MUMBAI: Warner Bros. is considering to cast Keanu Reeves in its adaptation of Katsuhiro Otomo‘s anime film Akira.

It is said that the production house has had talks with Reeves regarding the role, though the role has not been offered to him.

In 2008, the company had revealed that it would partner with Leonardo DiCaprio‘s Appian Way studio to produce the film. Lately, in March, stars including Justin Timberlake and Robert Pattinson were signed.

Reeves is already attached to produce and star in a live-action adaptation of the Sunrise anime series Cowboy Bebop, although in his most-recent comment on the project he was uncertain whether it would move forward.
