JOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHNNNNNNNNNNYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!! hmm yeah doesnt work, especially with DiBoy in the lead role, sorry man, but unless he really learned how to act in the last 5 years, and I mean REALLY act, then he doesnt fit the role. And why the EFF move the story to Manhatten?!?! The whole point of the story based on Japanese historical experience of a nuclear attack... I really hope the writers wont base the idea after 9/11 The translation of Kaneda to engrish…

I think the "Americans need things localized so they can understand it" argument that film makers use when remaking a popular film/series can be shelved away at this time. Manga and anime are at least known well enough by the public that people could FATHOM that an earth-shattering event might take place somewhere other than America and that people other than Americans would be directly involved with it. Jeez, moving Godzilla to New York worked out, right, right? I'm going to assume that Yamashiro Shoji's compositions have already been axed. On another note... I suppose DiCaprio could be one of the Espers, haha. What the heck.

Do the morons behind this expect the anime-loving community not to revolt against this abomination outright? Here's to hoping that this whole thing falls by the wayside....just because these hollywood morons can't come up with any original ideas doesn't mean that they need to ruin those things that were perfect in their original incarnations and should therefore remain untouched.

And if he is going to be starring in Akira, then I really can't see a problem with that. However, I don't think he'll be pullnig any leads in this one. If the story is going to have one little shred of the source material in it, it'll have Kaneda and his gang as schoolkids, and he'll obviously be playing the role of someone older (The resistance guys, perhaps?) Either way, I'm holding off judgement 'til more news comes to light. I don’t fault DiCaprio as an actor, in all seriousness.

DiCaprio has become a great actor. He really has... I hated to admit it but he's good now. He also however does not fit any of the younger characters in Akira and making this New Manhattan? A part of me may have just died on the inside.

But Leonardo Di Caprio? Why??? I have to say that he truely has become a better actor and is not the douchebag anymore from movies like "Titanic" but he absolutely doesn't fit the action - star he would like to be I presume. Ok, there are very few real new action stars in the teenaged Hollywood (and AKIRA from the movies IS very young) but still..........................................................................................................Di Caprio?

The part were his body swells up looked pretty bad even in the anime. The live version will probably be painfully bad to watch. We were talking about this on another board I go to.
