   Warner Bros. president Jeff Robinov phoned up Brad Pitt himself and offered him the lead role of Kaneda "in order to secure some star power for the project". The character of Kaneda is supposed to be about 15.

   I wouldn't go jizzing your pants just yet; he hasn't accepted the role, just been offered it.

   I do hope they choose someone closer in age-range to Kaneda though, even if they end up making him a bit older than he's supposed to. The tweaking here and there I can take. But Pitt? Naww, that ain't his role.

   Besides, wasn't there just recently an article about James Franco also being offered the role?

   But when Pitt passed on Akira two days ago, it threw the immediate future of the Hughes' project into disarray. Because it’s not yet clear which Big Movie Star would be both right for the Kaneda part and available to play it, just when Akira might fire up production remains unclear.

   
   Seems the same link you posted said he passed on the role.

   Soooo....

   Does anybody else think that the part at the end where Tetsuo transcended into a higher plane of existence was really a metaphor for his passage into adulthood and therefore his freedom from the childishness of human nature?

   (A "childishness" that will of course play no role in this movie...)
