AKIRA

Could Snyder pull off the inevitable remake?

I think he's /ourguy/ for the job.

No. Snyder has the philosophical musings of a toddler and can’t handle adult themes to save his life (see Watchmen, Man of Steel).

Hopefully Jonathan Glazer directs it

The theme of transhumanism is basically already explored by Watchmen and MoS.

Yeah. And it’s done fucking atrociously. Look at how Snyder did the rape reveal in watchmen and realise he’s not the man for the job

Snyder said not long ago that he wanted to do George Washington kino

triggered tumblrina go back and stay there.

>People actually believe synder is a good director

Oh i get it! this that fourchan "irony" right? Fun!

Why do you type like that? It just comes off so third-world. Are you third-world?

>this thread
What a waste of archive space

Snyder could be behind one of the cameras or sit in the edit room. I think he is great when it comes to editing and cinematography. However when it comes to pacing, story telling and script writing he is one of the worst hacks in Hollywood.

What? It was handled poorly and had about as much impact as any quip in Snyder universe. Compare it to Irreversible.

I'll be fucking shocked if they ever gets made. of all the anime properties to pick for a remake AKIRA has to be the toughest to crack. it's such a japanese story that you have only 2 options. a.) make it with an all-japanese cast and set in tokyo. b.) change absolutely everything about and make it with whypipo (or POC and girls) with a setting in the US.

I honestly don’t see how it at all connected to Tokyo or Japan

As long as he doesn't touch the script in anyway, then I guess he could. However, Snyder CGI shots is kinda crappy.

It kinda feels like futuristic new york to me than tokyo

>a director who wants to be taken seriously will have a filmography filled with exclusively capeshit and weeaboo cartoon garbage
Epic

They could shoot it in Tokyo, Singapore, Shanghai or NYC, or else do it all in studio. Will need some asian characters though. I don't know how good it'll be. They should just take the concept and make something new tbqh

And it'll be dreadful

Let Kanye West direct it

Mexicans aren't people

Jordan Peele already signed to direct this.

butthurt fag

itt no one saw chronicle

There is a problem with doing an AKira movie. First of all, the cartoon is a classic, but the story is extremely stupid (typical of japnaese cartoons\comic books).

but if they keep the cool parts and make an interesting story, the nerds will scream and it might cause a box office drop-

so, how to resolve this conundrum? You either remake the cartoon scene for scene- but this seems unnecessary- and you keep the stupid--as-shit story and themes or you risk massive nerd backlash if you change something

fuck you, faggot

nah it will never get made, they just keep announcing a new director every couple of months based on how hot their latest movie is
no he didn't the latest guy to be in talks about it is Takia waititi even making a joke about it while promoting thor

Of course. He's /ourguy/

buthurt capecomedy cuck

Well, it IS anime, so it is shit to begin with.

if josh trank does it we're fucked

looks like it should be a villeneuve/deakins job by that poster

making a miniseries based on the manga instead would probably work better.

>Snyder

Honestly what do people see in this guy?

300 was his only good movie

i will hunt you down and kill u

fuck this noise
maybe hollywood for once not shit on something just once

dawn of the dead

NoNoNoNo and NO! I will do everything in my power to stop this from ever being produced, especially in Hollywood!!

He only directed two good movies, what make you think he can handle a kino like this.

>im butthurt because MoS and Watchmen are objectively shit
>i therefore must enjoy other terrible capeshit films
the state of you

if u need help user im here

you sound like a soyboy

AT LEAST SNYDER WOULDN'T QUIP IT UP LIKE A RETARD, ALA DISNEY MARVEL OR NUWARS

VILLENEUVE IS CLEARLY THE GUY FOR THE JOB, OR NOLAN

THE ONLY BLOCKBUSTER AUTEURS IN EXISTENCE

Yah lol can we get another star wars thread pls lmao lol XD

What were the first name of Kaneda's and Tetsuo's parents?

The dropping of the atomic bomb on Japan is woven through every seam of this story. It literally is inseparable from Japan and it's history. Did i just get baited?

The remake will take a comedic angle and will star James Franco and Seth Rogen as the leads.

Haha seriously?!

just call the film AKINO im already invested

never revealed

If anyone's gonna direct Akira, it has to be Michael Mann or Ridley Scott (see Black Rain).

It will be a terrible let down like GITS and taint the original animated movie.

>Live action Akira remake

>soderberg
>villineuve
>glazer
>Boyle
There loads of decent directors who could do this. synder is not one of them though

>objectively
hmmmmmmmmmm

>Will need some asian characters though.
the thing is, even if they cast some asians, it'll be chinks or koreans and not japanese because "they all look the same" and there are disproportionally more english speaking actors in china/korea than japan.

just no. Please no. God no.

