Waching daily Jul 2 2017

Not even Scarlett Johansson in a skin-tight bodysuit could stop the bad reviews haunting

the 2017 live-action remake of Ghost in the Shell.

While the film should should serve as a reminder that adapting anime for the silver screen

isn't as straightforward as one would think, studios are still determined to keep trying.

A number of U.S. studios have anime adaptations in production right now, so strap on your

cat ears, pop open some Pocky, and check out these anime properties that have upcoming

live-action remakes.

Death Note

Based on the manga series of the same name, the original animated adaptation of Death

Note won an award for Best TV Anime in 2007.

A decade later, there are high hopes for the American remake.

Adam Wingard, director of the horror-thriller The Guest, has said that he's enjoyed the

freedom that comes with releasing his live-action version of Death Note through Netflix, suggesting

that their lack of a rating system means he's been able to incorporate all the madness of

the original.

The film, which is due to debut in August 2017, stars Nat Wolff as Light Turner, with

Willem Dafoe providing the voice of his demon companion Ryuk.

Which, honestly, isn't too far off.

​Alita: Battle Angel

Produced by James Cameron, Alita: Battle Angel is an adaptation of a '90s cyberpunk classic.

The Terminator director was first introduced to the manga series by Hellboy and Pacific

Rim director Guillermo del Toro — who, knowing Cameron's body of work, thought he'd be interested

in it.

Laeta Kalogridis was brought on board to pen the script, and her personal knowledge of

the property helped bring the remake to life.

Directed by Robert Rodriguez and on course for a July 2018 release, Alita: Battle Angel

stars Maze Runner's Rosa Salazar as Alita, a cyborg who's been recovered from a scrap

heap by a cybernetics professor played by Christoph Waltz.

Michelle Rodriguez and Jennifer Connelly round out the supporting cast.

​Akira

The Hollywood adaptation of Katsuhiro Otomo's Akira has been in development hell for so

long that it's almost become a thing of legend.

But recent stirrings about the hunt for a new director have raised eyebrows again.

News of a remake first broke in 2002, but a mixture of script, casting and budget issues

set it back over the next decade, and it seemed to have finally been called off in 2012, with

Warner Bros axing it as part of studio cutbacks.

Rumors that the studio was finally ready to take things forward with Akira began popping

up again in 2016 when Justin Lin was set to direct, though more recent rumors place Jordan

Peele at the top of WB's wishlist.

So, has Akira been rescued from development hell?

TIme will tell.

Tiger and Bunny

Originally a one-shot published in 2011, Tiger and Bunny went on to be serialized as a manga

and then adapted into an anime series — all within the space of a year.

Producer/director Ron Howard was first attached to a live-action version in late 2015, when

it was announced that his Imagine Entertainment would join forces with Bandai Namco Pictures.

The story takes place in Stern Bild City, where people known as NEXTs have started developing

superpowers.

Given Hollywood's obsession with superhero properties, Tiger and Bunny could potentially

do big things, but Howard and Namco know that's a delicate job.

Screenwriter Ellen Shanman was given the task, who Howard called the "perfect match to adapt

this wildly popular story for new audiences."

​Fullmetal Alchemist

Unlike many upcoming anime adaptations, Warner Bros.' Fullmetal Alchemist live-action remake

is being shot with a Japanese cast, using Japanese language — which is a little unusual,

considering the story's set in the fictional country of Amestris, which is loosely based

on 19th century Europe.

Director Fumihiko Sori explained,

"I want to create a style that follows the original manga as much as possible.

The cast is entirely Japanese, but the cultural background is Europe.

However, it's a style that doesn't represent a specific race or country.

There will never be a scene in which a character says something that would identify him/her

as Japanese."

Japanese fans are reportedly fearing the worst for Fullmetal Alchemist, which was rated the

second-best anime of all time on My Anime List.

The film is due out in December 2017, and based on what's been revealed so far, it'll

closely follow the plot of the original manga.

​Voltron

Despite Netflix beating Hollywood to the punch in 2016 with their critically acclaimed, animated

reboot series Voltron: Legendary Defender, a live-action feature-length remake of the

classic '80s show is still being developed.

Voltron was the brainchild of the late Peter Keefe, who licensed the giant-robot-based

Japanese shows "Beast King Go-Lion" and "Armored Fleet Dairugger XV."

Keefe's team spliced them together into a brand new show with overdubbed English dialogue,

creating new stories in the process.

DreamWorks acquired the rights to a live-action Voltron film years ago, but when Universal

bought out the studio toward the end of 2016, the project ended up in temporary limbo.

More recently, Universal announced that they still intended to make Voltron, with David

Hayter of X-Men and Watchmen fame on board to pen the screenplay.

Still no word on who'll form the head, though.

​Robotech

Another US anime made from existing Japanese shows, Robotech combines Macross, Southern

Cross and Mospeada into a brand new universe for American audiences.

Director James Wan is a fan, and his knowledge of the series' origins should serve him well

in the adaptation's creation.

The film suffered a setback when rights holders Harmony Gold disagreed with how Warner Bros.

were handling the property and decided to shack up with Sony instead.

There are no official production dates or cast to announce yet, but we do know Sony

ordered a page one rewrite of the script.

So, how close will this skew to the original?

