Akira Updates: Zac Efron as Kaneda

Warner Bros offered Zac Efron a leading role in the anticipated live action remake of the anime Akira. The main plot took place in Japan, but Warner Bros wanted to shoot in USA, ruined Manhattan. No worries, Zac will keep the leading character’s name Kaneda (despite he’s blond, and his Americanized look).

This is how to ruin a classic!
