"Akira" is too uniquely Japanese to be adapted in a western setting.

It's been decades that they've tried to make this movie.
Give up. It will never happen and even if it did, it would suck.

I guess we better hope the 1989 anime movie is part of TCM's Big Screen Classics series for 2021 along with Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and Dirty Harry (which both celebrate their 50th anniversary in 2021)

I can’t wait till I have kids and they’re old and can read rumors of an Akira movie themselves

I really can't see a scenario in which it would be anything but a total mess because really when you look past the impressive animation even the anime version is.

Speaking of anime movie live action remakes, wonder if the Your Name one is ever going to happen or what. Been completely silent since they announced it a couple of years ago.
Granted I really can't see a scenario in which it could ever be like a 30th as good as the original. Besides that the story wouldn't really work in the US anyway without heavy alterations, I also cannot see a studio being willing to let that movie take the wild twists and turns it does, to hide what it's really about in the advertising so that it has the proper weight to it, or to have a romance movie where the main characters barely have any screentime together.

Speaking of anime movie live action remakes ..... BATTLE OF THE PLANETS  yes yes i know there was one already but ..... that wasn't yes it's another one of my ideas  {Spoiler}
this was written in 2007 mind, and have added things to it since
SOSAI-X has started invading earth with his wondrous machines, commanded by a single cell from SOSAI-X called SOSAI-Z, rendering the earth forces ineffectual each time ..... and over time they get fed up of this, and devise a plan! to build a fleet of spacecraft, from new and radical technology devised from the scant technology gained from damaged alien ships. but as they are preparing to launch, they are attacked by a giant SCORPIONSHIP, captained by a young and confident ZOLTAN
only TWO ships escape and flee to safety (the prototype PHOENIX, crewed by MARK, JASON AND OLLIE) and a vehicle transport ship (crewed by JUNE and her little brother MICKEY, who is injured in the attack) ZOLTAN knows that any sort of defensive capability left on earth, would be dangerous to the incoming fleet!
as the search continues, the two ships find an old abandoned UNDERSEA base, and take residence. the two crews of the ships decide to combine both designs, and set about joining them together, while training up more with their fighting skills ..... including one which they team up and for a whirling pyramid ..... while JUNE nurses MICKEY back to health, using some of SOSAI-Z'S medical tech.
with help from redundant robots, they rebuilt and retrofit the two ships to form one ..... a sleeker version of the PHOENIX, but with added vehicle carrying capabilities! their first flight is not a success, as they are beaten back by the vicious SCORPIONSHIP, limping back to their base. but the SCORPIONSHIP follows them and begins destroying the base, the crew have only one option ..... to use the untested TRANSMUTE technology! in a devastating counterattack, the PHOENIX cripples the SCORPIONSHIP, and sends it to the bottom of the ocean!
surveying their wrecked base, they find a couple of surviving robots ..... and they have information on another smaller base, used as a backup! they go to it and set themselves up in it, while the SCORPIONSHIP manages to repair itself, ZOLTAN contacts SOSAI-Z about the base! with the PHOENIX ready and repaired, they decide to fight back ..... and hard! but head straight into SOSAI-Z'S incoming ships! the PHOENIX destroys the ships, while SOSAI-Z flees! the PHOENIX chases him into space, only to find the massive fleet approaching!
with utter determination, and wanting the attacks to end permanently, they attack the fleet! picking off ships left and right, actually landing on SOSAI-Z'S ship to capture him. they fight through the crew and soldiers, utilising all their fighting skills, and a few teams maneuvers (including the new improved pyramid whirlwind attack!) however when they get to SOSAI-Z, MICKEY acts funny, and actually attacks the PHOENIX'S crew!! SOSAI-Z gloats and blurts out that he is controlling MICKEY with the alien tech, that was used to heal him! JUNE goes nuts and kills SOSAI-Z, by destroying his blood supply that keeps him alive!
however, some ships get through to earth, but are surprised to find a new, and improved defense force called RED IMPULSE led by COLONEL KENTARO WASHIO ..... and they wipe out the invaders! they then turn to the rest of SOSAI-Z'S fleet, then there's one ship to deal with .....
the PHOENIX and RED IMPULSE head back to destroy the SCORPIONSHIP, and find it rampaging through japan, looking for RED IMPULSE'S base, and fight it! RED IMPULSE suffer heavy losses, and the crew of the PHOENIX decide to use the TRANSMUTE technology again, and flies straight for the SCORPIONSHIP! ZOLTAN also flies the SCORPIONSHIP straight at the PHOENIX as the TRANSMUTE tech kicks in, searing through the SCORPIONSHIP, and laying waste to it finally! and as the wreckage burns on the ground, the PHOENIX and RED IMPLUSE crews celebrate!
as the rebuilding gets underway, a new defense force is set up to defend from future attacks from SOSAI-X ..... or anyone else for that matter ..... headed by CHIEF ANDERSON, with DR BENJAMIN KEANE, DR FRANCINE AIKENS, PROFESSOR ANDRO ..... and from RED IMPULSE, COLONEL KENTARO WASHIO and his chief engineer KANO .....
and also an adviser to CHIEF ANDERSON, by the name of MALA KATSE .....
and that'll be $200 million dollars thank you! but yeah, adapting AKIRA might very well be the most difficult one to "westernise", might as well do ATTACK ON TITAN on a street in Rotherham  |
