There's a report out (http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=24803)that Warner Bros. is in discussions with the Hughes Bros. to direct a live action version of the cult anime classic Akira.

Wonder who will be yelling "Tetsuo!" throughtout the movie. Assuming it gets made.

There is just no reason for that to be made
I have no idea why WB thinks Akira would translate well either. The American public would HATE this movie.

I love the art and the original manga but I was so so about the actual story of the ani-film
Japanese manga translates really poorly

Yet another example of the lack of vision and imagination flowing like a shit river out of Hollywood. Why make this movie?
