Tetsuro is played by Jaden Smith.

There was a rumor going around of Nolan wanting to remake Akira into a whole live action trilogy.
I am not kidding, google it.

Well there's 6 volumes. 2 volumes for each film.

I made that speed bike into a Chevy and all major characters are foreign exempt the bad guy who is white old man
>>79712904
I don't. No modern adaptation, western or otherwise, is going to top just how fucking beautiful that movie is.
>>79712904
I wouldn't
Straight adaption of the manga into 2 3-hour films thus begins the dawn of live-action anime-kino

part 1 ends with Akiras resurrection
part 2 is post apocalypse
Will Smith is the Colonel

yeah the manga is pretty long. the film is very cut down version of it.
>Set in Neo-LA
>Kaneda and Tetsuo are black or spics (avoids whitewashing claims)
>Follow the film closely, but introduce the George Yamada subplot
>Finale at the '84 Olympics stadium
>>79714110
all good except smith
>Kaneda is now a strong sassy (black?) female
>Tetsuo is a creepy rapey kinda white guy
>Military is full on white with Trump like president
>The gangs are just misunderstood
Boom! SJW masterpiece that nobody will watch because PC attitudes do not transcend into the real world.
