I don't think its possible to make a movie version of Akira and do the Manga justice. Its long, it had so many different layers to its political/social commentary and we don't need to expose a generation to the great question of "what the smurf happened to Kanaeda after Akira blew up Neo-Tokyo?"

I'm against the transfer of one medium to another, especially when Hollywood is involved but I then it struck me that I would love to see someone try their hand at making Osama Tezuka's Phoenix into a feature film, despite it being episodic and unfinished... I heard they are making an anime series but a feature film would probably do it better justice actually. This is a rather odd statement coming from me...
