Don’t Point The Tank There.

Can you smell that? That’s the smell of freedom my friends! Trust me, it is. And that smell can only mean that we’ve got some video footage of a set that was used by America…Captain America! You may check it out below this text.

I rarely ever get excited about these camera-phone videos of unused sets and this is no exception. Sure, it’s cool that there’s a Sherman tank and stuff, but those are all things I expected to see anyway. That must have been a pretty awful USO show if the soldiers decided to point their tank at the stage afterward or during. I think they needed more Bob Hope, God rest his soul.

According to the upstanding citizens over at Bloody Disgusting, the proposed live-action trashing of the anime AKIRA has been put on ice. The film was going to be directed by Ruairi Robinson, whoever that is, but he dropped out for reasons unknown…mysterious!

If you’ve never seen the original, it was about a biker gang in Neo Tokyo who get mixed up with some government group that is experimenting on people so that the experimented can turn on them and blow them up using mind powers. The remake was going to change the locale to New Manhattan, but retardedly keep all the main characters names Japanese. The death of this film can only be seen as a good thing…unless you hate freedom.
