According to an article I found on Cinema Blend, steps toward a live-action adaptation of the 1980’s anime film, “Akira” are underway. As a sort of salutation to and a progenitor of this genre of “big brother,” scary corporate dystopian science fiction, “Akira” has been this staple of both remarkable aesthetics and substantial world-building. When I hear about live-action adaptations being made of anime, I never really know what to think, since it could be done well, or it could be done not so well; recently, after the last handful of live-action debacles, I’ve been opting to assume the later, since most live-action adaptions of anime films or series have been either poorly done, devastatingly whitewashed or both. However, since the director of “Thor: Ragnarok,” Taika Waititi, is supposed to be directing the live-action “Akira” film, I’ll try to hold back some reservations, since I do have faith that if he’s directing something, he’ll be conscious and respectful of the original subject matter, as he was with his take on his installment of the “Thor” cinematic canon.
