Akira Movie Has No Chance

Ok, so as many of you may know, there are plans to make a live-action, american made, Akira movie. So far there is no official director, no official finalized script, no nothing, outside of the fact we know Leonardo DiCaprio‘s production company will be taking care of the production. However, something surfaced on the “kinda reliable” section of the internet today. The part of Shotaro Kaneda, the lead, has been offered to this actor:

I haven’t watched, read, or even seen any bit of Akira, but I can’t imagine this is good. In fact, this is a little hilarious to me. Sorry fans. Pray that this never comes to be. Heres a sneak peak into the future!
