a friend of mine mentioned that a live action film based on the 80s japanimation is in the works. after hearing hearing this, i looked it up, and found this out to be legit, at least, as legit as rumors can be.

thoughts?

If they just try to recreate

If they just try to recreate the animated movie in live action, it'll be interesting to see how they handle some of the graphic situations. It could either be epic or awful, the way I see it. :P

Didn't the american live action project get canceled 2-3 years ago? That's quite a while ago but I'm pretty sure I read that back then.

Or if this is a japanese live action, nvm.
Whichever case applies now, I most likely won't bother. Don't want to see one of my first favorite anime movies getting destroyed 1:

Edit: iirc they wanted to cast keanu reeves as the prot ;A;

shit.

also, keanu reeves in anything but the matrix isnt worth watching in my opinion. hes neo in EVERYTHING. hardball; neo teaches black kids to baseball. devils advocate: neo appears in judge judy. constantine: neo with a crossbow and orange blood.

could be worse. can YOU imagine ben affleck as kaneda?

But since it's jacob, he probably meant this babe:

"Ben Affleck as Kaneda"
Eugh, stop ruining my good/weird/traumatizing childhood with Akira ;A;

pedo tendencies aside, as i stated, it can always be much, much worse.

that being said, if this live action came to fruition, i would be fairly excited to see it. my expectations would be rather low, but on the off chance its worthwhile, itd be a pretty sweet flick

dude, the only historical babes worth noting are marilyn monroe, and carol channing; i would lean more to the prior of the two. anything involving keanu reeves is about as historical as hellboy and the golden army (awesome movie btw, del toros da man yo!)
