I wish The Hughes Brothers would stop bullshytting and direct more classic movies.

Hughes Brothers
John Singleton
Spike Lee
Robert Townsend
Rusty Cundieff
Mario Van Peebles
Bill Duke

Directing and writing....Makes you appreciate the late 80s n 90's so much more. We was eating. Hopefully we get some more good stuff out of Peele with black cinema also. Get the financial backing, and some dope ideas/inspiration from the OG's to put something down so cats can really eat again.

Gotta add

F.Gary Gray
Matty Rich
Franc Reyes
Rick Famuyiwa

There's a lot more politics in the film biz now than back in our era, because now the box office returns speak before you even finish the script/treatment

Menace II Society/Dead Presidents culmination: 90s Kid

i couldn't even imagine a live action version of akira. the budget required would be astronomical I'd imagine

I think it was Albert who was going to make it. He'd spent like 7-8 years trying to get it done and they were really close to production but I think they had issues with the budget.




WB was trying to get it done for like $50 million and Hughes wanted $100 millie

Nah. Warners was trying to give him 90-100 million. I think he believed like many (he needed 150 million). Regardless a few directors have dropped off Akira. It's a hard project to get done.

They been done.
