Jason Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 This would sound so fucking bad if it weren't Taika Waititi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser_Soze Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Will it be better than the Tim Burton one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I don't know why this would need to be a series, or why it needs to be done at all, but with Waititi at the helm that gives me more hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinIon Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Waititi is one a select group of people like Lord and Miller that manages to make things that should be bad pretty good. This doesn't seem like it has any reason to exist, but he certainly has the sensibility to make it work, if anyone can. Waititi is so good at directing children that I'm kinda disappointed that this isn't live action, but I'm guessing this is a side project for him. According to IMDB he directed a movie about the American Samoa soccer team called Next Goal Wins (with Elisabeth Moss, Michael Fassbender, and Armie Hammer) for Fox Searchlight, He directed the Pilot of a Time Bandits TV series for Apple TV, has announced he'll work on Flash Gordon, the follow up to What We Do in the Shadows, We're Wolves, and possibly a Star Wars movie. All this before he won an Oscar. I'd never have expected that Waititi would become such a hot property in Hollywood, but it couldn't happen to a better dude. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost_MH Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I'm still going to be sad that he isn't working on Akira. I think he could have had some real fun with an over the top live action adaptation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reputator Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I'm disappointed it's animated, but its Waitita. It's going to be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it wasn't for him I'd be laughing the idea out of the building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree - since the movie will inevitably happen I'd want a manga/anime fan like Waititi to do it who respects the material and can make it good. Not sure why he's delaying it even further for himself; last he said anything on the subject he said he'd likely do it but wasn't sure due to scheduling. But then he adds this?
