Go watch the animated movie and then say what you think. I think (hope) it will be good.

I think he would actually make a good biker-esque character.

OH HOLY LORD YES!!!!
It's going to be two movies, the first one following the first three books, and the second movie following the second three.
For anyone who saw the animated movie and were worried that they just weren't smart enough to understand it, fret not. The animated movie, as long as it was just could not capture the epicosity of the real story, so it was REALLY abridged from the books, throwing out several major characters and plots, rearranging events and dumping out some of the basic plot points that made anything coherent.
Things that you will notice different about this movie: (Spoilers)
-Akira will actually be a character, and not a collection of jars.
-The first movie will include the part where Tetsuo actually BECOMES the leader of the clowns and then proceeds to release AKIRA from beneath the earth
-The second movie will be about how Kaneda and friends band together to take down Tetsuo and Akira's cult of personality/dictatorship after the city has been decimated by another massive explosion
This. movie. will. be. awesome.

The Departed btw, was an americanization of a modern chinese film, produced by the same guy who americanized the ring and the grudge. And Leonardo DiCaprio is a great actor so shushka

I flipped through the manga once, and noticed right away that it was dramatically different from the movie. I'd like to read the whole thing, now.

the film was directed by the same guy who wrote and drew the manga. it was a pure film. this remake is a bad idea.
i actually worked in a film studio with the director a few years ago. if i'd known that it would come to this, i'd have slaughtered him on the spot

It'll either be great or shit.
There is no middle ground in a movie like this.
