[Movies] DiCaprio On Akira & Ninja Scrolls Posted by Ashish on 11.12.2008
DiCaprio bringing classic anime to big screen...
Leonardo DiCaprio recently spoke with MTV about his production company turning the classic anime titles, Akira and Ninja Scrolls, into big screen movies.
In the interview, DiCaprio says he will produce but won't star in the films.
"I'm not really interested". So don't expect to see Leo riding on motorbikes or dreaming of teddy bears sipping milk anytime soon."
DiCaprio said this about Ninja Scrolls: "I'm a big fan of Japanese anime - [there is] another project called Ninja Scroll we're trying to get developed and made into a movie, and I know there a lot of loyal fans out there of the project and die-hard fans, so we're going to try to do the best job we possibly can and we're not going to make the movie until the script is in the right shape."
this has bad news written all over it but they are approaching it well, and I will remain optomistic.

Awesome Leo! But for the love of GOD already, bring back Sailor Moon over here. The fans have been waiting for a live action movie for years. :)

There are still Sailor Moon fans in the U.S.? Wow, anyway how about a Berserk movie, epic and bloody as hell!

i think Claymore would make for an interesting movie, or even cable series

@ COME ON LEO,
You do realize there is already a Sailor Moon live action series out there right?

COME ON LEO!!!, if you're serious, there's a Power Rangers type live action TV series of Sailor Moon that aired in Japan a few years ago. It is pretty much the best thing ever.

GUNDAM WING. That series has "Hollywood Blockbuster" written all over it. They could even make a trilogy.

Leo DiCaprio should talk to Threshold CEO Larry Kasanoff on co-producing the Ninja Scroll movie so Appian Way,Madhouse Studios and Threshold Entertainment should join toghter to produce Ninja Scroll.
Thank You.
