Christopher Nolan's Rumored Next Project, Akira
- Nolan, I'd trust him to grasp the vibe of the manga and anime and make a good own film out of it.uan
- I'm sure he'd be a great producer, but in the end the final product would be European style.antimotion
- It would be nice to have the Hollywood money and produce via Japanese team, in Japan. But that won't happen because of casting purposes.antimotion
- ^ also, working in Japan with Japanese crews and rules especially is a nightmare for western teamsspl33nidoru
- Nolan is already quite good at ripping off anime.PhanLo

Wish there was higher quality video.
- it'd be amazing to see the whole movie just like this._niko
- I'd imagine there is tons of rotoscoping done here especially with the movement, the angles, the perspective etc_niko
- ^ I'd say not. just lots of work.shapesalad
- would love to see the whole movie like thisshapesalad

- It looks like it's just on a construction site outside wall, like a wild posting, and isn't a permanent installation?zarkonite
- Right, it's alongside the construction site of Parco, a series of malls in Shibuya, part of which is being renovated. The Akira campaign is official andspl33nidoru

- Saw this earlier, it's the same dude who did the GitS shelling scene thing a while back. That was cool, this is nice but totally redundant.face_melter
- A+ amazing, but yeah just an exercise in style. if a live action (please no) is ever made, hopefully it's by a team who are all about character - not vfx.inteliboy
- It would be really hard to get the characters right. Really enjoyed this though. Crazy he does so much of it in Cinema 4D.PhanLo

Between Ghost in the Shell and Akira, I feel that the latter shouldn't be made.
Akira's essence is structured around post war Japan after the atrocity of the atomic bombs being dropped and asiatic religious beliefs.
To rip those factors out of the original story and re-image it to flow into a European/Christian ideological system would literally diminish the original intent.
And then of course there's the fact that AKIRA is an epic masterpiece of art and expression.
On the other hand, GITS, while being a wonderful story and anime, was ahead of its time in regards to technology, robotics and theoretical data manipulation - could essentially be a standard action film.
Not to say I didn't slam my head into a brick wall when I heard that the most caucasian living actress in our known universe would be playing someone named Motoko didn't happen... But, the story itself, the essence of the story is more universal in my opinion.
So out of the two - I would say if one had to pull the trigger and make a film - GITS would be the lesser evil and AKIRA shouldn't be touched.
- GITS and Akira are also about fears, and the ghost in the shell network fear movies were released last year, I'd rather see a new war and weapons fear movie.uan
