If peele made that film hed never work in this town again after that flizzop.

It's a trap.

Exactly. Akira is gonna flop hard

Do I want to do pre-existing material, or do I want to do original content? At the end of the day, I want to do original stuff.”

Instead, Peele is currently developing Lovecraft Country, a new Horror TV project with producer J.J. Abrams for HBO. Based on a novel written by Matt Ruff,

Akira has been made anyway it was called Chronicle. Hollywood need to move on from this especially with Chinese cartoons flopping in the west.

 

[Anti-Anime]

Do it. All black cast. Make these chang wangs furious across the Pacific

Kaneda - Kendrick

Tetsuo - Terrence

That cast listed is looking

Half the actors are too old to play a group of teenagers

 

[PlayerNinety_Nine]

As far as actors and actresses, many names such as Keanu Reeves, James Franco, Garrett Hedlund, Robert Pattinson, James McAvoy, Andrew Garfield, Chris Pine, Michael Fassbender, Justin Timerlake, Joaquin Phoenix, Keira Knightley, Kristen Stewart, Ezra Miller, Alden Eherenreich, D.J. Cotrona, Logan Marshal Green, Toby Kebbell, Richard Madden, Rami Malek, Michael Pitt, Paul Dano, Alden Ehrenreich and Ken Watanabe (we’ll stop here) have all been considered for roles. Some have dropped out, others are still loosely attached.

All cacs to a man and woman. If they go ahead and make it, it deserves the exact same fate as 'Ghost In The Shell'

Thanks for reminding me about "ghost in the shell'

GOAT anime series tarnished forever

I don't want a love action akira

WB seem to think that the name "Akira" means something.

I'm surprised they haven't just made their own American rip off like how they and Nolan did with Inception which was Paprika but with a different name.

They seem hellbent on getting this out as "Akira".

 

[Sensitive Blake Griffin]

People might come at me but this nikka got lucky with Get Out and now he has been hyped up to an unbelievable degree. It kind of reminds me of the director that did Chronicles and how he got hyped up but never delivered.

Get out is far superior to chronicle. chronicle was good but nothing incredible or mind blowing. get out will most likely be considered a horror classic in retrospect.

 

[Uitomy]

Akiraa isn't a deep story that needs to have a big budget. What a mistake it will be making that a big budget film.

Film should never be made. No one gives a shyt about tokyo unless vin diesal is driving cars through that bytch

It would need an insane budget due to the environment it's set in alone

Akira is overrated to me and no director with sense should try to bring it to the silver screen unless he wants it to he the last movie he ever does in this town not called sharknado.

They'd be safer remaking fist of the North star under Legendary films starring a bunch of coc diesal Mma dudes.

Wow I should be working for a movie studio with these ideas.

 

[NobodyReally]

I do find it troubling that he's going to create a series based on the shyt Blacks had to go through during Jim Crow. Our elders always have to get put up on that Summer Jam screen. Notice how many shows or movies are not made about the Holocaust? It only referenced, and even then, they make the Nazis charismatically evil. Or they will make evil whites into Vampires or Zombies not natural in order to take the sting out of their evil.

There's literally a Holocaust movie made EVERY year. Every year.

 

[JahBuhLun]

There's literally a Holocaust movie made EVERY year. Every year.

Read the quote again, I said they only reference it. It's merely a backdrop to a bigger story. What you're probably thinking about are WW2 movies, which they make every year. But there has not been a movie made recently that depicts jews being gassed or burned in ovens or experimented on in some horrific way. If I'm wrong, feel free to provide examples.
