Warner Bros.' attempts to produce a live-action movie based on Katsuhiro Otomo's classic cyberpunk anime film Akira has been ongoing for many years now, but after departing the director's chair in early 2012 when production stalled, Jaume Collet-Serra is returning to the fold and plans to go into production on the movie as early as Spring 2014.
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
Kaam Chalu Hai Review: Based on true events, this movie is thought-provoking and inspiring
Rebel Moon Part 2 Review: This movie doesn't feel anything new or worth remembering, which is a shame.
Lose the script from before, lose the casting and start it all over from scratch and MAYBE we can talk. Otherwise, just leave it the hell alone.
Cool. I'm looking forward to seeing a live action version of Akira, unless of course they get Nolan to direct, and make it "realistic".
Just drop it. It will probably end up a turkey along the lines of Aeon Flux, Max Payne, Dragon Ball Evolution or League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
I know most of these examples aren't anime, but they exemplifies how Hollywood usually just don't care about the source material, and make something that exploits the name of a known or established ip instead of taking a chance on something new.
75% of the time that results in something neither fans or newcomers really can call quality or a good representation of the source material...
NEO New York? Are you kidding me? This movie just went from must watch to barely on my radar. Shame.
