I don't know if there's even a script out there yet. It's hard to know what the eventual film will be like.

But the characters are still supposed to be Japanese. Or so I heard. Neo-Manhattan was rebuilt with japanese money or something.

"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.
