Yeah because Hollywood is gonna be SO faithful to the source material and absolutely nail it.

Yes because otherwise Kanye West will be mad as fuck

He will probably try to do the soundtrack or something if it looks like it will be good.

Actually it might be funny if it turns out a mess and kanye spergs out.

Unless Kanye is a financier I don't think anybody gives a fuck.

Live action Akira will never happen, so no worries.

Given Otomo was involved in the writing of the original film's screenplay, and, thus, the parts cut in the adaptation were parts he and Hashimoto didn't feel contributed significantly to the overarching message, I doubt this new film will be 'better'. Also, this is the guy that did Hunt for the Wilderpeople and What We Do in the Shadows, so unless he morphs Akira into a Kiwi comedy, I'm skeptical of his ability to give the source material the proper treatment.

More like they'll use some random unrelated script lying around and just change all the characters names to ones from Akira. That's how they usually do anime/manga adaptations in the west.

Is everyone ready for a white main character named Akira?

>the parts cut in the adaptation were parts he and Hashimoto didn't feel contributed significantly to the overarching message

Doesn't stop the fact that the anime was garbage compared to the manga

People have been going to "potentially adapt Akira" for decades. Fuckin leonardo decaprio was gonna be Kaneda at one point.

I think we can all agree that Shotaro was actually a proud black woman of color and Tetsuo represents the white man in modern society.

>Is everyone ready for a white main character named Akira?
Um, that's cultural appropriation sweetie. His name will be Akron and he will be a proud African warrior.

>they get kayne to play as Akira
The shitstorm would be hilarious

Sup bitches

Fuck off with your shitty life action shit and your cancerous twatter-thread.

>wahh why aren't we discussing DBS for the 100th time

This is the Akira thread now

Who are you quoting, faggot?
Also, you are not talking about an anime, but a gay western movie. Fuck off to Sup Forums.

...

>Manga live adaptation
>Kanye West, Death Grips, and Daft Punk do the sound track
I'd watch it, who plays Kaneda and Tesuo though?

I wasn't aware a terrible anime adaptation of Akira existed

They said the same thing about GitS. It's just an excuse to give them more freedom to fuck it up even more.

>falling for life action adaptation meme

Watch Sion Son's manga adaptations of Himizu and Tokyo Tribe

I like Taika Waititi but this is just random. Nothing in his filmography has even a passing resemblance to Akira.

>wow he cares about the source materials he's a nerd just like me xd1!!one
Fuck off.

>kayne as Akira
Casting Kanye as a telekinetic sperglord would be an excellent casting. I think they'll go Stranger Things with it. Child actors are big right now and Akira fits the model.

Kanye will be too busy campaigning for POTUS by the time this goes into production

Would be nice if that happened, the movie is absolute trash. Pretty but still trash

He likes the movie not the manga though

>"I don’t believe the world needs a remake of the anime. I think, for me, it would be — if there’s any real possibility for doing it — I would really just want to look at an adaptation of the books in a new way.”
>I would really just want to look at an adaptation of the books in a new way.”
>adaptation of the books in a new way.”
>IN A NEW WAY

He's not saying I will adapt the manga, he's saying " I won't adapt the manga like the anime did it " I'll just make it a new thing, like Death Note or Ghost in the Shell or DBE

boom nailed it
>enjoying the fourth volume unironically
>thinking the pacing of manga is superior
I'm going to stop you there; I hope they include the following two scenes: the battlecruiser , and the final reminiscence of the motorcycle gang

Judging by how soulless GitS became after it was screened through Hollywood's tangled mess of values', I think it will be garbage. Akira was about half covered by Chronicle by way of a simpler school-shooter type character.

I don't get it, why are fans so aghast at the movie? The film would have needed some terribly shoehorned time-skip to cover the later portion of the manga, which was honestly drawn out and weaker.

Was it the final 15 minutes of the film that killed it for you?

Who cares? It's currently in development hell.
