The live action version of Akira has finally been given the go-ahead.
Warner Bros have finally given the go-ahead to the film, which has been fraught with problems and delays since it was first conceived.
Garrett Hedlund, last seen in Tron: Legacy, has been cast in the lead role of Kaneda, beating out rumoured contenders James Franco, Zac Efron, Keanu Reeves and Robert Pattinson. Jaume Collet-Sera is attached as director, according to Variety.
In the new film, the action will be transported to 'New Manhattan'.
Sigh.
