Hollywood Reporter dropped word yesterday that Leonardo DiCaprio’s Appian Way and Warner Bros are teaming up to make a live action version of Fisher-Price My First Anime, Akira. On top of that, AICN’s got the scoop that Joseph Gordon Levitt will be playing Tetsuo and have also heard that Leo Di himself will be playing Kaneda. Fans of the original manga and groundbreaking 1989 animated feature might balk at the Westernization of the property but we here at the Screengrab think Levitt and DiCaprio might be more than entertaining screaming their characters’ names at each other. Newcomer Ruairi Robinson is set to direct with Gary Whitta penning the screenplay.
