animated version, produced by and starring Leonardo DiCaprio?
I have fantasized about a live action version of Akira for around twenty years, but I think DiCaprio is a bit too old to play Kaneda (and I have to say I think DiCaprio is our generation's Brando. The guy is brilliant.). Maybe the screenwriters could adjust things a bit so he can portray that role.
Despite my mixed feelings, and depending upon who the director is, I think a live action version of AKIRA could be sensational. But hurry up, because soon it will be hard to accept DiCaprio as a twenty year old.
James Cameron has a good track record for directing and making profits on films budgeted over three hundred mil.
JC directing LD in a live action version of AKIRA. I could get excited about that.
