[TEASER] Twenty Years of Failed American Akiras

from Marvelous! Or, the Death of Cinema · host Nicole Veneto, Tyrell James, and Cole Netscape

As of 2025, Warner Brothers officially lost the rights to make a live action feature film adaptation of Akira, ending over 20 years of a development hell for something nobody wanted or asked for. But god, did they try. Nicole takes Stu on a deep dive through each and every painfully misguided iteration of what thankfully will never be.
