Barely any information? I'm sorry but you acting like this is the only info we have on the film. There has been a ton of casting news, small plot points, interviews etc. You can actually see, gathering all scraps of info that's there in front of you, when a film is going to be bad.

You know what is annoying, the fact you have to go against what the majority of people on here say. Not just me by the way, a lot of people. Even though you could let people have their own opinions, you can't help yourself and reply just so you can write some smart ass reply making it seem like they are wrong and what you say is right.

People could say the grass is green and you'd probably try and find away to argue it's not

I mean you agree it's not that promising, yet you still need to open your mouth and for what, to say how despite agreeing deep down, you actually don't...does that make sense? Have an opinion sure but at least contribute to the convo/article...not rip on someone because your having a tantrum over their opinion...which again you kind of agree with.

I'm actually firmly in his court on this.

It just sounds ridiculous. If you're going to make a movie based on an established brand, you stick to the brands source materials. You can deviate from it a little, but to completely rewrite and change the core of who these people are is a stupid move.

Pffft...where are you looking, have you seen the forums, facebook pages and stuff, it's not just me mate.

Why defend crap like this which has shit all over the source material.

Your sending out the wrong message, I couldn't care even if it was decent, if you need to change the entire source material of something what is the point of doing an adaptation of it.

And at least they have you to go see it on opening day... Along with maybe three other people who think "hacktivist Doom" is cool.

If Josh Trank was making the Live screen version of Akira (which he kinda already did with Chronicle)then I would say unequivocally he has my support but with this (granted a rumor) I have no faith in the project.

I can't have faith in someone with just one movie under his belt , with that kind of gloomy and depressing details and choices surrounding the movie .

Especially when said single movie , was just good . Not some flawless gem or the new citizen kane . Tet people clutche to it as some proof than the "next movie gotta be good" despite everything indicating the opposite thus far .

Also it baffles the mind , considering how much Chronicles was a rip-off/hommage of Akira and various animes and manga .... that yet Trank cant even find and muster the energy to give one glimmer of hope and good news for fans of a comics franchise he is this time officially adapting .
