IIIIIII really don't think there was even 1 single genuine attempt because it always sounded like a stupid pitch obviously.

>>212077592 (OP)
YES... Hahaha... YES

>>212077592 (OP)
why don't they just make an anime sequel? the rest of the manga is great

>>212077592 (OP)
Great news.

>>212077721
someone should buy the rights and do a 1:1 adaption of the full manga as a tv show

>>212077592 (OP)

The inexplicable demand that this get remade has been going on for most of my life. What is even the appeal at this point?

>>212077592 (OP)
How fucking hard could it be to make this, it shouldn't even be that expensive.you could probably recoup half the cost by selling the bike once you're done if the movie is well received.

It's going to be picked up by Netflix

>>212077592 (OP)
yeezus is going to buy the rights just so nobody else can fuck it up, i'm calling it

>>212077858
Are anime studios even capable of that level of animation anymore?

>>212077592 (OP)
Warner Bros... what a mess

>>212079341
He’s the only person who could properly adapt it

Only south Koreans can do it. All others are cuked

>>212077592 (OP)

Reminder:
Warner Bros. Discovery has around $60 billion in debt — about $35 billion is long-term debt, and the rest is short-term debt and other liabilities.

The majority of their films are box office bombs. Fantastic Beasts and the DCEU failed. Joker 2 failed. As far as I know, only Barbie, Minecraft, and Sinners have made money recently.

DC and Fantastic Beasts failed as franchises,( but reboots are imminent. )The CW was sold for zero dollars.

Zaslav’s salary in 2022 was $39.3 million. In 2021, it was $246 million

>>212079411
Money laundering to sell studios to streaming Corp anyway

>>212079471
JFC before the recent flops they had 52-53b debt

>>212079471
how did warner get THIS fucking bad?

>>212079395
>Are anime studios even capable of that level of animation anymore?
They aren’t. They lost the technology. 2D cell animation is shaded a certain way that digital and 3DB animation can never replicate.

>>212077721
i read the rest of that manga. no it wasn't

>>212077858
In the style of 'The Office' but animated.

>>212079649
making bad movies, tv shows, and games

>>212077592 (OP)
Netflix are just gonna grab it and make Anigga

>>212079411
How do I get a bullshit job like this?

>>212079810
mba degree + luck

>>212079649
In my humble opinion , low salaries for people that come up with ideas and high salaries for shite actors.

>>212079772
And they’ll make the Esper children a metaphor for immigration or class inequality

>>212079411
My country paid McKinsey a billion dollars to advise them to do...nothing. I don't understand how this scam works.

Does this mean we will finally get the Akira anime that was announced way back?

making a decent akira live-action movie is probably harder than making a decent dragon ball live-action movie

>>212079971
what country?

>>212079993
It would turn out the same way the John Carter movie did, even if it's good it's been so influential that it feels derivative and genereic

Why can’t they just get the director and creator of the original to just make the live action version?

>>212079471
How do we get someone to Luigi Zaslav?

>>212077592 (OP)
I look forward to the news now of an upcoming A24 Akira that will be even worse.

Warner just gave up billions of dollars.

>>212079395
>>212079702
well, it's probably technically possible if they have a hollywood blockbuster level budget since there are still lots of skilled and active animators.
it's just not gonna happen.

>>212079649
Jews

because it worked so well last time anyone tried remaking a beloved anime classic

>>212080337
That movie was good.

Just watch Terminator 2 again

I'm just glad that Watiti didn't get to make the adaptation, he'd have thrown a stupid quip into every tense moment. Why are so many modern directors afraid of making a movie that takes itself seriously?

>>212077592 (OP)
Wasn't this faggot also tapped for The Incal adaptation?
I wonder where's this one going?

>>212079411
lmao brainded board if they allow bullshit like this in their company, unless it's some kind of embezzlement scheme which is very possible too

>akira
>snow crash
>neuromancer
>hyperion
>neon genesis evangelion

all of these have been in development hell for decades lmao

>>212080337
Animation is just a better medium for certain things.