Harmony Gold's Animation president Tommy Yune said that we should expect something new,

saying,

"It's a clean slate.

It may share commonality in that it is based on the original series, however, the writers

are taking a different approach to it."

Attack on Titan

The beautifully brutal manga Attack on Titan had a whopping 66 million copies in circulation

as of April 2017, and that will only rise if Warner Bros. can bring their planned live-action

English language adaptation to the big screen.

The story takes place in a world where humanity lives in a huge walled-off city, which is

their last defense against the Titans, grotesque, man-eating giants.

Attack on Titan has already been adapted into a two-part movie in Japan, and not completely

successfully.

Despite the earlier adaptation's setbacks, Warner Bros. intends to remake these two films

rather than adapt their own version directly from the original manga.

Deadline reports that Warner Bros is locked in negotiations over the remake rights, with

Harry Potter producer David Heyman lined up to take charge of the project.

If the studio fails to strike a deal, others will soon be lining up to make their own pitch

and a Hollywood remake of Attack on Titan seems like merely a matter of time.

Naruto

In 2016, respected manga magazine Shonen Jump revealed that a Hollywood remake of Naruto

was in the works under the guidance of Lionsgate Studios and director Michael Gracey.

In terms of source material, the original Naruto series consisted of 220 episodes, and

Naruto: Shippuden aired a whopping 500 installments, so the filmmakers certainly won't run short

on ideas should this film develop into a franchise.

And considering who's producing, Marvel Studios co-founder and former chief executive Avi

Arad, that's a very real possibility.

If anyone knows how to transition from print to the screen, it's him.

Wary of superhero fatigue among audiences, he went looking for a new angle.

According to his son and partner Ari, they're working on creating an "incredibly visual

and cool world."

Hopefully the two will have learned some valuable lessons after what happened with that other

big anime movie they produced, 2017's Ghost in the Shell...

10 Creative Ways To Make Your Small Bedroom Look Bigger

Sometimes a small bedroom can feel more like a cave than a cozy refuge.

If a space lacks natural light, smart storage and the right color palette.

Small bedrooms are uniquely difficult to design and decorate because of one essential piece of large furniture:

"The Bed"

However, just because you have a large bed in a small room,

that doesn't mean you have to sacrifice your sense of style

and, more importantly, sense of space.

By following some simple bedroom design rules and color schemes, you'll be amazed how quickly a room transforms.

If you're not blessed with a decent sized bedroom,

we've got a few tricks that will help make your shoebox bedroom feel like a spacious sanctuary.

We have put together a list of 10 simple answers to the timeless question:

How do you make a small bedroom look bigger?

From simple touch ups to complete bedroom redesigns,

watch our video to find solutions that work for your bedroom.

How To Paint Your Walls To Make Any Space Look Bigger

1. Paint your walls light colors

The reason this works is simply because lighter colors will reflect the light,

making it seem brighter and roomier.

Darker paint absorbs light, which will feel smaller and more constricting.

In this bedroom, the walls are painted a light, lively blue color, making this small room feel much larger.

When thinking about your bedroom design, try to stay away from dark colors.

2. Monochromatic Paint

Coordination is an important feature of any room design and the best place to start is with your paint.

Use monochromatic paint colors throughout the room to create fluidity and space.

Painting the room with different or opposite colors will segment off portions of the room when viewing,

making it feel smaller.

This small room uses shades of blue to coordinate the flow of color.

3. Use space-saving furniture

Not all small bedroom design ideas are optical illusions.

Obviously, the less furniture that you have in your bedroom, the bigger it will look.

A simple solution would be raising your bed with risers and then storing your clothes beneath.

You can also purchase beds with built in storage beneath, like the bed pictured here.

But, don't stop there, get creative with the rest of your small room design ideas.

Utilize folding desks and chairs and store them when you aren't using them.

4. Avoid excessive furniture

You don't always need two bedside tables, especially in a small room.

This tip is relatively simple on paper, but somewhat harder in practice.

It is always nice to have extra things to make your life easier, but if space is an issue,

less furniture will make your room seem much bigger.

By keeping the bed on the floor and using only one small table as the only piece of furniture,

this small bedroom looks much bigger.

5. Keep low to the ground

Stay away from tall chairs and tables in your small bedroom design,

and definitely get rid of the high headboard.

By keeping things low to the ground, you are creating more space above,

which keeps the wall cleaner and ceiling seem higher.

The bedroom pictured here has smaller ceiling,

but by keeping the bed on the ground, it makes the bedroom look and feel much bigger.

6. Built-in shelving around bedding

Building shelving around your bedding and recessing the bed a bit is a great small bedroom design idea.

The shelving doubles as bedside table,

saving space in that regard,

but by having the bed recessed, it creates an illusion of depth in the wall,

making the small room feel bigger.

7. Mirrors are the ultimate illusion

If you have a bare wall or door in your bedroom,

add some mirrors to make it look bigger.

Mirrors not only reflect light, but a cleverly angled mirror will also create depth or height.

Optimally, you would want your mirrors to go floor-to-ceiling.

The most common use of this would be mirrored closet doors,

but those aren't always part of every small bedroom design.

The mirror in the room pictured here is placed near the window,

giving an even wider sense of space for a small room.

8. Mount shelves

A simple way to keep things off of the floor and free up walking space is to mount shelves.
