They are fucking with another great film. This time, they are making a 2 part, live action Akira movie. Directed and starring Leonardo Dicaprio. As Kaneda. Man, this is some fucked up news. Booooo
I sorta like the Akira anime, but a remake would be hardly fucking up a classic.
It's actually a fucking up of a fucking of a classic.
Now, if you told me that Marvel comics was going to be doing a retelling of the manga...
Seriously though, after reading about this, I really don't have much of a problem with it. The director is an unknown, but the screenwriter has written for Voyager and Futurama and... GEARS OF WAR!
The thing I like here though is the decision to make it in two parts. The anime basically showed the first three books of the series... and then tacked on the end of book 6. I really books four, five and six which take place in the devastated Neo-Tokyo. Read the manga, or the summary on wikipedia. It's my favorite part of the series, by far.
