There's An Alleged Live Action Lupin III Movie in the Works

Lupin III time once again. According to a report by the Japanese newspaper The Tokyo Sports, casting is well underway for a live-action Lupin III movie with Shun Oguri reportedly holding the role of the master thief.

Aside from Ouri, rumor also has it that the roles of Jigen and Goemon have already been given to Arashi's Sho Sakurai and Satoshi Tsumabuki respectively.

Unfortunately for fanboys, the rumor does not state who Fujiko Mine will be. Although the newspaper dropped several names when they printed this little rumor including Mirei Kiritani, Masami Nagasawa, Anne Watanabe, Airi Taira, Kyoko Fukada, Asami Mizukawa, Tsubasa Honda, Kiko Mizuhara, and Kou Shibasaki.

Now for the sad part, Animenewsnetworth adds that "NTV, the television broadcaster of the Lupin III anime, has not officially announced a live-action Lupin III film." Plus there's also the fact that the casting seems so.... 'fancasted' don't you think?

Regardless, I'm looking forward to see a live-action Lupin III and if Rurouni Kenshin/ Samurai X is a good indication, then maybe it's high time anime and manga series start developing high quality movie adaptations. Oh and before you go, do vote for this little game I'm hatching for Cosplay battle, we have three ladies battling for the right to be called the ULTIMATE Fujiko Cosplayer. Click for the link - HERE

Who's The Best Looking Fujiko Cosplayer Among the Jinri, Yaya and Kisaki?

Cosplay fight! Our main subject is Lupin III's love interest Fujiko Mine. She's getting a lot of tributes lately so I decided to create this little poll:

Jinri Park 

This cosplay shot was done by Jay Tablante only recently and featured Korean stunner/ DJ/ actress Jinri Park as Ms. Mine about to escape. I totally love the materials used and more importantly the way the shot was composed. If you need more information on this Korean beauty with a Filipina heart, just google her. 

Yaya Han

Not so much with the costume but it's pretty obvious why this famous cosplayer has what it takes to be THE definitive Fujiko Mine cosplayer.

Kisaki Urumi

Miss Han might have some of the parts that's needed to cosplay Fujiko but world-famous cosplayer Kisakiurumi shows us why she's one of the prettiest and most dedicated cosplayers around.

So who do you guys think is the best among the best? Local brew Jinri? US based Yaya or awesome sauce Kisakiurumi?

Who's the Better Fujiko Cosplayer?
	Jinri Park
	Yaya Han

Jinri Park is Fujiko in New Jay Tablante Cosplay Shoot

Jinri Park suddenly goes from being the sweet and bubbly koreana DJ to a full blown femme fatale when she channels Lupin III's main squeeze Fujiko Mine for one of photographer Jay Tablante's cosplay shoots. 

Managed to wrangle in a few questions for Jay amidst his very busy schedule and here's what he's got to say about Fujiko/ Jinri and his future cosplay shoot projects.

Q: What's the camera settings for the final shot?
