If you've been in the "anti" crowd with regards to the status of Hollywood's live-action adaptation of Akira, you may have reason to celebrate. Keanu Reeves has reportedly passed on playing the role of Kaneda, making him the third prospective lead (after Brad Pitt and Ryan Gosling) to drop the project.
And there's more bad news for the "pro" faction, as Warner Brothers has dissolved the "previsualization" department assigned to developing Akira as a franchise. While WB has yet to formally confirm that the film has been axed, it's still a pretty heavy blow.

Well based on that article that ukit posted the live action film will most definitely be shite. Director Jaume Collet-Serra... the director of 'House of Wax', 'Unknown' and 'Orphan'.
Three absolutely shity fucking films. And he's talking about the characters in Akira not being strong? Fucking hell.
- In House of Wax, it took me 40 minutes to realize Paris Hilton wasn't a wax dummy.ETM

Is there a fourth poster in that series that says "DORK" ?

Akira should never be made as a live action.
