Fan Film: Akira Project



The Akira Project has released a full five minute trailer for their amazing-looking Akira fan film, and it's going to blow your mind.  I've been following this project since I first heard about it, and it's come a long way.  The results look incredible, better than anything Hollywood plans on doing with the property.  Clearly, a great deal of time and love went into developing this video, and I hope that it pays off for them, because this is exactly what Akira's most hardcore fans want from a live-action movie.
"The Akira Project is a crowd-sourced, non-profit project meant to create a live action fan trailer of AKIRA, the renowned manga-turned-anime film from the late 1980′s; a stunning example of both mediums as art forms. While Hollywood has been working on a live-action Akira movie for a few years now, we, as fans, wanted to take a shot at making our own adaptation. A chance to stick as close to the source material as possible. A chance to do Akira Justice."
