It sounds like WB has happen two people ready to tackle this insane task — if only their Book of Eli had n’t been such a dashing hopes , we ’d be more unrestrained . That being said , we ’ve got great trust in the screenplay establish on the author ’ premature workplace .
And yes , Leonardo DiCaprio is still slightly tangled , but only because his ship’s company , Appian Way , is attached to the task . So keep your Leo for Kaneda campaigning to yourself — this part was made for Joseph Gordon - Levitt .
As far as the hearsay that this Akira will be coiffure in a Neo New York , rather of a Neo Tokyo , we have no cue . Right now let ’s just rivet on the theatre director , and hope that if the Hughes brothers do get the project , they treat The Capsules with the respect they so deserve . And the news that WB wants the flick to be a two - parter is definitely a pace in the right guidance .
