Can't really complain...

I think Akira can be done better than the original movie. The manga isn't the longest, but the latter portion could be better represented, a lot of it's missing. Whether an American two-part live action movie would do it... I have my doubts.

Convergence Entertainment ("The King of Fighters") has closed feature rights deals on a pair of franchise properties -- "Gungrave" and "Lone Wolf."

Convergence is aiming to produce both projects as live-action features with budgets in the $30 million-$35 million range by tapping into financing sources from its strategic partners in Asia. Tim Kwok, the banner's topper, will produce, with Yasuaki Nagoshi from Red Entertainment exec producing "Gungrave," while Andrew Lam will associate produce on "Lone Wolf."

I really feel there is no love loss with Akira.  I liked the anime all good and well, I just don't think i would really be intrested in the Live action.
