:cry:
That is my anime geek inside me. He is cutting his wrists right now. I love the original Akira movie. I really hope it doesn't turn into some Shonen-Jump shitfest (save for a couple).

It's really hard not to get excited about the prospect of a live action Akira.
But it is also hard not to be aprehensive. If they're setting it in a different city, I shutter to think of what else they'd change. They'd probably do something stupid, like change the names and "Americanize" it to get all the teeny bopers interested.
Khar made a good point though...they probably will get Linkin Park to do the soundtrack...
