Fan recreates Akira in live-action using AI

My name is Rafael Alves, known as Shinzo. I created the AnimeNew website in 2009 to offer news about anime, manga, and games directly from Japan.

A fan-made project has once again stirred up social media and reignited the debate about Akira film a live-action. The profile Pierrick Chevallier, on X (formerly Twitter), published a concept trailer made with Artificial Intelligence, directly inspired by the 1988 classic.

The video recreates iconic scenes from Katsuhiro Otomo, imagining what a modern Hollywood adaptation would look like. Furthermore, the material features Tom Holland as Kaneda and Timothée Chalamet as Tetsuo, which quickly caught the attention of fans.

Meanwhile, cyberpunk 's Neo-Tokyo emerges with a high level of visual detail. In this way, the trailer reinforces the potential of AI to create realistic concepts, even without official studio involvement. However, the video makes it clear that this is merely a creative experiment, with no connection to a real film in production.
