Someone give that makeup guy a raise

I’m a few weeks late to this news, but I haven’t seen this pic floating around yet (forgive me if you already have): So Ji Sub (yes, this one and, unfortunately, also this one) dons the role of a spirit in upcoming Japanese film Gegege no Kitaro. The movie releases in Japan on July 12.

  3. ziggy

    oh my! the makeup is AMAZING! i hardly recognized him.

    thanks for sharing. haven’t seen this photo of him yet.

    What’s this?

    The asian version of Lord of the Rings?

  5. aya

    I’ve seen this on soompi a few weeks ago.. yeah.. scary.. i don’t really like the idea of him being a zombie. but like some fan said, this will show his versatility

  6. kpopit

    He looks AWESOME!

  7. hanna

    wow I would have rather not known that this is him…
    but for a kitaro character, he looks perfecto!

  8. marcel

    dude.. SJS def looks like something out of my nightmares.. i’ve always thought asian ghosts way are scarier than western ones.. esp the ones with white clothes & long hair.. >_

    Another adaptation? Or is this the sequel to the first?
    He looks… good?

    wow I can’t tell it’s so ji sub. The make up artist did an amazing job!

    oh. um. woww. that’s scary..

    Love how So Ji Sub’s done a fantastic job avoiding the “4 bloody years since me and my tragically hip self has showed up on a K-drama!” issue. Absolutely LOVE it! :( :( :(

    I think this would be the Kitaro sequel. Eiji and Mao did the Kitaro remake in 2007, and I assume Eiji’s reprising the role.

    OMG what did they do to my jisub oppa!! OMG *cries*
    He really looks like an anime character. O.o Really pale too, like a ghost or white person. @_@ *steals his staff* >.>

    ohhhh I liked Kitaro!! “-)

    I find him so hot right now, never really did before. God that make up guy does need a raise.

  16. 16 rocketfuel

    He’d win first place at a cosplay anime convention…

  17. 17 Renzus

    oh my, he looks icky.. (hairs standing..)

  18. 18 tc

    SJS looks hot no matter what! Love that yasha look! HA!

  19. 19 j

    I think he looks very cool! I just didn’t realize he was so slim.

    I hardly recognized him at first O.O
    Good makeup artist.
    Hope he does good in the upcoming movie. :D
    Although I think I prefer the Brown Bunny pictures !! J/K LOlz

    Nobody prefers SJS’s Brown Bunny picture, except maybe Chloe Sevigny. Doesn’t anybody else think Vincent Gallo is a little . . . gross?

  22. 22 teacup

    wow. i knew that guy could pull off those angsty japanese gothic type of characters. just didn’t know he could do it so well.

  23. 23 dae

    Awesome!!! Am glad So Ji Sub is active in films… am so gonna wait for it.

  24. 24 ed

    i honestly thought he was kang dong won for a sec – for that sorcery movie coming soon. will they dub SJS too?

  25. 25 belleza

    I doubt it — I would be surprised if he has more than a few lines. Kitaro is mostly for the kids.
