It has been in development since 2014. :v:

I've never heard anyone say one good thing about that King Arthur movie. I thought the trailer looked pretty cool though, is it at least worth it for the visuals? That shot of Jude Law making his army kneel as he waves his hand over them has weirdly stuck with me.

It can't decide what it is. Arthur spends most of the movie as a street fighting cockney urchin character (which is cool since it's the part of the Arthur story that's usually skipped, his time before being crowned) and also leans on the idea that he'd be a good king because he understands the underclass. He's got connections through the city and specifically is good at conflic resolution by finding common ground. But also every resolution comes from him having magic royal blood and thus superpowers which allows him to win the Dark Souls boss fight final duel and also summon a giant snake to kill a smal army of henchmen.

It's pretty entertaining but there's a reason it was forgotten five minutes after it came out. It was less coherent than the gritty robin hood reboot that came out soon after.

Yeah, I enjoyed both of the movies that are in the Guy Ritchie King Arthur, but as you say they work at cross-purposes to each other.

If you're up for watching a movie because it's got some cool visuals and individual good scenes, even if it doesn't come together as a whole, I do think it's worth checking out.

Reportedly, Taika Waititi's Star Wars movie isn't cancelled, he just isn't going to start working on it until he finishes his live action Akira adaptation.

...Which might also be taken as his Star Wars movie will never happen.

The Akira movie is one of those things that's I think in its third decade of development hell. Leonardo DiCaprio is the one who was really pushing it for a long time through his production company (and I think used to want to play Kaneda years ago). I think at one point it almost got made by the writer and director of League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, too.

I can kind of see his style working for all of those... except Akira. That just really does not seem like a good fit at all.

I’m sure we’ll see it after Akira, and First Goal Wins, and We’re Wolves, and What We Do in the Shadows 2, Flash Gordon, The Incal, and his Time Bandits remake.

He hasn’t been involved in the WWDITS show (outside of his prerecorded cameos) since the first season. Same with Jemaine Clement after the second season.

Season 3 was a huge drop in quality and season 4 followed suit for as much of it as I could manage to watch. I'm definitely done with it unless I hear it completely reversed course. A shame, the first two seasons were the funniest thing I'd seen on TV in ages.

Season 4 started very weak imo and I almost bailed but also has some genuine bangers as it goes on.

Akira has to be a TV show to work.

And animated.

And done by the same folks who did the original Ghost in the machine

And time travel us all to the 90s

It would be nice to get a full adaptation of Akira since the anime movie is a very truncated version.

There was some talk that Otomo was working with Sunrise to make a TV adaptation that would cover all of the manga. But that was back in 2019, I have no clue what’s going on with it currently.

Also, I'm bewildered that nobody has ever gone "Hey, Wacky Races exists as a thing with name recognition, so why don't we just do... Wacky Races?"
