Jordan Peele to direct Akira

>>81116547

why would he be black, because the director is? That's silly.

Akira is incredibly beautiful from an artistic standpoint but as a film it's really boring. Same with Jin-Roh. I love the films and the part at the end with the sewers in Jin-Roh pretty much makes the entire film worth it, but they are really fucking slow.

people often note the exact opposite, how akiras narrative is incredibly condensed and cite that has a problem. I don't think I've ever heard anyone call it boring before mate.

Time to free myself from anime now, before its gets (more) raped like comic shit.

Will all the crazy liberals complain about him casting black actors instead of Asian ones for the roles, or will that cause some kind of paradox in their minds causing a mental breakdown?

>>81116647
You must not have talked to many people if you haven't heard that. Pretty much every normie I've discussed films with has had that complaint, and I can see why. I still enjoy Akira and think it's good but rewatching it seems to just drag on to me.

>>81116684
asians are less privileged than whites (so GitS wasnt okay) but they're more privileged than blacks so its okay for blacks to take roles from them

>>81116684
Look at Death Note. Rage that Light is white, Silence that L is black.

>>81116729
lol I didn't know L is black in it. I'd still be mad about that, however, most people only know of the white-washing because the trailer mostly highlights the white main character and most people probably stopped watching the trailer before they even show black L.

>Asians are less privileged than whites.
u wot?
Asians are 5% of the population and hold far more income than whites. They score higher on their SATs and are far more likely to go to university and become successful financially. The Vietnamese alone own 70% of the nail salons in the state of California and don't even have to work there themselves, though they often do anyway. They're above and beyond more likely to live in a one-percenter area like San Fransisco and fill out doctor and engineer quotas at a much higher rate than anyone but Jewish people.

Asians are astoundingly more privileged. They're more likely to work in an educated field, not Hollywood.

Spirited Away has the advantage of having an actual plot that makes sense. Akira is just the opening act of a very long manga with the end of that manga taped on to the end without any of the actual story.

Tetsuo doesn't even rape girls until their heads explode in the film

The real question is will they cast asian actors? They make the excuse for Major being a robot in GitS, but Akira is japanese as fuck and difficult to adapt to the west. I doubt the movie would make sense if they decided to change the setting to Chicago or some shit.

None of that is really specific to japan

>>81120806
The midnight club motorcycle gangs, huge pieces of the plot.
Death note was adapted because the only strictly japanese elements were the name "kira", and misa's popoularity as a rising idol ,which weren't as substantial as the motobikuus in Akira.

>>81120918
yeah in the west motorcyclists are associated with being upstanding citizens amirite

>>81116547
I don't think it could be adapted well but Black Akira could actually work.

Black Americans are in a transition state right now where they are reconciling being true to their roots vs adapting to the "white" world. Tetsuo's rage and anger could easily translate to the situation many young black men find themselves in America today.

The idea of a young black man, consumed by jealousy and anger, gaining the power to do something about but ultimately destroying himself in the end through that same power is poetic as hell and very relevant to our time.

That said I feel like Akira is more suited to anime and it would lose something in the translation to live action.

>>81121134
Who will he be cast as?
He'll get more than just a cameo.

>>81121402
>>81119900

He'll cast an Asian for the role. Especially after the Ghost in the Shell controversy.

Wrong. Spirited away is pure magic.

>>81121447
The TETSUO KANEDA are too influential for them to remove them, but they could pass it on with non-asian actors by saying that those are their last names and they're half jap.

Black people love Kung Fu (Wu-Tang Clan) and they tend to get into DBZ and Bleach coz of it.

It all started from the 70s and 80s when cheap Asian films like Enter The Dragon and Wu-Tang and Shaolin started playing in cheap theatres across black neighbourhoods, which led to Blaxploitation films like Black Belt Jones.

Why give a shit about hollywood anime adaptations when the source material is already great? Its like you guys are just looking for shit to be mad about.

I don't want anime films to become the new capeshit. I've already been through it once. Honestly, it's just frustrating to see people who mocked me growing up for liking comic books now all into the fad. I don't want the same to happen for anime. These companies squeeze every penny they can out of an established franchise which they don't give a shit about, and they don't even make the original fans the target audience.
My main gripe though is my first point about being annoyed that people who previously mocked and bullied me for liking anime and superheroes are now "super nerds lol"

You've got a lot to learn

>>81116547
Having a black cast in Neo-Detroit is better than an Asian cast in Neo-Tokyo. I don't think Peele will actually direct it, but if he does I bet he'd insist on the latter.

Studio's insistance would probably be based on the reception of GITS and Death Note.

>>81116583
He's going to make Kaneda black and Tetsuo white or Japanese. He'll make sure to portray Kaneda as cool af and all while Tetsuo is insecure.

Really thou, having Peele direct this after one fucking movie (that wasn't even scary as a horror but more comedic) is stupid. Hollywood needs to stop hiring because some young director had one successful picture. They feel he can carry that momentum to something bigger than himself and get them quadruple in returns of what Get Out got.

the japs wont let this go as easily as they did to motoko

the whole point that characters are japanese and the allusion that japan got nuked is pretty important in Akira.

...unless they make Akira blow up Neo-New-York's (lol) Neo World Trade Centre.

In which case Tetsuo needs to be a muslim and Akira is a test subject named Mohammed Al Kira.

If it was an Americanized version of Akira, then it would make sense to have the main characters be black. The characters belong in an inner-city gang so it would make perfect sense - I could see it being very much like Attack the Block.
