Akira (2021)

It's freakin' true. How does that work? It's Helena plus bonus cute/exoticness or something? You want her but you want to pat her on the head too! Ugh, worrying about furry tendencies now. :lol
 
"Casting call spoils the plot of the Akira remake"

Kaneda (Garret Hedlund) is a bar owner in Neo-Manhattan who is stunned when his brother, Tetsuo, is abducted by government agents led by The Colonel (Ken Watanabe). Desperate to get his brother back, Kaneda agrees to join with Ky Reed (Kristen Stewart) and her underground movement who are intent on revealing to the world what truly happened to New York City thirty years ago when it was destroyed. Kaneda believes their theories to be ludicrous but after finding his brother again, is shocked when he displays telekinetic powers. Ky believes Tetsuo is headed to release a young boy, Akira, who has taken control of Tetsuo's mind. Kaneda clashes with The Colonel's troops on his way to stop Tetsuo from releasing Akira but arrives too late. Akira soon emerges from his prison courtesy of Tetsuo as Kaneda races in to save his brother [before] Akira once again destroys Manhattan island, as he did thirty years ago.

Yeah, nothing new there is there? NYC wiped out, rebuilt via Japanese funding - or some such hastily cobbled-together farrago.
 
Fan made trailer that shows you can stay true to the source material instead of turning Neo-Tokyo into Neo-Manhattan or having to have big name Hollywood actors like Dicaprio as Kaneda or Gordon Levitt as Tetsuo.
