Gooooooood. Finally it's happening. It better not suck.

It could possibly suck if he either dosen't know japanese and they have it in tokyo or if they have it in Neo New york but have TOO much of that japanese vibe still

For some reason I got a good feeling about this.

no. no no no no no. no no. no no no no no no no. no. no. no no no no no no no no. no. no no no no no. no no. no no no no no no no. no. no. no no no no no no no no. no. no no no no no. no no. no no no no no no no. no. no. no no no no no no no no. no. no no no no no. no no. no no no no no no no. no. no. no no no no no no no no. no. no no no no no. no no. no no no no no no no. no. no. no no no no no no no no. no. no no no no no. no no. no no no no no no no. no. no. no no no no no no no no. no. no no no no no. no no. no no no no no no no. no. no. no no no no no no no no. no. no no no no no. no no. no no no no no no no. no. no. no no no no no no no no. NO.

i agree with fatkidsgettinghurt. I have no idea why, but i trust this project for some reason. And being no fan of DiCaprio i can't explain why i'm confident about this one. Besides that it'll be in 2 parts. God that'd be cool.

and they BETTER NOT CHANGE THE NAMES. I don't care if it IS in New York and they ARE american, those mutha fuckaz is called Tetsuo and Kaneda. Or it's not the same movie.

Okay, the film is in 2 parts, good... They won't shorten the story so much. Joseph Gordon Levitt looks like Tetsuo on the linked photo. But... WHY? Why Leonardo di caprio? Why Manhattan? What's the point? Akira works because it takes place in japan and deals with japanese themes with japanese point of vue. Can you imagine caprio with black hair and red overalls? Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy???!!!

Ruari Robinson is a great director so I'm having high hopes for this. Go watch his short film, The Silent City, here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=_MfNyfwwfV4

Well, first of all I think is important to know it ISN'T A REMAKE of the (wonderful xD) japanese movie, is a film adaptation of the six first volumes of the manga (three per movie). About the names, again, it's an adaptation that sets on Neo-Manhattan, a city rebuilt with japanese money (maybe that's why it keeps the name Akira, as there may be other things with japanese names). For the third time: adaptation xD I think people don't remember this enough. Why DiCaprio? Because DiCaprio pull some stringes on the project and is a succesfell hollywood actor. Why Manhattan? Who knows, on IMDB they say that New York was the unluckiest city ever xD And I gotta tell you that DiCaprio with black hair is really hot xDDD (Sorry if sometimes I don't make myself clear... english is my second language)
