Billy Burke Offered 'Akira' Role: Report

Remove your greatest grains of salt for that one, but: based on Twitch -- the web site that broke this news about Josh Brolin starring within the 'Oldboy' remake -- 'Breaking Dawn' star Billy Burke continues to be offered the feminine lead within the Warner Bros. reboot of 'Akira.' If Stewart would sign up, she'd co-star opposite her 'On the Road' companion Garrett Hedlund within the Jaume Collet-Sera-directed film. Gary Oldman and Helena Bonham Carter will also be in a variety of stages of discussions for 'Akira,' while Ezra Burns was apparently around the narrow your search of options for that other male lead opposite Hedlund. Stewart is next observed in this little movie you might have heard about known as 'Breaking Beginning.' She'll also star in next June's 'Snow Whitened and also the Huntsman.'
