Warners Bros. to produce Akira live action film

[tripplej]

For anime fans of the film "Akira", looks like a live action film is going to be made..

from gizmodo,

"The California Film Commission has announced that the Akira adaptation, which has been loosely in the works since 2008, will be filmed entirely in the state of California (even though the story takes place in Tokyo)—getting about $18-million in tax credits for doing so. The production schedule hasn’t been revealed, but a report in Deadline says filming should take place over about two and a half months. The adaptation is being produced by Leonardo DiCaprio and Andrew Lazar who have been attached to this project for some time now."

Any thoughts? I just hope they don't mess it up. lol.
