c'mon, joel, there is a big difference between America remaking every asian movie they can get their hands on with American actors, white or black, and recreating a an American icon just for the hell of it. people were complaining when they went for a black Kingpin in Daredevil, (it didnt matter in the end because the film sucked anyway). people complain because ti doesnt mean anything other than the film company doing something crazy just for the sake of being crazy, the Kingpin being black didnt add anything to that role whatsoever. they only float the idea out there about the whole Cap and will smith thing because they think Will smith is gold, not because he particularly fits the role. just like that Edwin A. Salt film, they only considered making it a female part for only ONE actress, Angelina, and why....$$$$, thats it. |

HMMM...A "WHITE" AKIRA?
I'm the 10th comment.
Apparently, there isn't too much opposition to a white American remake of Japanese Akira.
Yet have a black actor "remake" a white superhero character...(Uh, huh...white fanboys are ready set burning crosses on lawns)...
If they do indeed remake the film, why not just change the names? Or use the same premise?
It doesn't make any sense. Too, why not use Japanese (or Japanese-American) actors?
I'm sure they're going to use Asian actresses...(They usually don't have any problem doing that)... |

i am not completely totally overwhelmingly opposed to an American remake of the film (just slightly, marginally, more than average kinda opposed) but i just cant and probably will never get behind making the main characters anything other than juvenile delinquent kids with hardly any formal education forming motorcycle gangs that find themselves in some serious shit. i understand that in Asian cinema, they have absolutely no qualms about putting children and grotesque violence together in a film, and by contrast, Hollywood has many problems with it, but kinda like a Battle Royale, the characters in this film are driven by hatred they have for a government that has forgotten about its youth and has cast them as a undesirable part of society. no matter how good DiCaprio and Levitt are, they cant get that across, mainly because ...they aren't kids!! |

this is completely unnecessary and stupid.
if they cast Japanese people of the appropriate age and somehow managed to invent some CGI that doesn't completely overwhelm everything else, it might work.
but as it stands now - suck. |

YEAH THAT MAKES SENSE
So now Kaneda is really 33 years old...yeah, that would improve the story SO much. He could be out riding with the boys after a long day at the office selling insurance to help pay his mortgage and alimony for his second marriage...yeah, that's the ticket! So then he bought the big red motorcycle as one of those mid-life crisis things, right? It can be just like Chevy Chase in Nat'l Lampoon's Vacation! Awesome, I'm so there! |

Okay so when it does come up for you, Levitt...do it. Or I agree with Hunglowman, let Ben Foster have it.
It indeed was a great rumor, and even though the movie might be hard to translate to the big screen I think with the right person it can be done. |

I wish levitt was in this. but he is easily replaced... Ben Foster anyone? Better yet... actual ASIAN PEOPLE.
and lets not get all misty over the first film, aside from having the most badass opening ever, an awesome epic battle at the end and a few super interesting scenes the original also suffered from too much talking, needless boring points and many fast forward-worthy moments.
this is one time where i think the American limited attention span could actually make Akira as great as it is supposed to be. |

WHY ARE THEY DOING THIS?
How could they possibly do the original film justice???
The only stuff I could see them getting right are the motorcycle gang scenes. Those could be fucking awesome.
Everything else? A CGI crapfest. An Akira remake would be nothing but an embarrassment.. |
