Future Tokusatsu Adaptations

[Kamen Rider Cherry]

On the topic of MBAV, I think Matthew Knight would be a good choice to play Eiji's counterpart on a possible OOO adaptation in case it was filmed in Canada.

 

[Mr. Underachiever]

Garo is almost perfect for an American adaptation. The show was clearly made with the western audience in mind.

The only problem is how to go about merchandise since the show wouldn't be for kids.

Someone get Todd Mcfarlane on the phone.

 

[HenshinSlayer]

12 high school teenagers in 4 different groups is gonna be a toughie. Having a toku series is Canada should be perfect.

Especially if Canada decides to use the Power rangers and Kamen Riders there.

If OOO was in Canada, I'd be full of excitement!

 

[Sentaifan'07 Xman]

Unless you were thinking about that idea for Adapting Hibiki.

 

[Mou...Mou...TAUROS!]

Americanized Garo huh?

Disgusting.

 

[GoseiGold]

Someone mentioned Ryukendo with teenagers here's how i'd go about it.

Ryukendo is a high school student who's accidentally brought into the fight and Ryugunoh is like the local sheriff, and Ryujinoh is antagonistic.

If I were to adapt GARO, I'd just remake it. None of the footage would be used from Japan, just the suits and maybe the monsters unless the budget allows for better effects which would liberate the monsters from the suits . If used for lowering the budget, it will be minimal and be blended.

This version of GARO is like the original series ,but diverges on one aspect. The Malachite Knights are a World Order descended from the original stone cutters of the Temple of Solomon and the swordsmen from India. An organization steeped in mystery and intrigue, it has garnered global influence through the adoption of the Makai Code, a code of laws that dictate how knights of the order act , live and go about their lives. They cannot allow their personal prejudices blur their mission and if they put themselves above the others, they shalled be remited in the Makala , a punishment that allows dismemberment of the armor that leads to death.

Since the 47 knights Massacre in Japan, their armors were destroyed in self sacrifice and left only two armors left in existence. One for the West and one for East, which was forgotten after the fall of Constantinople last worn by Constantine XI, the Eastern armor coming into a possesion of Mehmet , Vlad the Impaler ,Ivan the Terrible ,whih after his death went into possession of the Romanovs and then taken by Lenin and then Stalin until the armor was given to the sole heir of the Eastern Armor which married into the descendant of the original armor wearers. Their son, Alexei becomes the Eastern Grand Master Kinght of the order, and his fiancee is dead . Never marrying another woman , he swore, he fell in love with a Vitenamese orphaned boy and after the war ,filed successfully to adopt him. Kouga Anh Dung Romanov is his name, the boy who would become GARO.

With the rise of the Horrors that were the basis of the monsters of ancient myth and lore, Kouga must fight the Horrors upsurge while struggling to find a cure for a classmate Kara, the popular girl, whom will become one of them in 50 days if she does not die from the strain or by the Malachite Knight's sword facing a rogue knight and several others whom found the armors once thought to have been lost to ages with their own motivations.

Will they band together or will there be a battle royale to the death?

Americanized Garo huh?

Disgusting.

What? Garo is tailor-made for a western audience.

 

[Shynilyte]

Just because they're called "knights" instead of "samurai" or whatever, doesn't mean the show itself was "tailor-made" for a western audience. You do realizer that you're suggesting as if Garo was created for the purpose of airing in the West, do you?
