YOU DON'T need to be an film geek to appreciate the iconic motorcycles used in the original Akira movie – so the rumours that Leonardo DiCaprio has signed up to do the forthcoming real life movie from Warner Brothers should at least get your two-wheeled tastebuds tinkling.
The movie, set in the story’s near-apocalyptic future, features gangs roaring around massive Japanese cities on outlandish future-cycles. Should look good with a stackload of cash and actual mad-ass bikes made.
Ruairi Robinson, the man behind the well-received Fifty Percent Grey animated movie will be the Director of the two-part project.
