Live action Akira?

[Ginkasa]

If you didn't know, Akira is a great anime science fiction anime from 1988. Anyway, they are planning to make a live action version of the movie here in the U.S., under the direction of Stephen Norrington. I was just wondering what the people who have seen Akira here think about it.

I personally think its a bad idea. Making a live action version (especially here in the U.S.) is probably the worse thing they could do to it.
