"He's a VSFX guy who doesn't understand acting, and that really worries me." For a short film, with them little to really do, tell me how you came to the conclusion that he doesn't 'understand acting'? What you said is rather baseless don't you think?

Ruairi Robinson wouldn't have been a bad choice to do the new Terminator film either maybe. McG seems to be making a go of it though. The best filmakers might be the ones who know how to use their budget best perhaps, amibtious and he didn't over extend what he had here and made it look great. It's the same with T2 and Jurassic Park that that still outclass many CGI fests that look awful today by comparison. As long as the directors have taste it's an amazing tool.

Superb short. Reminded me a bit of Screamers, but that's no bad thing. Visually excellent, this man can nail Akira.

The Akira remake isn't being set in Japan. It's relocated to Neo Manhattan iirc.

OMG they need to give better funding to Akira to make it totally badass. Alotta firstimers (scriptwriters, director etc) working on a BADASS FILM LIKE AKIRA!!! Please dont fuck it up....

Slightly off-topic but if DiCaprio can render a "convincing" South African then he could be a good Japanese dude. I mean RDJ played a black dude in Tropic Thunder!

He may do a great job on Akira or not, but I can say that Warner is a company that doesn't really make good decisions. Look at their properties and what they've done with them. Only Batman has been handled correctly. This movie is flashy, but that's about it. He's a VSFX guy who doesn't understand acting, and that really worries me.
