Akira

So, Leonardo DiCaprio is producing the movie. Thoughts?

Just so were clear, he's talking about this announcement.
I'll reserve any speculation until I hear more about the casting, changes, style, etc. That said, I don't know about this 'New Manhattan' business.

Don't really care about the 'New Manhattan' business. Heck, they can westernize the name and I wouldn't care. Just as long as the story has the same impact.

i have this bad feeling something in the storyline will get left out. but, i will give it time until i see some trailer. then, we shall see.

...as likely as the Eva movie ever crawling out of production hell.

Huge necrobump, I know, but some news.
It's going to have a 2013 release, and... what the fuck, am I reading this right?

Justin Timberlake as Kaneda, Robert Pattison as Tetsuo? Bullshit. Just read the rest of that article, and see how bad this movie will turn out.

Yeah I know _ I was shaking my head reading it.

Im hoping that perhaps it can be pulled off and make a decent movie, but somehow I doubt that (*cough* DBE)

As long as it doesnt end up like this though

True Dat Ya'll = loled so hard

Deal breaker right there. Now I know that I'll never check it out. Thanks, Quadratic.

I love the fact hes wearing an American jacket yet hes called "Kaneda" (Canada) Lol~ :D

I have to agree, this movie will suck. even if it does get made

Of course, it's not set in stone yet, but those are some of the possibilities.

The actors and script could yet be good, but the director just kills it instantly.

No. Just...no.

I thought disaster movies weren't en vogue anymore.

I guess it has to be me to be the fist one to say Kanye West would be a badass Kaneda.



Oh yeah, I went there:D

And in the live action Neon Genesis he should be Shinji to!XD

'Ye FTW!

Once again a great anime to be american action made trashed~):

I heard this projet is on hold, it might as well just be cancelled

oh i really hope they don't push through with this and with that cast. i just don't want an epic to get seriously trashed. :|
