Robert Pattinson eyes lead in Akira remake
Twilight star may take main role in Hollywood remake of cult Japanese animation about teenage boy with destructive powers

Fans of Akira, the cult Japanese animation about a teenage boy with terrible destructive powers, may want to look away now. No sooner has the reported threat of Zac Efron taking the main role in the forthcoming Hollywood live action remake been allayed, than a fresh emo threat raises its hunky head: Robert Pattinson.

Deadline reports that the Twilight star is being approached by studio execs to take the main role of Tetsuo, who in the 1988 film begins to exhibit sinister abilities. As well as Pattinson, The Social Network's Andrew Garfield and James McAvoy have also been sent scripts. Efron, who was last year named as a frontrunner for the role, now seems to be out of the picture.

In line to play the other main lead role of Kaneda, a biker and gang leader, are Garrett Hedlund, Michael Fassbender, Chris Pine, Justin Timberlake and Joaquin Phoenix. The Hollywood remake will take the original six-book graphic novel as its source, playing the action out over two films and relocating it to "New Manhattan" rather than the original's New Tokyo, a city built on an artificial island in Tokyo bay following the destruction of the original Japanese capital in an explosion 30 years previously. Akira is the name of a young boy whose powers led to the disaster, one which Kaneda slowly comes to believe his childhood friend Tetsuo may be about to repeat.

The latest casting rumours have emerged following a rewrite of the project's screenplay by Steve Kloves which Deadline reports has executives at Warner Bros and director Albert Hughes (From Hell) excited.

Akira was originally a 2,182-page manga epic which was adapted by its writer Katsuhiro Otomo into a two-hour film (Otomo also directed). Despite its complex, densely packed storyline, it has gained huge popularity over time since its release and helped to fuel the growth of anime's popularity outside of Japan.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD LORD PLEASE SAY THIS ISN'T TRUE PLEASE SAY IT'S ACTUALLY A REALLY SICK RUMOR WHHHHHYYYYYYY?????????

to all Rob fans go away you can't even see that he would ruin the anime O_O?!!!! and seriously the other choices don't make me wanna scream with joy and save up to buy a ticket to see it == no no no no no no no no no no no no no no

KAT TUN 5th ANNIVERSARY

cr: is_kazuchan
yo~ Ryuu here ^^ not long ago i blogged on the formation of KAT TUN well today is the day they debuted~~~~~

yay!!!! *applause* :D yup this day five years ago they made their debut and we know them as the lovely guys they are ^^

and cos we are on the subject of celebrations there must be cake (for me anyway oh and ice cream)

cr: Japandish.com

omg they all look soooo good~! i'd marry (actually maybe not) someone who'd make me stuff :D (yeah maybe not, probably just settle for finding a shop that sells these desserts :P)

cr: funartonline.com

and this last pic is cos i miss those fish (taiyaki) ice creams :P i think i ate them every weekend when i was back in NZ just cos i couldn't give them up 9though they are a little pricey)

and oh btw the pic above is from funart.com which is... for erasers so ... yeah TT^TT

Brains for dinner?

hello there~~~ Ryuu here ^^

today no rant post cos i didn't turn on the tv

(though i am rather annoyed how the fish and chips shop here CAN'T SERVE PROPER CHIPS~!!! really the 'Scotts' they were basing their shop on would be offended on the lack of taste in that place)

but enough cos i feel like bleh~~~~

lol lol it's you know it KEY~

looks like he got a cool jelly mould and has been using it.... i soooooo would want want of those to play with for just a random occasion. Just be like to kids "yeah we're having brains" or i could put one of them into a water bottle :D:D:D:D i wonder how people would react.....

AH~ march break is OVER TT^TT

did i accomplish anything? no i didn't. Why?

because i was too distracted for the past day watching KINPACHI SENSEI season 7!!!! with HIKARU and YABU (though he plays a very very small part)

i won't post spoilers in this post cos i know Azunyan was going to watch it

(for some reason after the quake all i wanted to do is watch JE chibi's like all their old dramas and movies) but yeah. Season 7 is so so so full on. It is one of those dramas that you have to know what happens to (hikaru) Shu TT^TT and they leave you with a cliff hanger ending~

chibi hika when he was... 6? or when he was in the 6th grade i can't read the kanji ==

look at him~!!!!!

