Can't say I have high hopes considering they apparently cast Leonardo di Caprio in the role of Kanada.
- leonardo di caprio is actually pretty good. Come on you have to be happy its not will smith– Meeklo1/2
  No, he's really not that good :|– NONEIS2/2

I think Leo will be fine, I worry about Joseph Gordon-Levitt. I love and own the anime... I worry this will be trash, but I really hope not.
- Joseph is actually a great actor too.– Jaline

I don't mind Leo in some films...but it's a bit unconvincing that they couldn't find a single Asian guy to fill that role. I mean, the story takes place in Tokyo FFS!
- Click on jaylarson's link. Try "New Manhatten"– locustsloth1/4
  Nmaes will probably be changed too. My guesses:
  Kanada = Keith
  Tetsuo = Teddy (Theodore)– locustsloth2/4
  what...that makes no sense...considering it's still called "Akira." FAIL!– ukit3/4
  agreed. but if it is taken as a stand-alone product, maybe it won't be so bad– jaylarson4/4

turning akira into a live action film sounds like a recipe for disaster. americanizing it alone is enough to fuck it up. but if it must be done, i think samuel l. jackson would make a good colonel shikishima
- You can really find a role for him in pretty much every film– ukit1/3
  true– armsbottomer2/3

I think Americanizing it is a recipe for FAIL. Half the appeal of the original were the awesome depictions of a future Japan.
It's also an insult to Americans to think they couldn't wrap their heads around a film with Asian actors. Lame.

Hollywood doesn't care what you think. they never did..
They just want you in line, dressed as one of the characters while you wait to give them $8 to watch in the the theaters.
The same machine that is trasnforming about 2.5 comic book characters into movies per year, is running out of superheros, it's time to exploit anime.
- $8?? Where are you going? It's more like $12 and up!– duckofrubber

apart from the race-thing, isn´t kanedas crew supposed to be a gang of 15 year-olds?
- Well, Leo does look 15, so that part won't be a problem– ukit1/2

This is Ruairi's oscar winning short. Groundbreaking it ain't, but it's clever, and it's made with love and artistry, at the time by a guy in his bedroom, with no resources. I'd rather he get the chance to pour his heart and soul into it than give it to Bruckheimer or the like. Good luck Ruairi.
- Souless character design, wouldn't look out of place on an insurance advert– modern1/4
  white environment is the biggest lazy copout in 3D– modern2/4
  for it's time this was pretty good.– ornj3/4
  although he didn't win for it just got a nomination.

Fuck off Hollywood seriously, couldn't care less when they remake films that were already terrible (Pulse FFS, terrible film why even bother) but to go and remake classics that can't possibly be given the care they deserve like Akira and I hear an Evangelion remake is on the cards with that smug cunt harry potter girl.
And fuck off Americans for not being able to understand anything without American actors being all American in it, just look at those fucking war films where they replaced actual real people with history with pissing Americans
- I agree. its total shit.
  Evangelion can never be made to live film... well not with the standards we have today. people wouldn't get it.– sofakingzero1/2
  wouldn't get it– sofakingzero2/2
