The late Wolfgang Petersen previously tried to adapt Paprika into live-action. I hope this doesn't hurt Nolan's Oscar chances again.

The entire point of paprika is the great looking anime visual, turning it into LA will just make it into another 3D CG and marvel already makes a bunch of those.

Meiam: Plus, that last Spider-Man movie borrowed generously from Paprika.

This is pretty much what I was thinking. What I don't get is that there ARE animes out there that would transition nicely into western live action films *coughBlackLagooncough*
There seems to be this obsession with going after the harder to adapt properties

How can a serialised sci-fi novel published in 1993 have its entire point be "the great looking anime visual"? It's simply not possible.
The existing Paprika movie is not the original work. It's fine for someone else to adapt the novel. It's a Yasutaka Tsutsui novel after all, those things can get adapted again and again and again with no harm done.

If this is "inspired by" Paprika, then what was Inception?

The Satoshi Kon movie is a very loose adaptation of the novel, not the other way around.

Of course the producer of the Death Note movie and the director of Birds Of Prey are involved in this. It's not a Netflix adaptation, but those names don't inspire confidence.

Comparing Inception to Paprika gotta be one of the most exaggerated, overblown memes the internet has invented, because seriously, there aren't that much similarities between both properties beyond the core concept.

Sure, apparently every movie ever borrows something from Paprika

That's the same train of thought people use to compare Paprika with every movie under the sun. I'm not gonna pretend I knew Paprika was originally a book, but tother people and so-called "fans" are only about the shallow stuff and nothing else.

Not So Chosen One: I got cut off, but when I asked Nolan, he said he heard of it, and would like to see it, before doing a closed interview for something else the next year.

Not without Kon's eternal music. No one can compare with him, never. The Legend died.

So it was YOU who did this!
Jokes aside, I don't suppose the novel is available in English?

So is this going to be adapting the novel more faithfully or trying to do a live-action take on the anime?
Either way I don't see this outdoing the anime.

Not mainstream enough not to mention be careful what you ask for transition nicely doesn’t mean acted, written, casted, or directed properly.
