I know what you're thinking. That sounds really dumb.

But wait, there's good news! The movie is going to be set in New York instead of Tokyo! And Tetsuo and Kaneda are most likely going to be played by Robert Pattinson and Justin Timberlake! :X3: :X3: :X3: :X3: :X3: :X3: :X3: :X3: :X3: :X3:

Just as fair warning.

I have as much hope for this as I do the upcoming Michael Bay Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, which is to say, none at all.

Hollywood just seems hell bent on raping classic franchises.

The old Akira movie was mildly successful and definitely has a cult following. This new one might just do the same, despite how retarded it looks.

For some reason, this reminds me of that one sketch on Robot Chicken about a musical version of Akira.

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE!

The director of such classics as House of Wax and Orphan is doing Akira!

Ok it's official this one will bomb so hard!

The biggest mistake he did in house of wax?
Paris hilton died when she got her head cut of!
