tzikeh: After the TRAVESTY that is the casting of Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen, now we get this:

tzikeh: "Beloved anime classic Akira is in the process of getting a live-action adaption courtesy of Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures. In fact, they're currently trying to assemble a cast. Oddly enough, despite keeping the leading characters' names Kaneda and Tetsuo, all the actors approached are white."

lydiabell: yeah

tzikeh: when do I get special dispensation to punch people in the face? Where do I apply for that permit?

(A quote from the linked article: "I'm told that for Tetsuo, Robert Pattinson, Andrew Garfield and James McAvoy have been given the new script. For the role of Kaneda, the script has been given to Garrett Hedlund, Michael Fassbender, Chris Pine, Justin Timberlake and Joaquin Phoenix. The two leads are expected to come from that group of actors.")
