Fri, 11 February 2011 at James Franco: Akira Manga Man! Exclusive!

James Franco is in talks to star as the lead role Kaneda in the live action feature-film Akira, JustJared.com has exclusively confirmed.

The flick will be based off of anime artist Katsuhiro Otomo’s six-volume cyberpunk manga (Japanese word for comics). The film is set in New Manhattan, where the leader of a biker gang saves his friend from a medical experiment.

Warner Bros. has tapped director Albert Hughes (The Book of Eli) to helm the project, along with Leonardo DiCaprio’s production company Appian Way.

James, who is co-hosting the Academy Awards later this month with Anne Hathaway, unsurprisingly has been getting roles offered to him left and right. He also has the opportunity to replace Robert Downey, Jr. as the Wizard of Oz in the upcoming Disney movie Oz: The Great and Powerful. Director Sam Raimi will helm the Wizard of Oz prequel, which is based on L. Frank Baum’s classic books.

WHAT DO YOU THINK James Franco will choose to star in — Oz or Akira?

Secretly waiting for those steamy scenes between Leo and Winklevii

 

[lostgirl]

He looks good in the J Edgar pics. The lack of facial hair really makes him look young!

 

[sobriquet87]

He always looks good IMO.
But I think this may be the film that finally gets him his Oscar.
I can't wait to see it.

Leonardo DiCaprio: 'Wolf of Wall Street' with Martin Scorsese!

Leonardo DiCaprio is set to star in The Wolf of Wall Street, an adaptation of Jordan Belfort’s memoir of the same name, according to Variety.

The film will be directed by Martin Scorsese and will be the fifth collaboration between Leo and the Oscar-winning director.

The Wolf of Wall Street follows Belfort’s “dramatic rise and fall on Wall Street, along with his hard-partying lifestyle and tumultuous personal life, which included a massive drug addiction.”

“After almost four years in development, I can’t begin to tell you how thrilled I am to finally be working with Leo and Marty on this,” Belfort said. “They’re the ultimate Dream Team, and it was definitely worth the wait.”

WHAT DO YOU THINK about Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese’s new project?

[babyjane]

He's become such an acting force I go to see all his movies just for him because I know he typically makes good choices.

On a fashion note, he always looks better in the moves than out LOL

 

[Aquila]

I can't wait to see him in custom for 'The Great Gatsby'.

 

[advo]

Wow, Hammer is tall! Leo looks practically short by comparison, and Leo's not even a short guy!

 

[lostgirl]

Wow, Hammer is tall! Leo looks practically short by comparison, and Leo's not even a short guy!

I know, I noticed that too. According to IMDB, Hammer is 6"5 and Leo is 6"0. So yeah, Hammer is a tall guy!

 

[sobriquet87]

Leonardo is Martin Scorsese's muse. All of Scorsese's big films since 2002 (Gangs of New York, The Aviator, The Departed, and Shutter Island) have starred Leo.
And now Martin's two upcoming films, Sinatra and now this Wallstreet movie will also star Leo.

In terms of work, Leonardo seriously gets the best of any actor in his age group.
But I would love to see him do some comedy or romance again. All of his films are so serious now.

 

[lostgirl]

^But he's always done primarily serious films. I think his lightest films were Catch Me if You Can and Celebrity. I suppose Growing Pains was a comedy too if you go back that far!

As for romance he does that occasionally. Romeo and Juliet, Titanic, Total Eclipse, and Revolutionary Road were all romances. They just weren't happy!

 

[MissyJG]

I think Leo said he would get bored if he didn't find the character challenging and interesting...Leo gets to star in Martin's movies because Leo can pull it off. Not many actors his age can act and show emotion the way Leo does imo
