Akira: The Hollywood Movie : Japan Probe
Quote:
A live action version of the popular anime movie Akira is coming, and it will be produced by Leonardo DiCaprio:
With its mature themes and cutting-edge animation, “Akira” was a milestone movie in anime and mainstream animation circles, leading the way for anime to make inroads into Western pop culture in the 1990s.
The new story, which DiCaprio will produce for Warner Bros., ideally would be a two-part epic, with the first movie coming out next summer. The action will move to “New Manhattan,” a city rebuilt by Japanese money.
