It's kind of obvious that the production would change things around a little for the live-action version, because the original anime movie is only 60 minutes long.
Here's a hot new clip from July's live-action adaptation of the hit manga 'Blood: The Last Vampire'. In this preview Saya, the samurai vampire-slayer faces down a gruesome critter while trapped in a mountain crevice.
From Samuel Goldwyn Films, 'Blood: The Last Vampire' brings to life an English language live-action feature movie of the original Japanese anime feature film from a producer of 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' and 'Hero'.
Gianna (My Sassy Girl, Daisy) stars in the film as Saya, a 400-year-old demon-hunting vampire slayer working undercover in Japan for a secret organization, on a mission in the Vietnam War era. The cast also includes Koyuki (The Last Samurai, Always: Sunset on Third Street), Michael Byrne (Beyond the Sea, Gangs of New York), Colin Salmon (Resident Evil, Punisher: War Zone, Clubbed), and Allison Miller (“Kings”). The film features stunt choreographed by Cory Yuen (Transporter 3, Red Cliff), is produced by Bill Kong and Abel Nahmias, with screenplay by Chris Chow.
'Blood: The Last Vampire' opens in theaters July 10th. For more info about the film visit the official website, the Facebook page or the Myspace page.

I was really looking forward to this next month but the FX look kind of week. I still am wondering if they will take elements from the blood series and include them in this movie - like Saya having a twin sister who is evil
I will try to catch this. The anime movie (if we can call it that, it was like 40 min. long) is one of the few animes that I like. But from what I've seen from the trailers it doesn't seem to be quite different from the anime.
The effects weren't great but the wire work alone may be worth it. It looks like fun.
