Live Akira
one from the "on that bombshell" files... reports of a live action version of anime classic Akira are coming in - Leonardo DiCaprio's producing apparently (and maybe playing Kanedaaaaaaaa!) with Joseph Gordon Levitt (from Brick) as Tetsuo?! yes, they're updating it to be set in New Manhattan. Katsuhiro Otomo is involved, but I can't help thinking: can't they just leave some things alone? love that film. still, that was an adaptation from the original manga, so maybe it can stand another version
