that comes really close to hers.
