Q6 is interesting question.
If I will make the Japanese film about 'Last of mohicans'.
I think make the "YAKUZA story".
Those compositions similar very well,because small organization implicated in unified struggle of large organization. And, scrambling for the woman is also the same.Location is Tokyo in postwar Japan.Music is Ryuichi Sakamoto. His sound is the tension, and is magnificent.
Japanese actors is as follows.
Hawk-eye is "Etsushi Toyokawa",His masterpiece is "New Battles Without Honor and Humanity".He is typical of the serious character at Japan,and performed the powerful man by "21th Century Boy"
Magua is very important character,because he has relationship with all happening. So difficult.
I think choose to" Tatuya Fujiwara".His masterpiece is "BATTLE ROYALE".
Chingachgook is "Bunta Sugawara", He performs in a quietly refined way.
Cora is"Koyuki",She is beautiful and strong feeling.
About Uncas and Alice,I will choose the popular young actors at that time.
And,Tamenund is"Hisaya Morishige".But he recently dead.
What do you think this direction?

Hi Hiroto,
ReplyDeleteYou have found a very interesting cast for your Yakuza movie! I'm afraid I am not familiar with them, but I like the idea and the modern location, as well as the music. I am a big fan of the Yoshida Brothers - would their style fit into the film somewhere?!
Have a great holiday, and enjoy your next book.
