Akira Live Action Film

I was wikipedia-ing on the latest film I've seen, Akira, and surprised cus this one-of-greatest-animated-film-ever-made is going to be developed into two live action films. More surprised there is that Leonardo DiCaprio will be playing the role Kaneda as well as Joseph Gordon-Levitt for Kaneda's best friend, Tetsuo. The film is set to be released in 2009. Whoaaaaaa can't waiiitt!!
