| According to Bloody-Disgusting.com, the live action movie of "Akira" was suffered a setback. Although the reason for the standstill of the project has not been revealed, they confirmed the news with two sources. Warner Bros. Pictures had been producing the film with Leonardo Dicaprio's movie production company Appian Way. Bloody-Disgusting.com reported that the director Ruairi Robinson has already quit the team.

| damn..out of money or they cant make it good enough. |
| I hope this keeps up. I don't want to see Hollywood take advantage of beloved anime franchises like they have done with remakes and comic book movies. |
| Good. The longer it takes to make the film the better. Stupid Hollywood studios making films for no good reason. They all want a slice of the anime pie. |
 |
| If it was bad = Fine |

| I am glad, Akira stunk in the first place and Neo-Mahattan sounded awful. Still Ninja Scrolls sounds decent. |
| My anime list |
| Yus. Great news. Death to all these Live Action Movies. Wanna make a good anime bad? Just make a Live Action Movie of it. Goddammit Hollywood! Cut the crap! |
| hopefully this is not just delaying the inevitable. I hate it when hollywood takes good anime and ruins it. |
| Y'know, Akira could honestly work in live action (I've had ideas on how to do work a live action version of the film for quite some time). DiCaprio's group was just going about it the wrong way. And I'll agree with Mitamaking, DiCaprio's Ninja Scroll does have a lot of promise, so we'll see how that works out. |

And yet, there have been good remakes and very good comic book movies despite Hollywood taking advantage of their popularity. I want there to be more live-action adaptations. Even if that means some of them are crap, I want them for those few good ones that will be made. |
| My first novel, Kardia has been published! Click here to read! |
| GOOD! i dont want hollywood to make live action of akira.. i rather keep it in anime and manga.. |

| Maybe they realized that making a live action 'representation' of Akira is still impossible even by today's standards. |

| God DOES exist. It took a shitload of money to make a few episodes of The Flash, imagine Akira. |
| Sweet news, maybe this franchise won't be sullied by hollywood after all. :D |
| well i would like to see a good live action movie of this but they seem to kill good animes when they make live action versions but the movie of blood the last vampire looks good |

| @RICEA42991: If you get the chance to watch, there is a J-Drama called AKIHABARA@DEEP in which is all about otaku and in some episode they show a replica of Kaneda's bike. Pretty cool looking :D. If a tv drama can make a replica, I hope Hollywood can realize that they can too. BTW, some of the live action anime adaptations are mediocre and blah. BUT there are some that are worth it. (Ie. Detroit Metal City.) It's just truly trial and error. AKIRA is something that Hollywood CAN do. Bikes chases, scientific research, giant blob Tetsuo. It's very doable. |

| Hell, the anime adaptation of AKIRA didn't cover everything in the manga and was a decent, not the best, but decent. This movie might be equally as decent as the anime version or slightly better or worse. It's silly to complain about something that hasn't even been fully created. |

I'd love to see more get made even if they're bad cause eventually we'll get some really great ones. |
| I don't mind live action adaptations. almost half the jdrama/movies are based off manga. But hollywood versions dont seem to be so bad either. If they pulled it off, i'd watch it. I mean, transformers was just awesome 8D. I haven't seen/read akira though. looks kinda boring imo. I'm sure hollywood would be able to make it awesome if they pulled it off :) |

| Yeah hope this "movie" never comes out... |
