Manga is a comic industry that has fans worldwide, though sometimes it is surprising to see who is reading. On social media, Tommy Wiseau - director and lead of the 2003 film, The Room - shared an edited photo involving Berserk. No, that isn't Griffith's armor. He's had his head placed on Locus.
Berserk is a hit manga series that was initially serialized in Monthly Animal House beginning in 1989. This magazine eventually became Young Animal, in 1992, where Berserk has been published ever since. The manga, created by Kentauro Miura, follows an antihero named Guts as he seeks revenge against his former friend in a war-torn world. Berserk has become a major topic as of late due to Miura's passing earlier this year, leaving the series incomplete and fans wondering if it will return via a changing of the guard with his assistants. The series has fans worldwide and it seems that Tommy Wiseau may be amongst their ranks.
On his Facebook page, Tommy Wiseau recently shared an edit of his head placed on the body of Locus. Locus is known as the "Moonlight Knight". He is an Apostle in this series, giving him free will and incredible power. Unlike many other Berserk Apostles, Locus is capable of controlling the violent nature inherent in their monstrous forms. He is loyal to Griffith, the former friend that the story's lead, Guts. Tommy Wiseau's photo is a fun and unexpected edit.
Tommy Wiseau is famous for his 2003 film, The Room, which is dubbed by critics as one of the worst movies ever made. It has since garnered a cult following as a result. Wiseau is a filmmaker and actor, having starred in The Room and The Disaster Artist. He has an upcoming horror film that he wrote, directed, and is starring in, titled Big Shark. Wiseau is known for keeping his personal life under wraps, leaving fans to do a lot of speculation about him. However, one new detail may now be known about him.
Given this image, it is possible that Tommy Wiseau is a fan of Berserk and manga in general. Back in 2015, Wiseau expressed interest in directing a Fantastic Four sequel, after enjoying the film. If he enjoyed the film, it wouldn't be too large a jump to make that he could be a fan of comics, a medium to which manga belongs to. Ironically, this edit actually reveals a slight resemblance between Wiseau and Locus, particularly regarding their preferred hairstyles. Perhaps one day Tommy Wiseau will also express interest in directing a live-action adaptation of Berserk, which he would likely want to star in as his present character of choice within the manga. Locus is an intriguing selection for imitation, particularly since he is a very collected soldier, more likely to tear others apart honorably than be torn apart as Wiseau was in The Room.
