AWARENESS: Hollywood casting of 'Akira'

[indefiance]

I've never seen Akira, but from what I'm hearing...Hollywood plans on keeping the Asian names but making all the characters WHITE. You can read more about that on Racebending.com, but I've copied and pasted a short excerpt from them here for you

You should see Akira!

And I agree with irradiancy that they really should leave this one alone. A classic, and a landmark of anime films. The very words 'new and revised script' are blasphemous.

*sigh* The whitewashing just never stops, eh? :(... It used to anger me before, but now I'm just disappointed.
