Black Hole!!!
Kick ass!!!!!!!
But uh, couldn't they at least let Charles Burns write his own script? Neil Gaiman? Lame.
live action akira? this is going to suck ass so bad.
Are they going to do the ending with a Weird Al "Fat"-style inflatable suit or something?
Especially when you consider how much the original Akira sucked. Man, that is the worst fucking score. Fuck.
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Fuuck!
what the fuck?? a live action version of akira??? why do we americans have to fuck up Japanese masterpieces like Speed Racer?? Akira should be left untouched. I hope he has a couple of Japanese directors there to help him stay towards the original storyline and element.
Agreed, Gaiman is Wrongman for Black Hole. What, is Clowes booked?
Don't geek.
It's unseemly.
i know charles burns' wife. they are an amazing family.
Charles Burns will be doing a reading at the UW bookstore next Tuesday. So show up fi you want to assault him with movie questions.
Gaiman's pretty experienced with screenwriting, I believe. He adapted the English dub for Spirited Away at least, and probably had a big hand in the tv series Neverwhere. That's not to say that Burns isn't experienced, since I have no idea. But perhaps they nabbed Gaiman because he's more experienced with adaptation.
The news about Black Hole made me damn near cum in my pants.
Hey! SPEEDRACER looks hilarious - I will be standing in line.
Otherwise... meh.
Japanese fans already built a working version of Kaneda's bike from Akira:

keep akira animated but i'd like to see a frame by frame redering from the comic realised as 5 or 6 films each two hours long
too bad gaiman's movies almost universally suck. I didn't know he'd adapted the Spirited Away script, though, which gives some hope.
Um.
I'm sorry, after seeing Akira (animated) and the original source ... well, it's not a good choice for live action.
There are a lot of other things I'd rather see translated - and Black Hole isn't one of them.
Don't get me wrong, I love the medium, but ...
and I too am SO THERE for Speedracer ... good casting!
Oooh, Neil Gaiman project. I'm not familiar with Black Hole, though (although I have seen Akira).
When Leonardo DiCaprio puts his fuzzy willie in Akira, that makes me a sad panda.
