Johnny_A -> What I wouldn't give... (15/7/2011 2:32:37 PM)

to have a look at the latest draft of the screenplay. This movie has been through hell already. My confidence is actually building up in the hopes that the live action flick won't ever be made. Any remake or reinterpretation can be done well, but the odds are STACKED against success. Too many issues with money, money, and money. That's what it all boils down to.
I'm trying to envision what 90m would give Akira. If it's a duo of films like the original plan, then it better be 90m each and not for the whole. I believe most of the money would go into the climax of the film when Tetsuo begins losing control of his own body. The scene in which Tetsuo is in that weird machine being tested for evidence of the Power. That would cost a lil penny. Also, any psychic displays, especially when Tetsuo finally breaks out of the hospital and the events leading to the climax. But I'm thinking of the anime version. The manga version, Tetsuo isn't so alpha even after acquiring his powers. SPOILER ALERT!!!! The scene in which Tetsuo punches a hole in the moon would be great to see. That would certainly be an eye catcher. Also Tetsuo taking down SOL. That would be cool to see.
Anyway.
If there are two films, then the first could be done for 90m easily because of the development of the story and characters. Probably end the 1st movie with the crash of Tetsuo and Takashi and the former taken into custody by the Colonel. A good hook to start the film should be the same as the anime. The biker gangs fighting on the streets of Neo Tokyo.
Anyhow, that's just my 2 cents. Consider myself paid.
