first I hear akiras being made into a live action (why try and top a masterpiece?) then spielberg fancies making ghost in the shell, why can't they just leave well enough alone!
Is there really people out there who wont watch something unless its live action?
The un-cultured swines!

I love the original cartoon but it was plagued with technical errors like TFs wrongly coloured and TFs speaking when they werent supposed to even the animated movie had a cock-up in it (magnus putting the matrix in his chest twice)
all i meant was is a live action akira is SERIOUSLY going to have to go some to top the original. which I seriously doubt they will, I feel sorry for the fans if Speed Racer was anything to go off (which I've re named Lazy Town the movie)

*Wow it has been a while since I last posted here*
Anyway I always thought this was strange. Why when you already have a japanese live action why do you need to remake it with an american cast?
If they can improve or add a worth while spin on something then it will be cool, if they are just retelling the same story but with Shia Leboeuf (not that I dislike him) playing Light and some big breasted blonde as Misa then I really fail to see the point. |

Easy, to sell it to Americans, not just anime fans

I suppose but it means they have to change it and they hardly make a better job of it. Just imagine an american remake of Battle Royale or Hero, the horror  . |

Personally I agree, but people get scared of something foreign.

Yeah that is the sad truth of it all, if only movie companies had a little more guts and released foreign films more often then they wouldnt be so scary and new. IIRC Crouching Tiger got decent figures so there is hope. |
