Craig H Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT... At first, I just focused on Colin Firth and I wondered if it would be hologram Colin Firth or if he survived getting shot. Then I looked again and saw ELTON JOHN and CHANNING FUCKING TATUM and JEFF BRIDGES! IN THE SAME MOVIE! I'll be there opening weekend. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piranesi Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 See. I saw "Taron Eggerton" and thought for a second I thought it said "Taylor Negron" and almost flipped out. After that no number of gay icons were going to appease me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Warner Brothers is looking at Jordan Peele to helm the live action version of Akira. Get Out was fucking awesome and all, but Akira? That's a really different animal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I have a really good take on this live action US made Akira remake for Warner. It's really simple but I think it's truly brilliant: DON'T FUCKING DO IT 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bustronaut Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 How does Disney have an Untitled Fairy Tale movie coming out in 4 months? That seems preposterous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted March 31, 2017 Author Share Posted March 31, 2017 It appears that they don't anymore Disney released a list in 2015 that included the July 28 spot But this article - http://www.darkhorizons.com/disney-2017-slate-has-just-eight-films/ - says they had a release in January with all their 2017 releases on the July 28 wasn't on it Quote July 28th and December 22nd had previously been marked out for untitled live-action Disney fairytale films, but there’s no sign of them on the schedule and no hint of one being ready for those dates at present. The late December one could still be taken up at a later time though with “Episode VIII” the week before – the studio won’t really need to. Also Cars 3 is coming out on July 14 so I highly doubt they would release another Animated film two weeks later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted March 31, 2017 Author Share Posted March 31, 2017 And funnily enough - they just updated their release dates again today http://www.digitalspy.com/movies/feature/a824808/disney-movie-schedule-2017-2018-2019-star-wars-marvel-live-action-remake/?utm_source=fark&utm_medium=website&utm_content=link&ICID=ref_fark No July 28 spot... which might be why The Emoji Movie jumped into the animated void Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Oh ffs, they're doing a Toy Story 4? Wasn't it enough that they did the exact same story from part 2 and just called it part 3? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bustronaut Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Weird, I swear I saw a picture on twitter from Cinemacon that still had the 7/28 placeholder. Ah, here it is. It even has "Wreck-it Ralph 2" which I believe was just announced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's obviously smart and he should run, not walk, away from the carrot. Considering what the industry has done to other black directors, I highly doubt this is punishment at least in this case. IIRC WB is one of the few studios trying the whole diversity thing out by helping emerging directors. They're giving him another shot after the cat movie didn't work out that well so it's somewhat commendable. Plus, he might be one of the few people wanting to direct a live action Akira film. The number of black people they allow to direct big budget films is finite. I'm as skeptical as they come (especially on this forum), but I can't be mad if that's the project he wants to take. If this doesn't work out, he has smaller indie studios and Netflix or Amazon to fall back on who wouldn't have as many qualms about doing a moderately budgeted, socially relevant film.

Curt McGirt Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 I was being somewhat sarcastic in my remark but also serious. Nobody should direct Akira and Peele needs to make something original instead. There's no way this will go well. Peele has imagination for days but asking him to be at the helm of Akira is like asking him to be at the helm of the Titanic because no matter what comes out, it'll be shat upon from a great height by the fanboys. Yet at the same time, the opportunity... you can't blame him, certainly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuetsar Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 With Ghost in the Shell flopping(so far anyway) as bad as it did, I imagine Akira may not be such a hot project soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet at the same time, the opportunity... you can't blame him, certainly. The thing is the likelihood of his next film getting a ton of criticism is pretty high. You make one half decent film (and especially one that did well at the B.O.) and everyone expects you to replicate that success. To me, Get Out wasn't even that dangerous (the fact it didn't make white people run for the hills says that) so I can't really expect a studio to give him more money for something even edgier. There are films like that directed and/or produced by more notable names than Jordan Peele that didn't do that well. Shit, I thought the Drop Squad (produced by Spike Lee at the height of his powers) was more on the ball than Get Out in terms of race and like seven people saw that film back in the day. When you hit people hard with truth (especially with topics no one wants to touch), it shows in the box office numbers and the reviews. The fanboy criticism is going to suck, but the insane expectations that will arise after Get Out is only going to fuel the fire. I don't believe Peele is the modern day Oscar Micheaux since he's still the dude from Mad TV to me, but I think he has enough talent to make it back when he falters. He already did it once in less than a year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, if Ghost is regarded as a failure in the industry this might be Akira Attempt #3378937 that falls on its face. And I had no idea this existed and want to watch it now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
