AKIRA - The Movie
Maybe this is old news for some but I just discovered that Warner Bros is making a live action version of AKIRA. Stephen Norrington (Director); James Robinson, Stephen Norrington (Screenwriters); Jon Peters (Producer). Hmmm.....
I've also heard that Astro Boy is being developed into a film as well. Henson Pictures is behind it and there is a rumor that the may approach Tim Buton to direct. Last edited by Deaddevilman; 12-03-2003 at 04:38 AM. |

I never had any problems with remakes, but I fear the transition from animation to live action will harm these projects, especially in the case of Akira. who knows, maybe SFX and technology will be able to pull off what happens in Akira (Tetsuo's transformation.....CGI? oh boy), I'm not going to scream 'oh my god no! it sucks already' like remake haters, but I'm not sure it will be a successful transition. Seems like they are just going off the popularity of anime really, I heard a DBZ movie is going to be made as well

It was only a matter of time before Hollywood jumped on board. The Japanese have been turning Anime into live action, not very successfully, except in horror for years.

Heard about these a while ago... I guess it can't be much worse than the live-action Fist of the North Star

The only anime to live action movie I think I have seen was Guyver, and I guess it wasnt bad since its all just fighting and gore in the first place.
I heard a Devilman live action is being produced as well, which I'm excited about

The Crying Freeman live action was good IMO. I don't know about Akira though, I can see it being mindnumbingly dumbed down to be more "accessable" for American audiences.

I don't know if this counts but...
The Street Fighter film starring Scott Wolf and that suck ass from T2 is a fine film indeed.
