MTV's Splash Page blog recently spoke to Leonardo DiCaprio about the progress in his production company, Appian Way's live action adaptations of Akira and Ninja Scroll. “We're waiting for the final draft of the script [for 'Akira'],” DiCaprio told MTV. “I’m a big fan of Japanese anime — that and another project called ‘Ninja Scroll’ we’re trying to get developed and made into a movie, and I know there a lot of loyal fans out there of the project and die-hard fans, so we’re going to try to do the best job we possibly can and we’re not going to make the movie until the script is in the right shape.” While DiCaprio will be producing the films, when asked if he'd be interested in acting in either, DiCaprio responded “No, not really.”
