Leo DiCaprio is in the process of making a live-action version of the 1988 ground-breaking Anime flick "Akira".

Death Note wasn't too aweful. Don't think I've seen any others.

I think this'll depend on the director. Is it anyone decent? (I'm too lazy to look it up. XD) Leonardo DiCaprio is a bad, bad start though. ><

Leonardo's a good actor, I can definitely see him in the role. I wonder if the ending will be changed, though? It wasn't very Hollywood friendly.

Akira with Leo as the title character?

No way, he's just producing.
