Akira Listed as “In Development” on Rob’s IMDBPro *Updated*

Rob in leather, Rob on a motorbike – OMG this is almost just as good if not better than a late night post.

Yeah I know there’s always someone out there who is going to tell me that IMDB is not reliable, but I’m going to respond as usual and say I never said it was, but IMDBPro is definitely used by industry and so far it’s not really led us astray when it comes to Rob’s projects “in development”. So although Rob was being very coy the other day in one of his interviews about Akira, one must wonder why it’s listed as “in development” on Rob’s IMDBPro - funny it doesn’t seem to be listed as rumored under Andrew Garfield or James McAvoy. The plot thickens ….

UPDATE: Unbound Captives no longer showing in Rob’s IMDBPro. It’s states “In Development” under the movie “Unbound Captives” but lists no cast at all. I’ve added screencap below.

Ooohhhh this news is so exciting claps hands Fingers crossed we will hear more news soon. That pic is perfect Maria sigh The possibility of another Rob project – the excitement is just like no other Thanks for letting us know Maria. Shame about Unbound but the Akira news sure does make the loss of Phineas a LOT easier to take.

I know @Vertigo – it’s a tough call, but I think the leather and motorbike might just placate me

Oh I know how freakin amazing is it – Leo’s one of the producers um all we need now is for Quentin to include Rob in his western movie and it will be sweet! I mean Christoph is in it – we know how well he works with Christoph batseyelidstoQuentin

I like your logic @maria re Akira info in ImdbPro. Motorbike and leather huh? sounds good to me…and I can see from the comments that none of us would mind if he accepts this role. Pity about UC, it would have been something reallly different for Rob to sink his teeth in. Thanks again for being so fast with the latest developments @maria, you are truly amazing!

Oh, oh, oh…how exciting… Rob + leather + motorbike = lethal combination…very, very lethal

So what is Akira? Was it a comic book?
Posted On: April 13th, 2011 By: caro

Rob + motorbike + leather = OH WOW! If it goes ahead, ticket sales might be good, but don’t know if anyone will actually see the movie…we’ll all be slumped in our seats having fainted from the sight of something sooooooo HOT!
Posted On: April 13th, 2011 By: Carolyn

@caro yes it was a Japanese comic and the character rumoured for Rob is probably best described as the anti-hero. Oh I hope this comes through although I should let you all know that this project has been in the works since 2007 so hopefully it won’t go down the same path as Unbound Captives. I think we already knew that at 25 it was pretty much going to be a stretch to believe Rob as an 18 year old. Plus it was only a supporting role so he wasn’t in the movie all that much.

Oooh! Thanks for this news @Maria. I would have responded before now but the visuals alone have had me slumped and drooling for a while now. Go Rob – I hope it’s true….so exciting!!
