And now its Keanu Reeves as Kaneda (Akira movie)??

So we've posted earlier this year about the making of a live action movie of Akira. The main character besides Akira is his friend Kaneda. A couple of famous actors wanted to have this leading role of the movie, for example Zac Efron and James Franco (blg). (And Morgan Freeman as Kolonel Shikishima. What the....??!!)

Now I've heard that Keanu Reeves is front runner to play Kaneda! Reeves talked to Warner Bros. about it, and because they already built a good relationship (because of the Matrix trilogy) he really has a big advantage compared to the other actors.

*sigh* which actor do you think will fit the role of Kaneda? I already made my choice...

The story of Akira will be adapted into two live action movies. We don't know when the movie will be released but we will keep you updated.
