Katshurio Oromo's cyberpunk anime classic, AKIRA, is getting a live-action adaptation from Warner Bros. with Taika Waititi as writer/director. In this video, I breakdown my dream casting choices for the major roles, including Kaneda, Tetsuo, and Kei (as well as some key manga characters that weren’t in the 1988 anime).
