LOS ANGELES- "akira", language English, live-action on property taken anime and manga landmark, is reset to zero on its star, and it would be just Keanu Reeves.
Warner Bros. has a difficult time to find the two leaders of the film, directed by Albert Hughes. In the script, the action moves from Neon-Tokyo again in Manhattan, where a biker gang leader tries to save his best friend to a medical experiment that threatens to trigger destructive powers.
Actors ranging from James Franco and Joseph Gordon-Levitt to Robert Pattinson and Michael Fassbender surrounded the project in one form or fashion as the studio attempted to find a lead a list.
Now comes word that Reeves had held discussions with the studio, with which he has already made the film "Matrix" massively successful, for the part of Kaneda, the gang leader. Reeves has not yet an offer for the role, but we hear that talks with its representatives have been going well.
Reeves anchor project could serve as a strong attraction to one another A-list to play the role of Tetsuo, the best friend.
Reeves is currently shooting the "47 Ronin" action film Samurai
