The plot sounds terrific and Oldman.. Hedlund seems to have potential, Stewart can be decent.. but I am not sure they have the right director for this project.

This film has absolutely no reason to be made.

The film's about the cultural and societal fallout Japan suffered after Hiroshima. It has next to no relevance to the U.S. audiences in a broad way, and moving the film to New York spits in the face of the entire freaking point of the movie. It's in very bad taste.

Moreover, considering where the film goes, unless massive strides of the narrative change drastically, it simply won't translate to live action well. I'm talking primarily about the third act. Not to mention fr the action to be done anything close to correctly, it'd need a budget well over a hundred million dollars.

It's just going to piss on the legacy of the original masterpiece.

Gary Oldman would disagree.

you mean that's what the Anime is about. This film will be about something that is relevant to our country and our society.

Well that's kind of obvious.