Floating Museum is playing in my head right now. Kenji Kawai, you are a genius.

It wasnt awfull, but it just didnt have the magic that the original had and that's what happens when you try to recreate lightning in a bottle.

>do nothing
Sounds like great advice, if someone could persuade the US government to stop supporting Israel for only a billion dollars I'd suck his dick

>>212079993
If it was up to me I'd make a small, origonal story set in the same universe. Like a PI or a journalist trying to uncover the truth.

>>212081569
then you'd get a million soulless autists whinging about it not being a real adaptation and tetsuo is too tall

What I want to know is how McKinsey has such incredible power that it is literally the puppeteer of all multinational companies.

>>212079712
yeah, the movie is basically the real version of Akira because the director of the movie was the author of the manga and he directed the movie before he had finished the manga and the manga basically ended the same way the movie did but the movie cut out a bunch of the unimportant back-and forth winding plot in the middle.

>>212077858
There were plans to do this a few years ago

spoiler: a new universe is created at the end
it's kind of like a spoiler for real life

>>212077592 (OP)
THANK FUCKING GOD HOLY SHIT
he's still sitting on The Incal though, what a piece of shit
he just keeps taking on more projects and never doing them
Jodorowsky gonna die long before Taika officially drops out

Akira was great animation at the time but it's a retarded, wandering pointless gay story. Some acid trips don't need to become movies.

>>212079411
There's definitely nothing wrong with capitalism btw

>>212082433
Capitalism is awful and is leading us to ruin, that doesn't mean communism or whatever other variety of socialism that the left wants to push is a valid solution. Both capitalism and socialism are stuck in the paradigm of Enlightenment humanism, and we will remain alienated and powerless under either.

>>212079712
i read the rest of that manga. yes it was

The guy who made Alien Romulus could do it

And I hope it stays dead. Still mad about GiTS and Bebop.

>>212077592 (OP)
This shit is garbage, only remembered for being ground breaking at the time, there are million better animations and movies nowadays

>>212077592 (OP)
Different companies have been trying and failing to make a live action adaptation since the early 90s.

Never trust a Japanese person with blonde hair. The frosted nip is among the foremost expert in the ancient art of Kamikaze.

Who cares. It's just a shitty Jap ripoff of Carrie anyway.

>>212082111
>he's still sitting on The Incal though
I didn't even know he was planning that. Christ, can you even imagine how bad a movie adaptation of The Incal made by Taika fucking Waititi would be

>>212077592 (OP)
its like 1000 shitty news and only a good one, holy shit, but this is a really good one

What was up with the babies and the cosmic mcguffin at the end?

>>212079411
Its some weird tax dodging/debts not paying/salaries evading/shadow accounting/jewish lawyering scheme.
The goal is not to pay money.
Also McKinsey is not getting millions, its on paper.

>>212077721
The original anime, while good, is a Frankenstein of the manga. The lady on the bridge is crucial to the plot and isn't some crazy cultist like the movie shows her as.
>>212079712

>>212081076
When have trannys been into necromancer?
>>212081966
But the in between plot is great. Cut out the entire GTE plotline, the other psychics, the Special Forces, etc.

>>212085420
it's ridiculous but Jodorowsky apparently chose him himself, maybe out of desperation? and the announcement is embarrassing.
https://youtu.be/1DkxB75CNvA

>>212077721
Otomo is currently making a full adaptation of the manga, but it's been a couple years radio silence since the announcement and there's another series from him we're waiting on too.

It's not. It's just WB being helpless.

>>212079411
To be fair, the Warner Bros.-Discovery tie up would probably have worked better if they hadn't gotten stuck in regulatory hell.

>>212080240

No one tell him

Akira is my favorite anime character. I'd love him to come back for a sequel

If only we practiced it.

Idgi, how could no one manage to get the movie out of development hell? It would be so incredibly simple.

good. no waititi slop

>>212077592 (OP)
Disney or Amazon will buy it and make Akira black.
