There was a time when everyone wanted the guy who directed Thor to do Akira.
>>156133522He sounds mad. Why is he mad if everyone supposedly loved his movie?
>>156133554He's insecure.
>>156133522Kenneth Branagh's Akira sounds great though.
>>156133522>has to adapt some faggy book so he can pay his bills>just 78% RT>OMG IM A REAL KINO MASTER
>>156133522He was also attached to direct an adaption of The Incal
>>156133786More like The InCEL
>>156133882Gotem
Someone else wanted to direct Akira as well, but I'd rarher not bring his name up in light of recent events..
>>156133522No-one ever wanted that even when he was liked
>>156133522>There was a time when everyone wanted the guy who directed Thor to do Akira.I don't think even the people that were fans of him wanted him to do that, his directing style doesn't fit Akira whatsoever.
>>156133522Even after Ragnarok, there wasn't a single soul besides optimistic people that never watched Akira that would have wanted that.
>>156133522>everyoneNo way. Most don't even want live action Akira to begin with
>>156133522Akira directed by Kenneth Branagh would be pretty interesting.
>>156133522Akira already exists though.
>>156133522I wanted David Lynch to do Domu: A Child's Dream
>>156136195Did fit Thor either. Yet Hollywood and brainless consumers wouldn't shut up about him being an auteer genius. That is until Love and Thunder really showed you what a talentless hack he really is.
>>156133522If they were to do a life action Akira, they should get the dune guy to do it.I have a hard time imagining it ever happening though, I imagine GitS and Alita bombing killed the big budget live action western anime adaptation.
>>156136195Coming here to post, I don't care what revisionism angle OP is trying to push, nobody wanted Akira from the director of Thor Ragnarok, way before he was the director of Thor Love and Thunder
