Warner Brothers set to make new Akira
BootsyMarie:
Uhm. I don't know how I feel about this one. Akira is so fucking good. I think Warner Brothers could only total it.
Plus, I think with America's simple-minded society, it would be dumbed down, and then people who have never seen the original movie, or read the mangas would be less appreciative.
On the other hand...How bad-ass would a well-done live-action Akira movie be?!

De_El:
Oh they've already done that. It's just that the extent of the ruin is revealed slowly.
Calaveth:
This can't end well.
New Manhattan? WTF over?
KharBevNor:
Possible upsides:
1) two films would allow them an adaptation of the manga plot that actually makes sense.
2) splosions
Definite downsides:
1) To make an adaptation of the manga plot that makes sense would require masses of metaphysical meanderings about the nature of time, consciousness, entropy etc. that they won't include.
2) The morphing effects will look shit. Can you imagine seeing someone turn into a giant mutant cyber-baby via CGI? Yeah, precisely.
3) They will hire Linkin Park to do the soundtrack.
4) It will suck.
