Akira

[bash]

I've just read Sketcz' interview with the makers of the Amiga version of Akira!

Excellent ending!

:O

Mark my words, the live action adaption will be WROSE . . . . . even more than my spelling!

Severe budget cuts have brought production to a halt

If they've halved the budget, is Kaneda's bike now a unicycle?

[monel]

Nope, they're gonna use a skateboard.

Severe budget cuts have brought production to a halt

And I for one couldn't be happier.

Actor Toby Kebbell gives a nicely refreshingly frank chat about meeting the studio to appear in the film and why he turned it down.

Ha! At last, someone with some taste and decency in Hollywood.

This guy sums it up nicely LOLOLOL

"First, they have "The Mexican" with Brad Pitt, now they have "The Last Samurai" with Tom Cruise. Well, I've written a film, maybe they'll produce my film. The Last Ni**a on Earth, starring Tom Hanks. How about that?"

The original Akira had a recent cinema run.

You can see it on 7th Aug (2013) in Cambridge:

I heard about that, there was a showing in London too. I dont think I need a cinema showing since I got the blu ray a couple of years back. Its an unbelievable transfer, esp the sound!

Was thinking the exact same bash. The Blu-Ray is friggin superb, I don't think going to a cinema would enhance it for me.

I'd like to go one day where there's loads of other Manga/anime freaks/enthusiasts in the audience. That was my dream in the mid 90's when I was too young lol

[wakka]

But then it's just full of fat girls with Pikachu tshirts that I don't want to be associated with...

Fans make their own live action trailer:

Man alive, that is superb!

I'm really impressed by that, bravo!
