CineGround has been developing a trailer for a live action adaptation of Katsuhiro Otomo’s Akira. Like Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Akira shares a cyber-punk environment, and the team has used the game’s theme that was created by Michael McCann. The end result is amazing, so we strongly suggest watching this trailer that took a year and a half in order to be completed. Enjoy!

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2. John has also written a higher degree thesis on the “The Evolution of PC graphics cards.”

This is nicely done, Would be good if they relaunched a crowd funding for a full movie. Half-Life live action film got funded on kickstarter and I don’t see why this wouldn’t get funded now that more people are aware of kickstarter and indiegogo.
legal reasons. hollywood has a terrible akira movie in the works. at one point backed by leonardo cicaprio. about some american teens and scientists in new york or something. sounds shit. this is truer to source material but still sucks. americans should stay away from japanese things. stop butchering things america.
Yep I don’t have much faith in Warner Bros vision of the movie.
Still looks awful, better than what Hollywood has planned.
I wish Otomo would have done a better job on the movie and stuck closer with the comics then the jumbled mess the 1988 movie became 🙁
