I have some knowledge of the source material. They seem to be capturing the look of the manga in a ripped from the pages type look. Rodriguez is a capable film maker. I think him and Cameron can deliver a fantastic anime sci fi adaptation. Which is more then can be said of Ghost in the Shell. I will check this out.
Wow... I hope it does very well.
I want these type of films to be successful and create competition for soul-less crap like Star Whores and Mahvel.
it wont
I wouldn't be surprised if Black Panther came close to a billion either
i doubt normies will care and people will be reminded of blade runner and ghost in the shell so i cant see it
Mmmm... offtopic but...
I could never understand what's so great about Akira... to the point that people are afraid of a Hollywood adaptation.
Manga is cool but half-trashy. Anime is cool but too artisy for something so basic.

It's supposed to be deep but just seemed like another Japanese cartoon to me. Like Ghost in the Shell, I've seen all it had to offer in other movies.
Valerian ------- unlikable leads, cgi fest, French stench.
BR2049 ------- arthouse with overblown budget, DOA.
GITS ---------- hot mess that wanted to be something it couldn't, thus no one was interested.
Gods of Egypt - I dunno why would you even bring this **** up.
Sin City 2 ----- didn't watch, don't know, don't care.
WarCraft ------ solid movie, great success in Asia.
...
Mad about what? BR? What the hell...
...
People got creeped out because people are dumb.
It's 100% the same as 3D cartoons they watch every year.
And it's the only "bad" thing that people talk about.
No one will care when it's released.

You guys just like, don't GET IT man....it's like...wayyyy too cerebral and beyond your capabilities, you know?
Just stick to safe Hollywood garbage cause AKIRA is just too much for you, obviously.
For real though, there's a number of reasons it's held in such high regard. The production values have still never been matched in Japan for a hand drawn animated film. Plus there's the fact that it was really the first "true" anime movie imported to real theaters in America in 1990, and at the time, we'd just never seen anything remotely like it. I begged my dad to take me to the art theater to see it the one weekend it was showing. No one under 13 was allowed. I was 12 but he lied and got me in. It blew my mind.
It's my favorite of all time and even I'll admit that there's not a lot of plot or characterization; it's mostly just action. The cynical/nihilistic worldview may be off putting too. To a first time viewer, a lot of the visuals are unpleasant or even grotesque, but it's just so damn beautifully rendered. It's just a masterpiece. It showed the world what Japanaese cartoons were the same way Citizen Kane showed how movies could be done. I understand it's not for everybody, but it will always be my favorite animated film.
No, not really
