Once THAT exists then opinions can begin to be formed. I personally highly doubt this will live up to the movie. And it shouldn't be trying to. Doesn't mean it can't be good, still have soul, and still retain the same feel. But I won't bother forming an opinion until this thing actually exists soooo. Okay name one good anime adaptation Hollywood has done? oh right you can't, do you need to be kicked in the balls 10 times before you actually understand you're getting kicked in the balls? know how I know this movie gonna be bad, the sheer lack of interest in it, This was rumored to be happening YEARS a go it even had some really huge actors trying to push it along but that didn't even get it through. The only reason it got pushed though now was probably a script got shit out that they can make in a month and shove it out so it can make a little money. Lookit Lord of the Rings. It's a crappy adaption of the books but it's an absolutely brilliantly done movie that's going to stand the test of time. Huge difference, lord of the rings is a well know classic, most people probably knew of it or read it and it had some people attached to it who are proven to do good work and it was pretty obvious the Studio was actually really interested in making it and wasn't gonna force Peter Jackson to do some direct to video level bullshit. Sabinlerose said: I used Weabos for a clear example. If you're complaining because it's changed. You're a fucking weabo. no your using weaboo as an example of "WELL YOUR NOT RACIST LIKE ME! YOU MUST BE STUPID!" "IT NO BE JAPAN NO MORE IT NO GOOD INSTANT FAIL AKWAI NO DESU KITTY" If I was doing an adaptation about the the plight of black people in the inner city, and then changed all the black characters to white characters and changed the social cometary. The fucking NAACP would be busting down my door with lawsuits. but because you know I wanna see FUCKING ETHNIC PEOPLE IN ETHNIC ROLES, I'm some kinda of dirty Asian lover or some thing. I always loved this thought process If this movie was about fighting ethnic people the studio would move mountains to make sure those people are ethnic and demonized But if the heroes are ethnic fuck you better cast some white people. This movie hasn't even been produced yet. If you're going to judge it based on an assumption regardless of how much weight the assumption has in past experiences... You're a fool. Actually other way around skippy. If you got robbed every single time you walked down a specific dark alley, Do you keep telling your self "hurrr well I shouldn't avoid this dark alley because judging things on past experiences in bad!" Blindly saying "give it a chance" when you have no indication what so ever it will be even some what decent, when all evidence is pointing to other wise. You're a fool. You may be a right fool in the future but a fool non the less. And a weabo one too. So thats like double crappy. Nice sudo philosophy idiot, but the real fool is the one who chooses to ignore the Elephant in the room. |

scrotey said: "Katsuhiro Otomo, who wrote and directed the 1988 Japanese anime pic of the same name, will exec produce "Akira" " Well,that can only be a good sign, right? Anyway, it'll probably be bad in comparision etc, but I'll go watch it if it's in cinemas near me. Why not support it, so that better quality adaptions can be made in the future etc. Agreed on Zac Efron though :P that only means that he put money up for it. executive producers have little to no say on moviemaking decisions. they just toss out their money for a credit on the film. I don't know why people say that like its a good thing. |

| Fuck this. |
| Not that I've seen Akira, but any live-action adaptation based from the anime gets pulled off, it receives negativity around the anime fanbase. To me, I still can't see how they will pull it off anyway. [LOL'd @ the forum arguments in pages 2 & 3.] |

| The movie will be based on the manga not the anime.Just saying. |
| mmm...my expectations of anime-to-live movies are usually low. But I'd like to see photos of Kaneda's bike when they appear. |

| New Manhattan, lol. I hate america for forcefully localizing everything. Tards. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
StealthUnicycle said: Placing it in "New Manhattan" destroys most of the deep symbolism derived from the manga and original animated movie. It's a deep allusion to the collapse of normalcy in the lives of the survivors of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Way to turn something incredibly deep and beautiful into something shallow and boring. It wouldn't be the first time. Look at the Silent Hill movie. Based on a game in which people are pulled into the titular town and forced to confront their inner turmoil, it is changed into a save the princess horror story that barely resembles anything from the first game. |

bergil said: I don't think I can argue with that. While it did have some of the most unnecessary edits I've ever heard of, it does resemble its source material more than most game movies to date, and it doesn't do a horrible job at presenting the story.Damonashu said: StealthUnicycle said: Placing it in "New Manhattan" destroys most of the deep symbolism derived from the manga and original animated movie.

| This. Is. Stupid. Of course, stupid people will still go watch it. Like they did for Dragonball Evolution and Blood. Hollywood recently ran out of ideas that they have to steal from others and then transform it into their own??? Shame shame. Why bother to make a live action when you know it can never beat the anime version? Why am I so against it? Simple. When I watch a live action (yes, even Japanese movies/dramas) and it's not up to expectation (as expected always), I get pissed off because the live action not only spoilt the story itself, it also wasted a few irreplaceable hours of my life. |
