The mother of all anime flicks - AKIRA is all set to make a splash into the big screen of Hollywood.
The original anime version that surfaced in late 80s told the tale of the Tokyo city in 2019 where a teen biker is subjected to an experiment which brings out some strange powers that resided in his body. While the govt officials decide to kill him, the teen boy escapes to the main city eventually creating havoc.
Now this new live version will be brought to you by Warner Bros who shall go ahead and change the setting of the story to 2019 Manhattan. The film is slated to be directed by Ruairi Robinson with Leonardo Di Caprio to head the cast.
