    That is a great choice for the Colonel, too bad the movie will still be terrible.

    Kaneda is a bar owner in Neo-Manhattan who is stunned when his brother, Tetsuo, is abducted by government agents led by The Colonel.

    Desperate to get his brother back, Kaneda agrees to join with Ky Reed and her underground movement who are intent on revealing to the world what truly happened to New York City thirty years ago when it was destroyed. Kaneda believes their theories to be ludicrous but after finding his brother again, is shocked when he displays telekinetic powers.

    Ky believes Tetsuo is headed to release a young boy, Akira, who has taken control of Tetsuo’s mind. Kaneda clashes with The Colonel’s troops on his way to stop Tetsuo from releasing Akira but arrives too late. Akira soon emerges from his prison courtesy of Tetsuo as Kaneda races in to save his brother before Akira once again destroys Manhattan island, as he did thirty years ago.

    What gets me is, that synopsis is just laughable. It goes beyond bad, it's just..."wtf?". I can't believe the hollywood big wigs think it's ok to green light a production based on that.

    Did the producers even read or watch the original source material? Shit, this has the chance to make The Last Airbender look like a true to the source masterpiece of cinematic greatness...

    Hollywood won't understand unless we boycott and refuse to go to the movie...and by 'we' I mean everyone in the US, not just anime fans who already know it's going to be terrible. If the movie literally makes no money, they might wise up eventually. Don't think anyone cares enough to start a movement like that though.

    They could just call this something else and have that movie come out since it doesn't look like it will draw in any fans of the anime anyways.

    'Akira' Production Offices Shut Down As Warner Bros. Scrutinizes Budget

    The production offices in Vancouver are being closed, with below-the-line talent and crew told to stop working. “Everybody is being sent home,” according to an insider.

    Warner Bros is pushing the pause button on Akira.

    The project, which has been through several incarnations, is being shut down in the face of casting and budgetary issues. The production offices in Vancouver are being closed, with below-the-line talent and crew told to stop working. “Everybody is being sent home,” according to an insider.

    Producers, which include Appian Way’s Jennifer Kiloran Davisson and Mad Chance’s Andrew Lazar, will hunker down with director Jaume Collet-Serra for the next two weeks to iron out the script. It is unclear if Harry Potter scribe Steve Kloves, who did a pricey rewrite on the project a year ago, will be brought in to help out.

    If the issues cannot be resolved, the project could end up being shelved entirely, say insiders.

    Collet-Serra had already halved the budget from the incarnation that Albert Hughes was going to direct. He is now working on a budget in the $90 million range. But with only Garrett Hedlund (Tron: Legacy) signed on to star, and Kristen Stewart, Ken Wattanabe and Helena Bonham Carter in various stages of dealmaking, the studio feels that the price tag is still too high for a sci-fi project with that level of star wattage. The goal, say insiders, is to bring the budget down to between $60 million and $70 million.

    An adaptation of the classic Japanese manga, Akira is an Americanized story set in a post-apocalyptic New Manhattan, where a motorcycle gang leader (Hedlund) must stop his brother and fellow gang member from abusing his newly acquired telekinetic powers.

    Akira has already “died” three times only to rise phoenix-like from the ashes. Rauiri Robinson and Hughes were previously deep into the project as directors before dropping off. Collet-Serra got the project green-lit and has come the closest to going before cameras.

    This isn't the only Warner Bros. project whose budget is being scrutinized. Arthur and Lancelot, the period fantasy being directed by David Dobkin, also has come under increased budget pressure.

    Sources close to the project say Akira isn't dead yet. “It’s a very resilient movie,” says one insider. “Warner Bros. just won’t let it die.”

    Warner Bros. declined to comment.
    Cross your fingers everyone!
