TETSUOOOOOOOO
« on: March 22, 2011, 05:24:00 AM »

I didn't even know a live action Akira was in the works, but the idea that it could potentially star Robert Pattinson as Tetsuo and Justin Timberlake as Kaneda is nothing short of spectacular

Western adaptation of Japanese work has always been laughable. Look at Dragonball and The Last Airbender for examples.

Yeah, that shit was animated in the KO-REALZ yo.

EDIT:

Wait, didn't they farm some of the animation to a Japanese firm?

EDIT EDIT:

Well, I can't find anything about a japanese firm doing any of their animating. But Mako's in it, so I guess that counts.

I'm actually really dang optimistic about the american Akira movie, against all common sense. Granted, unless this thing has a reeeetarded budget, I can't quite see them capturing the setting that made Akira as fascinating as it was, but if nothing else there's a far better story here in the source material than they had with Book of Eli.

BREAKING HEADLINE:

GROSSLY OVER-BUDGETED FILM WITH LAUGHABLE DIALOGUE, EXTENSIVE PRODUCT PLACEMENT, AND ENDING THAT GOES NOWHERE BEING REMADE BY HOLLYWOOD
PEOPLE SOMEHOW EXPECT FILM TO BE DIFFERENT FROM SOURCE MATERIAL

Will there at least be fewer fourteen-year-old girls getting beaten, molested and inevitably getting crushed to death in the American version?

I was disappointed the other day to find out that Netflix doesn't let you sort movies by the category "Has nudity in it".

And so it begins, fans are speaking out against the new Akira film as whitewashing

I, however, am a bit more skeptical of this one than when Last Airbender was being adapted. For one, that one was clearly set in an Asian, Inuit inspired world, and white people were taking the main roles as members of various ethnic groups. For Akira, the entire setting is being moved to "Neo-Manhattan", so as far as I'm concerned, the race of characters are up for grabs. In the grand scheme, the fact that these characters are white is about on par with every lead character in every Hollywood film being white, especially films set in New York.

If American Akira is the same kind of movie as Dragonball Evolution then we, the movie-going public, have won.  That shit was hilarious.

Do you understand how terrifying the words “vibrating strap on” are for an asexual? That’s like saying “the holocaust” to a Jew.