Hika playing Shu

a little older i think this was around the high school mark...

the newer pics you can all find yourself since all these came straight from google ^^ just google him :D

(oh btw if anyone watched the last of the YY JUMPING live stage today/ yesterday you know that Yabu was fully disappointed, i'm pretty sure he was waiting for a hug *coughkisscough* scene with hika :P)

i can't wait to see what will happen in the SP since he comes back.... as a farmer OxO and well cos Kame and Yabu are there too and the Engrish boy Keito has his first ever drama debut~

but seriously... why did they shove a 17 year old 9almost 18 this april) into a role of a 14 year old?

i know he doesn't look old but isn't that odd... oh well they do it all the time anyway right....

^^'' babbling

the post i first wanted to post

Ryuu back ._.

i posted what... an hour two hours ago?



ah~ feels good to rant that all out but truthfully

i came on blogger today to say YAY FOR THE FORMATION OF KAT TUN

....sigh still wish i could see them live and i hope for their safety in Japan

downplay disaster my a***

Geez ... usually i don't like making rant posts just cos it looks bad when i read them again but seriously. Decided to flick on the TV after dinner (amazing in itself since i hate watching tv these days)

so what am i greeted with CNN news, with the whole damn story about Japan downplaying the whole nuclear calamity that is upon us~~~!!!!!

i changed channel soon after i heard "thousands have died and the death poll is rising, is Japan just downplaying the situation.... American troops have been sent out and they are being taught how to deal with situation ... radiation problems are being downplayed blah blah blah"

for f@&#'s sake okay yeah the death poll is rising! how can it not they were hit by EARTHQUAKES AND A TSUNAMI. Japan is not so lucky to escape without any casualties. Yes it will rise. WHY!!??

BECAUSE THEY JUST STARTED TO CLEAN UP AND DO THE WHOLE DAMN SEARCH AND RESCUE THING HOW MANY DAYS HAS IT BEEN!!!!

sigh i somewhat realize how easy it is for Kamichan to do this on his blog, when something stupid comes up and your pissed the words just keep flowing~

==

but really what the hell do they expect?

all macros above cr to jpop_macros comm. lj

and because i just kinda got carried away more macros to show how i'm feeling at the moment cr youtachi_macros lj

this goes to my lovely peers. really if you don't understand it's okay nothing will make me like you.

the two Jin macros are dedicated to my teachers. yeah i'm not a a*** kisser. I'm not gonna smile at your jokes and do extra work for you.

and this goes to the wannabes. you can shorten your skirts all you like and preach feminist movements to me all you like. but in the end you still look like a slut.

Ryuu out (_ _)

Without a doubt Johnny's will help out ^^

Ryuu here with some good news for Japan ^^

On March 15th, entertainment agency Johnny & Associates announced that all planned domestic concerts by their artists in March have been canceled. Instead, the transport and power unit trucks normally used for these live performances will be lent to disaster-stricken areas in Japan, free of charge.

In total, 18 performances by 6 artists have been canceled (including TOKIO, Tackey & Tsubasa, Hey!Say! JUMP, and Yamashita Tomohisa).

At every concert, Johnny’s uses several 10-ton transport trucks and a few electric power unit trucks. The agency has a contract in place with truck companies for these, but since the concerts have been canceled, they announced, “If it can help with the disaster relief in stricken areas, we are prepared to lend them out for emergency transport and supplementing electricity … [For example,] transporting material aid, and providing electricity to hospitals…”

Food transport and power shortage are big problems at the affected areas, and Johnny’s says they will consider requests by local authority groups involved in the relief effort for the trucks.

Some fans may be gutted about the concerts (WHY?! it's for a good cause~) i don't know maybe those who've been looking forward to it for ages. but i don't know that just might be a few people.

^^ i know this post is only about Johnny's but i will also say most or all the other idols/ celebs are doing their best to help out. They've all been affected and may have lost a loved one. But. the amazing thing is that they aren't wallowing in self pity but are proactively moving on. (i hope)

sigh wish that this will be the last time in a long time we will hear about the radioactive mess that's happening == probably not. I hope everyone there to be safe
