I don’t know if you’ve heard about this, but OMG, this is exciting. The famous manga, Akira, is going to be made into a live action movie directed by Fabian Dubois! What you’re seeing is the teaser. If you’re a manga and anime enthusiast, then you’re quite aware of this post-apocalyptic masterpiece based around Tokyo after a nuclear blast, with a “hero” named Akira who has superhuman powers (telekinesis).
And to think that this is a fan-made project that seems to be beating the pants off of a big production WB movie that is in limbo due to an overblown budget. Independent, once again, proving that it has the chops to create some incredible pieces of work. Can’t wait to see where this project goes!
Keep tabs on this movie via their Facebook page. Thanks again, Vimeo, for showcasing independent filmmakers!
