Oh boy! There's another Akira related photo posted which means, you guessed it, more happy fun time news about Steve! ugh.

Angry Zen Minion Bijan Houshmandzadeh sent over news of some more casting hopefuls. This is a list of people that Warner Bros is considering for the role of Tetsuo Shima who is apparently now Kaneda's brother.


  • D.J. Cotrona (Detroit 1-8-7, G.I.Joe 2: Retaliation)

  • Logan Marshal Green (Devil, Prometheus)

  • Toby Kebbell (RocknRolla, Control)

  • Richard Madden (Game of Thrones)

  • Rami Malek (The Pacific, Twilight: Breaking Dawn — Part 2)

  • Michael Pitt (Boardwalk Empire)

  • Paul Dano (Cowboys & Aliens, There Will Be Blood)

  • Alden Ehrenreich (Tetro)



Oh, and get this, apparently Gary Oldman and Helena Bonham Carter already have parts. I'm guessing Oldman is the Colonel and Carter will be Lady Miyako. Well, I guess Miyako is awful damn pale so it makes sense for--NO IT FUCKING DOESN'T!

Well, there you have it, folks. There is nothing that anyone can say about this movie that will convince me it's something worth spending money on.

I'm sorry, Japan. Next time, keep the rights to you stuff. Sure, it's a nice pay check. But Hollywood will just wipe away anything remotely Asian about it.
