What if the Anime “Madlax” was made into a real movie?

Kind of an interesting question… at least to me. This question just popped up into my head, and I kept thinking about it. I then came up with what I think the cast should be for it. I hope you’ll agree with me, or maybe you’ll find this assemble of actors and actresses interesting.

Since Madlax is a “Girls-With-Guns” Anime by Bee-Train, there are many factors to consider as to who can play which part. And ironically, I kinda had trouble casting the right person for the Madlax part, but I think I did good enough. So who should star in this Anime adaptation?

Madlax. No one was ever better than her in battle, her assignments are 98% successful. I think Kristen Bell would fit the role of Madlax pretty perfectly. Not only does she look closest to The Kind Killer, I think she also would do a very great job of portraying her on the big screen. She will smile at you. She will charm you. She will seduce you. And she will most certainly harm you. Ah yes, and she likes Pasta.

Who’s next?

Margaret Burton is a mysterious, but very kind person. She is mind-absent at times, and speaks in riddles. I think Emma Watson is the best fit for this role. Her hair would have to be a bit shorter… but oh well. In my opinion she would do a great job of portraying this girl who has no parents anymore. Margaret is clumsy at times, and seems to have a high interest in red shoes, and, well, shows up late for school. This doesn’t make her any less intelligent. Emma would also do a good job of trying to let no one see the picture book Margaret possesses.

Moving on!

Now working for Bookwald Industries and forced to move back to Nafrece is Vanessa Rene. To my mind, Courtney Cox would be the most perfect fit for her. She is Margaret’s former tutor and has looked after her when her mother died. She is also the one who decided that it is best to have a maid for Margaret. Vanessa is a woman who is standing confident in life and is believed to be around 35. I think Courtney Cox would deliver a great performance if she were to play her role some day.

Right… next!

Ultimately employed by Margaret is Elenore, her maid. She has sworn to protect and serve her, and to be with her at all times. Carla Gugino would be the perfect match for her role, as I think she already is very kind at her heart. Protecting Margaret is a full-time job you see… but Margaret finds Elenore’s caring for her too annoying at times – as you can imagine =D Elenore is a very intelligent young lady with some areas of expertise you would not think she might have in the beginning. Carla would, I think, portray her so very well on the big screen.

We need bad guys.

I don’t think I need to introduce Sir Sean Connery. In Madlax, our bad guy is Friday-Monday. Weird name… I know. This man firmly believes that he is only helping everyone by unleashing their true nature. I can think of no better fit as Sean Connery… we all would love to see him play the bad guy, no? I think so. The former James Bond actor would be the most perfect fit for this dark and mysterious bad guy.

Bad guys need help.

The intentions of this man are not entirely clear at first. Is he following his own agenda? Or helping Margaret? Either way, Keanu Reeves would be the most perfect fit for this character. Keanu’s voice needs a bit of training, but right now he is almost there and could play this man without any problems. Carrossea is apparently involved in the civil war that is happening in Gazth-Sonika. How deep? Who knows. He is the most excellent choice for this character. Whoa!

One left.

She’s a super sharp shooter and pretty good at what she does. Believed to be the former lover of Carrossea Doon is Limelda Jorg. Now, I cannot think of a better fit for this role as Cameron Diaz. She would, I think, deliver the most realistic real-world version of this character. Who she fights for, or why, we don’t know. We only know that when Madlax’ and her paths cross, Limelda puts Madlax on her to-shoot list. Wanna see Cameron Diaz trying to shoot Kristen Bell and get into a fight? I think so too.

And that’s it… I just wanted to post my thoughts on that.
