What ever happened to the Akira movie though?
Did it get released and I missed it?
Is it canned?

Yup! After the success of Pacific Rim in East Asia we are gonna see a lot more Asian theme movies.

Warner Bros.' attempts to produce a live-action movie based on Katsuhiro Otomo's classic cyberpunk anime film Akira has been ongoing for many years now, but after departing the director's chair in early 2012 when production stalled, Jaume Collet-Serra is returning to the fold and plans to go into production on the movie as early as Spring 2014.

If Leo Meo is playing ... this is all ready done and burned.

steven spielberg is making Ghost in the Shell. I already know that's a recipe for disaster. He's going to take a perfect piece of art and turn it into hollywood crap. If ghost in the shell was to be made into a film, then oshii, should've been the one to make it, like his movie Avalon.

fuck this remake. they're going to "dumb it down" for the general public in hopes to make that bottom line.

It'll probably stink, but I'll still watch it.
My life will go on.

Apparently, the director is adapting the live action off the MANGA, not the anime. So it's not a live action remake of a remake. So, at least we know his intentions are good, but whether or not he can pull it off... most likely not.
To any DiCaprio naysayers.. you're pathetic. The guy is a fucking brilliant actor. To anyone who says "Titanic", to you I say "10 Things I Hate About You".
To be honest, for an American version of Kaneda, DiCaprio is absolutely perfect, though about 10 years too old. Check out his movie This Boy's Life, and that age he'd be absolutely perfect.
- Too many absolutelies.kult
- I thought he was pretty good in Titanic, even. Good cast. He's a great actor, but I wouldn"t say "brilliant".Jaline
- yes, brilliant doesn't enter my mind when I think of DiCaprio, but good does.Point5
- :|kult
- Primarily because his voice is so distinct that it somehow makes me believe he is playing the same character.Jaline

Could work for tetsuo...

Jaline - you like Joseph Gordon-Levitt? He worries me 100 times more than Leo.
It's fine if the characters are not asian, I don't mind that. I just don't want stupid dialogue and some wierd love story that fails on all sides. If this isn't rated R to start, it's a fail.This isn't a Michael Bay film, right?

I blame Kanye West.

I like the cast, but even Joseph Gordon-Levitt is more "asian" than the rest of the people...

Stay away - please leave this film alone.
