Akira live action

Post by GamePlayer »

Oh dear...

Tetsuoooo!

From what little information about this live-action Akira that has been released so far, I'm definitely disappointed. I suppose there is the rare chance that I might like it, relocation and all. The Infernal Affairs/The Departed situation turned out beautifully in my opinion (though I will forever like the original Infernal Affairs better). But that took Scorsese to pull off, one of films greatest talents. This Akira film is working from the gutter now and it's gotta pull off a miracle at this point. I remain hopeful I'll be proven wrong.

There's an article about it on WP, but it's up for deletion, FWIW.

Probably, but it'll finally give me a reason to check out the original.
