It will be premiered in the autumn of 2010. The main character of the movie is Ryuusuke, not Koyuki (Tanaka Yukio), who was the main of manga. Cast Minami Ryusuke: Mizushima Hiro (official website) Tanaka Yukio: Sato Takeru (official blog) Chiba Tsunemi: Kiritani Kenta (profile) Sakurai Yuji: Nakamura Aoi (official blog) Taira Yoshiyuki: Mukai Osamu (official blog) Source: Sports Hochi |

| They better not screw this up. But then again, I don't think they will. I'm looking forward to this. |
| Hiro Mizushima and Takeru Satoh playing off of each other again? Why not. Plus, Hiro playing Minami is just awesome casting. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| I just had a heart attack of JOY! Great casting choices (Though Takeru isn't a superb singer) and I am so excited! =D It's so awesome to see my fave manga series get a movie treatment with an adorable cast. I mean, so many fangirl bells are going off in my head! I love Sato Takeru, both he and Mizushima Hiro were Kamen Riders, Beck is AWESOME and my fave manga... I might just die when I see the movie. |
| <---made of awesome! |
| This might be the first time that the seeing the words manga and live action in the same sentence doesn't make me want to cry. Like Xplicit said, due to the realistic nature of the anime/manga, I see no reason a live action wouldn't work. I have never seen any of those actors before, so I can't comment on their acting or singing ability, but purely based on looks, they seem to fit the characters pretty well. That guy playing Chiba better get himself an afro though. I'm definitely looking forward to it, so hopefully it turns out good. |

That guy playing Chiba better get himself an afro though. Takeru is an okay singer, but maybe not anyone that would make the Dying Breed go "HOSHIT!" Mizushima Hiro speaks fluent English and is a great actor, so I think they got the most spot on casting there. The guy playing Chiba looks just like Chiba when he has a mustache. Though I too expect an afro or there will be hell to pay. |
| <---made of awesome! |
| I love BECK a lot so I hope this turns out great!! Only actor I don't know is Nakamura Aoi. But yay for Mukai Osamu as Taira <3 & wow Mizushima Hiro and Sato Takeru together again? Susan said: The guy playing Chiba looks just like Chiba when he has a mustache. Though I too expect an afro or there will be hell to pay. I remember his part in Ryuusei no Kizuna. I think he could do well. xD |

| Who's Maho and Izumi going to be? |
| Huge huge huge fan of the BECK series, both manga and the anime.. definitely am delighted by the news but they sooo better not screw such an awesome work. |
"It's because you exist.. That I'm here right now.."  |
| Hiro as Ryusuke. Excuse me while I fangirl all over myself. |
 |
| This could be great. Beck practically begs for a live-action adaption. |
  |
| Satoh is a bit old, he is a good actor, but Koyuki was 14 I believe. Hiro as Ray though, that works. Otherwise, one of the few that could be really good live action. |
| My anime list |
| i would love to see a Hollywood adaptation of this since Beck is really realistic |
| Sato kinda looks like a douche. This could suck horribly. |
 |
| I guess that means it's about time I started the anime. |
| awesome, but no announcement of maho :[ |
| No. O_O Edit: Ok, all the guys look good. So maybe yes. |
 Waratte Oemashou Sore ha Chiisana Inori |
| NO Afro will mean fail |
| cast looks pretty good, i know for sure that they can all act....im excited |

| OMG YES I will be looking forward to this |
Chicken + Dictionary + Dictionary = CMC. Eeyup.  |
| i like the cast. :D |
Xplicit said: Maybe it could work out to be decent at least, since "Beck" is a realistic anime anyway. Probably the reason it will work out. This might just be the first subtitled Japanese movie i watch, I loved beck. |
  |
| They could have made a second season of the anime,but then again this seems cool...and it might be pretty good since 20 th century boys movie is good even though it's a bit supernatural. |
| Omg. Sato Takeru and Mizushima hiro!!! Niiice AND the director of the 20th century boys films? (which was AWESOME bytheway) this movie is definitely one i'm looking forward to already, even though i know nothing about BECK xD |
| That sounds awesome |
| Sato Takeru looks nothing like Koyuki... XD ah well! |

| This is probably one of the few anime out there that can possibly be made into a good live action. |
vindemon64 said: This is probably one of the few anime out there that can possibly be made into a good live action. Yes yes. I just finished the manga too. |
 |
| can't wait for it! this could be really good.... i love beck !i hope they do a good job... |

| 'Beck' is one of the few anime that comes to mind when I think of series that, on paper, shouldn't be too hard to adapt to live action. I'll actually turn my sceptic radar off for once and give this a chance. |
| Your search on "Oran Solus" returned the following quotes: "Oran Solus? I know him. What a wanker. He still owes me a tenner." Oscar Wilde "Oran, you're so intelligent and awesome <3" Bakayaro "Oran's sexy." LolitaDecay "Oran is a sophisticated penguin." Drybananna "Oran is a Hand-Eye you faggots." EddieSpaghetti "Oran for Prime Minister." the_prime_one "Oran is all that is stated in his sig and more." orbitzz |
| daammnn cant wait for this the actors kinda look like the characters hope that it will work out who''s going to play maho :O :O |
| Gotta agree that BECK has a higher tax of sucess due to the story not having exactly mystical elements like magic and flying cows and stuff... Still i am kinda skeptycal |
| Fuck yeah!! I just hope they get someone awesome for Maho. |
| ohh another live action :O they better not messed this one |
| I hope they do the best and don`t disappoint us |
| Sorry but my english is little rusty. |
| Interesting.... THIS STILL WON'T REPLACE A SECOND SEASON THOUGH Looking forward to the LA release anyways |
 |
| BECK cast appeared on Japanese TV this morning. I've capped them from a .flv video, so it's not great quality, but you can atleast compare them to their characters. Reference (from top left): Mizushima Hiro, Sato Takeru, Mukai Osamu, Nakamura Aoi and Kiritani Kenta. Big pic under; |
| I reckon it will be good no matter what you guys say, I am not picky with movies and I am easily impressed..so even if the ratings are poor I will still enjoy it. |
