Akira・アキラ

I heard that an Akira movie would be out fairly soon. At first I thought
"cool, lucky me. I will be able to watch the Iron Man movie and the Akira movie soon. Manga/Comicbook lovers Assemble!" (wrong comic-book but I'm a fan of the Avengers too)
Then I found out that the movie is not made in Japan with the leads including American actors. I have nothing against the company or the actors but I have to wonder how much to story will follow the original with Americans making it. Will the setting for the movie even take place in Japan? It could be great but I was really hoping for something mirroring the original. I'll just have to wait to see.
