Post by GamePlayer »

I was certain we had a thread about this, but I guess not. Well, for those who don't know, word has been spreading fro months about a live-action adaptation of Akira, the infamous Japanese manga and subsequent classic anime film.

Latest news, the adaptation sounds surprisingly good given Hollywood's involvement. Here are the details:

Enjoy :)
