Akira is a story that means a lot to me, so having such a hack moron in charge of a live action adaptation deeply saddens me. And I do think a live action version can work, as an epic Japanese/American coproduction, with the right people in charge. But knowing Hollywood today, with a studio tool like Collet-Serra... it'll be diluted beyond repair. Just look at the man's track record, just mediocre horror movies and Liam Neeson action vehicles...
