The Friday Poll is back! Ok, so first, we thought that maybe the Live Action Akira Movie was never gonna happen moving forward. Well, apparently Joseph Gordon Levitt (Live Action Cobra Commander), who was rumored to be Tetsuo isn’t involved (yet). From JoBlo:
“That’s really just a rumor,” Levitt told MTV at the Toronto Film Festival, adding, “that just goes to show what you can believe about what people write about movies.” Levitt says that the “loves” the original movie but as far as he knows there isn’t even a script for the film yet.
Who do you think should be Tetsuo? Will Live Action Akira ever get made? Vote in the poll, then tell us your thoughts in the comments!

I love anime. Specifically, series involving any of the following things: weird fantasy elements, super-powers, robots, aliens, wicked humor, crazy villains, horror, ninjas and samurai. I guess that means I like a lot of anime. I am pretty particular about the quality of animation and voice acting. If the character designs and animation quality aren't of über-quality, I quickly loose interest.The first anime-related series I ever watched was Battle of the Planets - otherwise known as Gatachman. The first true theatrical anime feature film I saw was Akira. My first exposure to manga was later in life when I read Osamu Tezuka's Astro Boy.There are so many incredible elements of Japanese culture. Some of the most exciting to me are the style of design and storytelling. I'm a web designer & illustrator, and I find myself looking to Japanese design for inspiration all the time.Anime blogging has taught me even more about Japanese culture and anime than I ever expected, and I continue to learn more every week. In fact, I'd love to travel to Japan. Rachel and I hope to visit sometime within the next few years.
Hey Dave,
Been insanely busy these days. Looks like you guys have been as well.
Hmmm. Who should play Tetsuo? I’d imagine that would probably have to be some unknown, but for right now I would say Nao Omori, who played Ichi in Ichi the Killer. He’s a little old, but he can do that hurt-yet-dangerous thing like no one else.
Awesome! (???)/
Chris – Nao Omori would be an interesting choice…the great thing is, he’s actually Japanese. Why does Hollywood always change everyone’s ethnicity?
Hana – Yeah, I think it’s awesome too – mostly because I think regardless of who they cast, Live Action Akira is a bad idea, lol!
Bonjourno dear friends! I was reading for a while and now i’m registered:)
Hope i’m welcome here)
