Lupin-Jim Carrey
Zenogata- James Garner?

Eastwood as Jigen? If Eastwood was younger, maybe, but I think Billy Bob Thorton would be a better choice.

Who is Zhang Ziyi? If Lupin was done as an American film using American film stars, Americans aren't going to know who that is.

zhang ziyi is the chinese actress that played in the movie memoirs of a geisha.

Yeah sure... Sorry about this but I feel that everytime the Westerns dramatize or simply borrowing the concept of Japanese it becomes "ill-fated"... I mean "duh!" Sample of w/c is the concept of the ninja, samurais and the list goes on...

The movie could be done as a collaboration between American and Japanese production teams. I wasn't suggesting that the film should be done exclusively in the US.

Zhang Ziyi is cute, But I don't think she looks like Fujiko. You should get a Jane Fonda-type to play her.

Doesn't Fujiko's name literally mean "bad girl" (fuji + ko) in Japanese?