>implying based snyder would ever make weeb shit

I love Glazer, but that is a strange choice for this. Whatever makes you feel patrician, though.

>the latest guy to be in talks about it is Takia waititi
is he even still in talks? havent heard a peep about it since his quips during ragnarok press.

>Snyder
>/ourguy/
Maybe in India

I don't think so, he handled tramshumanism and not understanding the body very well in under the skin. He could deal wonderfully with the philosophy of Akira as oppose to it being a generic action cgi shit fest

just let it be a 10 hour netflix show already. maybe if altered carbon is a hit for them.

Damn, you're right. You're wrong now because I'm here but you're right.

Yes. Although I've read the manga and I don't think it's as deep as people believe it. The story itself is cool and the world dynamics make sense but it's largely just scifi epic plot points.

>taint the original animated movie
I never understood that line of reasoning. bad films are just IRL shitposts. it's like believing a shitpost about your favorite film on Sup Forums "taints" your favorite film. grow some skin.

>he handled tramshumanism and not understanding the body very well in under the skin
that part I obviously agree on. but visually his films have absolutely nothing to do with akira

Yeah, we also saw fantastic four so Trank is of the menu

>PLEBFLIX
>NOBUDGET L O S T TIER CGIFEST
NAA M8

DO IT LIKE BLADE RUNNER 2049 WITH 100M+ BLOCKBUSTER BUDGET, JUST CON THE STUDIO INTO WRITING THE CHECK
WHO CARES IF IT MAKES ITS MONEY BACK, WE STILL GET THE MOVIE

It ruins the legacy of the original movie and the manga.

Nothing is as deep as people believe if you read it in a post 2000's mindset

But Akira does rely a lot on action. And also worldbuilding - a lot of which was stripped out of Glazer's adaptation of Under the Skin so he could make it a pure character study. I don't think that would work with Akira, at all.

Where did I say Snyder should do it? Mann is the perfect guy for visuals, but Ville is another good pick.

you cant do akira as a 2 or 3 hours film. otomo himself tried and failed at it.

yeah all youre even doing anymore in hollywood is ruining legacies. nothing is holy to you and all you put out nowadays is disgusting

michael mann is like 80 years old and mostly deaf by now. is that really who you want to direct cyberpunk biker sci-fi?

Stop making remakes and translations for retards.

Zach got fuckin lucky with Watchmen and is below Shamalan level any other flick

isnt it already in the making by some POC really long bearded young guy?
or i recall some other anime-remake?

>all youre even doing
the fuck you talking to? do you seriously think the people who post on tv are hollywood executives and directors?

Pointless thread. After 2049 flopping, a good version of this won't happen. If we get one at all, it will be similar to Ghost in the Shell - a studio film with a no-name director. Keep dreaming

I hope he makes George Washington larger than life. Kevin Durand is the proper age. 6'6" he would tower over lobsterback bastards. Give me a film that's gloriously stylized so much where the soyboys screech about it being pro-American propaganda.

>Irreversible

Holy fuck that movie was excruciatingly pretentious.

implying it could to DGG's version

It works like this people will associate akira with the shitty live-action film made about it instead of the original animated movie which is a fucking visual masterpiece and no animated film has yet to surpass it and probably never will.

Point to me a successful movie adaption of an anime?

He also wanted to make an Ayn Rand flick

>Point to me a successful movie adaption of an anime?

hah this looks kinda cool

Have any of you watched akira and looked at the fucking setting? Its impossible to do without it being a cgi shitfest.

who cares what plebs associate it with? as user said, grow some skin

why make the fucking film then if its going to be shit and people are going to be like thats a shit film?

the only thing the akira movie has going for it is the animation. why would you make a live action remake.

pleb who never read the manga and doesn't realise how hard it was to adapt the manga to an animated film

snyder is literally the only person who could pull it off

Tokyo didn't get bombed. You might as well set it in New York.

Snyder's got the capacity to make it look great in live action. I'd rather he do something else though.

>Snyder's
are you saying he's considering doing this

No I haven't heard him talk about anything scifi. If he were to touch the genre he'd probably opt for something more violent like Rogue Trooper.

I'm not making it you autist. if you don't like it, ignore it. it doesn't affect you in any way. grow some skin

he mentioned Snyder because the OP mentioned Snyder, obviously

I'm not saying your making it what i'm saying is its going to be fucking bad you retard
