Gareth Evans (director of The Raid and The Raid 2) is being considered by Sony Pictures to direct a big budget adaptation of the famed manga Golgo 13.
How do you guys feel about this? Do you think that after the Superhero boom dies down a bit, that manga will be the next big thing studios go to for adaptations?

I haven't seen it, but it gets a lot of love for its over the top fight choreography and cinematography.
>>124490812
Both of them are fucking awesome.
>>124490812
Deliver it's premise very well without having pretend to be more than it is, which is good
TL:DR: it's fucking awesome
Guess we'll see, there's always talk of various anime and manga being adapted into movies that never come about. I'm not sure if a Golgo film would work. Even though there were two live action films, they also changed his character a bit too much.

It's meh, it has some good fight scenes but I was pretty bored by it.

Cool. I think he'll do a good job.
>>124490812
Pure awesome. Personally I like the first movie more because the story is more direct.
>>124491370
Name a better action movie then
>>124490812
The fights are god-tier
The story could be a bit better imo
This is going to be sick.
>>124490812
5/5 movies
Second one has not-so-good pacing but the fights are just as good if not better than the first.
I fucking love Golgo 13, I can't wait.
