Not live action. I mean an animated remaster/remake keeping in all the violence and demonic fukkery.

I wish they didn't bother. Completely unncessary, the original is perfect already.

Look at what they did with GITS. Trash.

Ninja Scroll needs that treatment too.

Might be my favourite Anime

WB mentioned ETHNICITY being a reason...

 

[jay211]

They were casting Asian Actors as the leads, it seems they haven't found the leads that studio and director can agree on, yet.

Waititi has several project percolating, including Akira, a movie that was on a fast track at Warner Bros, but has been shelved. The project had been on the rocks for weeks, with word in town that it is a difficult film to cast ethnically at its high budget, in this moment of political correctness

Nah, seems like WB is questioning casting Asian actors in an expensive ass movie.

WB trying to figure out how big the backlash would be if they just cast a bunch of white people.

 

[Red Shield]

Yea.. they ain't trying to have an all asian cast for this.

Doubt this movie ever gets made
