J.J. Abrams and Paramount Pictures are developing a live-action remake of the hit anime movie Your Name. Wonder what it’ll be like? On Twitter in Japan, people are already predicting just that.
Let’s have a look!

It will probably have big Hollywood stars.

A bit more action.

Certain Japanese culture specific things will have to be replaced. Instead of kuchikamizake, how about Jack Daniels?
My name is Max.

The characters will need English names, like “Max.”

More special effects.
JJエイブラムス(が監督する訳ではないと思うけど)プロデュースの「君の名は。」、心配しなくても元からレンズフレアが見受けられるんでこの10倍くらい光るぞ。格好良い景色の時はすぐ光るぞ pic.twitter.com/o5V0SgIQ0s

And more lens flares.

Instead of “aho” (あほ) or “idiot,” stronger language might appear.

The plot will be reworked. How about a generous use of the words “fuck” and “fucking” and some American flag waving at the end?

It could always take inspiration from Face/Off if the original anime isn’t exciting enough or needs a shoot-out.

It will probably get a different style movie poster.

Another movie poster option.

This tweet is from this summer, but it’s a good reminder of how Hollywood could add in “Danger Zone.” That song is great.

Or, perhaps, the movie poster could be something like this.
