DiCaprio doing Akira and Ninja Scroll live action flicks

[Zeus]

Thank the Lord he's only producing and has no interest in acting in them

Does he threaten you Zeus? =P

He's actually probably about the right caliber of actor that would fit some role in either one of those movies based on his most up to date stuff.

I think The Aviator and The Departed clearly established that DiCaprio is a good actor.

I didn't see Aviator but didn't think his performance in Departed was anything special

[Blotus]

We've had this argument before and Zeus was wrong then as well.

The Akira thing is old news. I heard about NS on AotS a couple weeks ago. I'm neutral on the idea of both until there's something concrete on either... unless it's a totally Americanized remake of Akira with a similarly common English name.

In 2010, Leo DiCaprio is... FRED.

He can't do the role because Akira doesn't go "undercover" to infiltrate a rival gang.

I still havent seen Akira, but i think a NS live action could be kind of cheesy. The special techs that each ninja has will look like a battle between superheroes, which downgrades the cool and serious story of the anime. I'm always skeptical, but maybe it will be good.

Ehhhh, Kill Bill didnt have Stretch Armstrong ninjas, floating bubble fat guys, tadpole heads, or Raiden eyed mindwarpers...

[bovine]

yeah..... and the guy with the bees. I'm with flip on this one. The potential for this looking retarded is high.

Or chicks that gave you a poison if you tried to rape them. Or bisexual weirdo villians. That and:

"*ennh* *ennh* What's your report? *ennh* *ennh* *ennh* *ennh* *ennh*"

Yeah, because we've never had films with common names before like: EdTV, or Jeremiah, or Hancock, or Freddy, or Jason, or Freddy vs. Jason,

Besides, we already have a movie called Fred.
