Live Action Gantz Movie Announced

Announced a couple days ago, fans of the popular sci-fi manga Gantz can either rejoice or cringe in fear as a two part live action adaptation is on the way. Good news is that it's not being made by Hollywood. Ken'ichi Matsuyama (probably most well known for his acting work in live action adaptations as L in Death Note, Johannes Krauser II in Detroit Metal City, and Shinichi Okazaki in Nana) along with Kazunari Ninomiya will be starting in the film. Filming is reported to begin next month with an expected opening date between winter and spring 2011. The CG will be handled by Digital Frontier who has worked films such as both Appleseed movies, Evangelion: 1.0, Resident Evil: Degeneration, and Summer Wars.

Metal Gear Solid Philanthropy Released

Metal Gear Solid Philanthropy, a fan made movie based on Hideo Kojima's Metal Gear Solid (MGS) series has final been released online available for download or stream after numerous delays. The film runs roughly an hour long ending with a cliffhanger. Hive Division, the fan made studio, has expressed interest in making two more sequels, though they are awaiting for fan and critic responses. Surprisingly the voice for Snake in the film sounds quite similar to David Hayter, the American voice actor for MGS. If you are a fan of MGS, you might as well hop on over and watch the film if you haven't already.
