i know its been talked about forever, but it appears that its for real (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/news/e3i1afdf3970176b315c08be93972a6ee89) this time. it kind of sounds lame but who knows
If they go by the movie then it's fine by me. But this is WB we're talking about..
im guessing there is no way they can actually live up to the original
Some things are best left as they are.
In saying I'd support a trilogy doing the full Akira story but a live action of the manga would be lame in my books.
