Are they... actually still calling it "Akira"? I mean, there's nothing to indicate yet whether they're keeping the names Tetsuo and Kaneda, but - if they set it in America, and they use an all-white cast, does it not occur to them that... maybe using the name "Akira" for no apparent reason would... make no sense? Even be, um, really really stupid?

What am I saying this is Hollywood. :P
