The official website for Yûdai Yamaguchi's live-action Sakigake!! Cromartie High School - The Movie (Sakigake!! Kuromati Kôkô - The Movie) is online. At present, there's just a home page; however, for info on the characters in the movie, you can visit A.D. Vision's subsite (in English) for the anime TV series. Both the movie and TV series are based on a manga serial by Eiji Nonaka. The movie apparently stars Takamasa Suga as Takashi Kamiyama, Mitsuki Koga as Shinjirô Hayashida, Hiroshi Yamamoto as Akira Maeda and Akira's mother, Yoshihiro Takayama as Yutaka Takenouchi, Itsuji Itao as Masked Takenouchi, Hiroyuki Watanabe as Freddy, Noboru Kaneko as Takeshi Hokuto, Shôichirô Masumoto (who wrote the screenplay for the movie) as Noboru Yamaguchi and Gorilla, Ken'ichi Endô as Pootan, and Shinji Takeda as the voice of Shin'ichi Mechazawa. The cast also includes Noboru Takachi, Kai Atô, and Tak Sakaguchi.
Interesting. While I didn't particularly care for the anime, this could work out well as live-action.
I have recently been watching the live-action version of Gokusen and, in my opinion, it works a lot better than the anime counterpart even though the episodes are essentially the same with only minor character changes and so on.
I wonder if this one will be as weird as Battlefield Baseball ... good to see it's got Tak in it, though ... he's always fun to watch ...
It'll be kinda hard to make a live thing with Cromartie...well..we'll see but i'm not sure this is necessary.
