Quick, stupid question...
Where was Shotaro referenced as part of Kaneda's name?

**6souls** · 2014-02-16 22:44

**Waraji** · 2014-02-17 11:06

nope, Nope.

Inb4 another Watchmen style ending butchering of the Monster from the original material.

**Cantih** · 2014-05-09 23:50

Hollywood Studios:
fuckups

Nerds:

**Zetanio** · 2014-05-10 00:58

Still terrible. People need to fucking leave this alone.

**Waraji** · 2014-05-10 13:21

By God They're Right. We wouldn't want him to become another Acura.

**Delirium** · 2014-05-10 15:47

That is just some fan made thing.

**Indalecia** · 2014-05-10 19:51

Yeah, saw it a few days ago, almost posted but realized it was fan made.

Would still suck.

**Cantih** · 2014-05-10 19:55

That's... why i said

Hollywood Studios:
fuckups

Nerds:

Because it wasn't made... by the studios.

**Zetanio** · 2014-05-10 20:59

It's still bad. It would a LOT for me to like any Akira-related live action shit though. It just doesn't work.

**Waraji** · 2014-05-11 01:07

Would be another Watchmen. We all know what scene I'm talking about.

Spoiler: show

**mallister** · 2015-06-08 23:19

You know, an actual Netflix 12-ish eps series based on the manga would've potential but this Hollywood remake of the movie needs to die and stay dead.

**Elcura** · 2015-06-09 06:12

If you did Akira based on the manga it would basically be some epic saga that 12 episodes wouldn't do justice. Best just to leave it alone. Hell the movie of Akira didn't even do justice to the manga and it's one of the best movies around.

Sucks to be you, Akira.

We've now heard from a source close to Warner Bros. that the studio is planning to make a trilogy of films based on Akira - all the better to do justice to Otomo's sprawling dystopian sci-fi yarn, perhaps.

Most intriguingly of all, we're told that Christopher Nolan has met with a previously attached filmmaker (who we can't name here) within the past three months to talk about the project.

We're also told that Collet-Serra is no longer involved with Akira, which chimes with a story by The Hollywood Reporter back in June.

It was recently announced, of course, that Nolan's next film is out in July 2017. As ever, it's a project shrouded in secrecy. Could that film be Akira? It's a far-fetched notion, perhaps, but its positioning as a summer film certainly suggests that Nolan has something major in store, and a big-budget adaptation of Akira could fit that bill. And while Nolan has the kind of industry clout to make just about anything he wants, his prior relationship with Warner - and his history with Leonardo DiCaprio on Inception - might add weight to the Akira theory.

**Tyrath** · 2015-09-14 18:28

Because one wasn't enough.

**Fhloston** · 2015-09-15 02:34

Akira with Inception BWAAAAAAHs. Bring in Hans Zimmer and I'm sold.

If they spread the plot of the 12 manga chapters across a Nolan Trilogy, count me in.

But it's Hollywood so they won't. It'll take place in New York, star Leo, be about nuclear testing or aliens or fracking, and the tail lights on the motorcycles won't do that cool streaky thing.

**Gryffes** · 2015-09-15 03:55

I'm pretty sure we'll get streaky tail lights.
A trilogy could be super great. Tetsuo leading the clowns would be epic as fuck and you could flesh out a lot of the story that was missing in the film.

Downsides - all the names get changed. Akira is now Alan, Tetsuo is now Tim, Kaneda is now Kane.
