>>27925>In 2010, Wolfgang Petersen, a German director best known for Das Boot and The Neverending Story, said he was developing a live-action version of Paprika. He claimed that because an unnamed writer had already provided a script treatment, actually writing the script would "go very fast because the treatment is already very detailed. So I'm very excited about that. I would say it's on the fast track." The intended film would have been slightly more accessible for Western audiences - Petersen compared it to The Matrix in its scope.
>While live-action adaptations of anime aren't always good, it's still sad this movie never got a fair chance - and the reason why makes it even sadder. Apparently, the adaptation was canceled when Inception came out - fans speculate it was far too similar to what the live-action version would have been. Nolan is a fucking jew who shut down live action western remake of Paprika so normies wouldn't notice.
