i think JJH fits the role of saya.. she can be cold and calm..I think the success of this film depends on how they market it with the American audience. Also, a big factor is JJh’s appeal.. I have been a fan of JJH for a while now, I am just happy that she is given this opportunity to be a lead star in a hollywood film.

Jeon Ji Hyun rocks and i really hope the debut in the amerian industry makes her justice, since i truly belive she has lots and lots of potencial

La Plume, sweety, I said funded, not founded. As in the current head of Red Shield was paying for all of it… or at least I think he was.

I watched Blood and the anime was freakin’ good. The music (especially sung by Hyde) were awesome, so I’m pretty curious about the film ^^
Didn’t know there was one in the making.

Ah Toya Red shield was founded by the great great grandfather of the head of Red Shield…Anyway it was originnally from his family and they created the association to atone for their sin with Diva.

As for emanuel it may be this for the movie I haven’t watched it but not the anime.
In the anime Saya and Diva are two sisters that were found in the same “egg” the two girls were woken up by blood. Both are immortal but need blood to survive, but each sister’s blood can kill the other and with that blood they can either create some kind of monsters that are called don’t rememberwhat but I guess you could say it some kind of vampire, or if they make human drink it when they’re on the verge of death, they can create “chevaliers” which are kind of like her and whose role is to protect her.

While Diva was brought up in a cell apart from humans, Saya was on the other side brought up like a real girl. But Saya found Diva and released her not knowing that she would turn out to be…err pretty scary. The Red Shield association was then founded by the family of the scientist that worked on the two sisters, Saya works for them and their ultimate goal is to get rid of Diva who kills and create monsters everywhere.

As for Hagi he’s the first chevalier that Saya “created” by mistake in fact, she didn’t know he would turn out immortal like this.

Anyway, I’m eager to watch this ^^ Thanks Javabeans for the info ^^

I guess I don’t really care for the story…I’m just curious about how she’ll do in it.

Emanuel, the synopsis you gave was a little inaccurate. She isn’t a hitman for the Government in either Anime production.

In the movie, Saya worked for an organization separate from the government that hunted down vampires. No specific organization was mentioned but seeing as they are not with the US and at the end of the movie, I believe it’s the Japanese Government that was asking around and showing her picture.

As for the Anime “Blood “, they elaborated more on the organization saying Saya worked with “Red Shield” which at the point that draws the anime and movie together is the David character seeing as it was I believe his grandfather or his father, still can’t remember at the moment, whom she was partnered with and the current David was following in their footsteps. Though for the anime (I may be wrong about this one cus I finished it a while ago) wasn’t Red Shield funded by the head of the organization?

I have only seen her act in the movie Windstruck, so not sure if one movie is good enough to base her acting skills on, but I think she’d do a great job at the role.

The range of emotion in Windstruck shows she’s capable of pulling it off, just wondering how she’s going to portray Saya’s Stoic-yet-not attitude.

I am anticipating the fight scenes. She was pretty good at them.
