The movie is out in US...So ???????? GUYS I WANNA KNOW lol

it was Fuckin Awesome. i thought they would change things and make it different, but they followed the story close. the only thing was krillin wasnt in it, but who cares really,lol

he's not so bad. like i said it was good. not like the day the earth stood still. how they completely changed almost everything especially the ending. i would rather they have him play goku than someone else.

yea and did you hear whose writing the screen play for it?

Leonardo Dicaprio because hes been a fan of Akira for years.
I veto this and i might stamp fail on it

If that was not enough now they want to do a Cowboy Bebop live action with Keanu Reeves as Spike. I veto that as well they just keep rolling them out and im pretty sure they will destroy both of these stories

Akira is just too hard to make into a live action movie. Cowboy Bebop can be done but only with the right cast special effects are no problem. Keanu Reeves just doesnt cut it for me. The only good things Watanabe is actually working with everyone on the set of the movie so his input will do a world of good.

Your wrong. Dicaprio will be one of the producers. Some other guy (can't remember his name) is the screenwritter


Do you know better actor who would be more suitable to be Spike then Reeves?

Oh thank god the last thing i read said he was, but then again i don't know how i feel about him being one of the producers either. They have a hard job ahead of them Akira is a difficult story to portray fully and properly. Hell most people didn't even get all of it from watching the anime. Good luck to them we are still a long ways off though they have time to get it right and lots and lots of money too.






I have actually been thinking about that for weeks now and have not found someone suitable yet. But in all essence of the word Spike is a bad ass and Reeves can not pull that off. He couldn't do it in the Matrix and he failed to do it Constantine. Even in his most bad ass of scenes he was not able to draw it out fully. Plus I dont like his acting all that much i dont think he is suitable for the role. No offense to him or anything but also he is getting older and its showing i dont feel it would work the whole characterization that is Spike would be lost. Just my imo but i dont like it and a shit load of others on the net feel the same.

There is a great discussion going on over at animesuki about it.

I heard there will be a sequel for the story..
I wonder when will the next movie come out..
