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.
Yet Gary Oldman started in Red Riding Hood too. So.....................................

For Akira (the movie) to be good... you don't need anything connected to Hiroshima.
Not only can I 'see' the differences, I outlined the many reasons outside of the thematic core of the film why Akira won't work, none of which any of you guys have responded to.
Additionally, my general point was, why 'remake' something if the entire point of the work no longer carries any resonance whatsoever?
