A Vancouver drop call for extras has let on some of the ways the Americanized , live - action Akira will differ from the original Nipponese manga and anime origin material . What ’s newfangled ? Kaneda possess a legal community , Tetsuo ’s his blood brother , and , oh yeah , the role of the Colonel is apparently going to Ken Watanabe .
FromActing Auditions :
Kaneda ( Garret Hedlund ) is a stripe owner in Neo - Manhattan who is stun when his brother , Tetsuo , is abducted by government agents led by The Colonel ( Ken Watanabe ) . dire to get his chum back , Kaneda concur to fall in with Ky Reed ( Kristen Stewart ) and her cloak-and-dagger movement who are intent on reveal to the world what truly happened to New York City thirty years ago when it was ruin . Kaneda believe their theories to be farcical but after find his brother again , is offend when he displays telekinetic powers . Ky believes Tetsuo is head to free a young boy , Akira , who has taken control of Tetsuo ’s judgment . Kaneda clashes with The Colonel ’s troops on his agency to cease Tetsuo from releasing Akira but arrives too belatedly . Akira presently emerges from his prison courtesy of Tetsuo as Kaneda step on it in to write his brother [ before ] Akira once again destroy Manhattan island , as he did thirty years ago .
This synopsis may be deserving taking with a food grain of salt , as the casting call confirms Helena Bonham Carter as Lady Miyako and claims that Kristen Stewart ’s locked in for Ky. These theatrical role may very well change , but Kaneda the whistle barkeep and his inexplicably Japanese - named Caucasian brother Tetsuo auditory sensation like plausible rejiggerings . I will say this : the minute they axethe Milk River - vomiting teddy bear , I ’m climbing up the barricade .
