There is going to be a live-action movie of Akira by Warner Bros. in 2021, which is going to be produced by Leonardo DiCaprio. I never watched the animated film for Akira, but my parents have Akira's manga series, and I read them in my childhood. I saw this news on Twitter last week, and I have mixed feelings about it.
First, I'm glad the movie won't be made in Japan because it will be in low-quality for sure(in my opinion). However, I don't think the atmosphere can be illustrated in a live-action movie as it does in the manga. Also, English translation of the quotes that each character says may have a different nuance from what they are actually saying in Japanese.
I think it could've been better if they just made another animated movie for the manga, not a live-action one. I don't know why the entertainers keep on making live-action movies for the mangas and animes when people are telling them not to.
I might still watch the film when it comes out, though.
