It would've been nice if they got a fat guy to be Ryu.
I'd hope they would have the actor put on some pounds for the role. Ryu should definitely not look like a whisper thin ikemen lad.

I like most of the cast, except their choice for Joe the Condor. I just don't think Go Ayano looks cool enough or dark enough to play the Condor (Jetman got theirs down much much better), and I think Tori Matsuzaka while a good choice as Ken the Eagle would've been AMAZING as Joe the Condor. Just check out his performance as Takeru in Shinkenger and you can see why, especially early on when he likes to go in solo (much like Joe would) and leaves his teammates behind. I hope the movie will do Gatchaman justice, because it's a long time coming for us Gatchaman fans.
Spider Orphenoch ain't cool enough to play Joe.

His role as Takeru makes it easier for me to see him as Ken than as Joe. He wasn't going solo for the kind of reasons that Joe would. For Takeru despite knowing that Shinkenger is supposed to be a team he wanted to take the responsibility exclusively upon himself and of course towards the end of the series we learn a big part of the reason why he would feel that way.
I do kind of agree with you about their pick for Joe. It's kind of hard to visualize just from the pics available. Joe and Ryu are the two casting picks I'm a little unsure about right now. I love that they got the kid from the Ultraman Zero movie as Jinpei. We'll see. In the meantime some inspiration:
Gatchaman Opening - YouTube
Coming out in 2010!!!!
Gatchaman first look - YouTube
Yeah that failed...
Would have been like the TMNT CGI movie.
I like this song, but I like Ichiro Mizuki's version better. But this version's good too.

I've seen Ayano in a couple of works, although I don't know much about this Joe character, I'd say Ayano could nail the part down acting wise. He's done dark roles before. Funny enough, it was in Gantz, the same film this screenwriter wrote.
