DICAPRIO AND WARNERS FINANCE AKIRA MOVIE
Leonardo DiCaprio and Warner Bros. are teaming up to bring anime classic
AKIRA to the big screen, says THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER.
Ruairi Robinson will direct the live-action, possibly two-part epic
written by Gary Whitta.
DiCaprio will produce under Appian Way and Andrew Lazar will produce
through Mad Chance.
AKIRA surfaced in 1988 as a manga, then was turned into an animated film
by Katsuhiro Otomo.
In a futuristic "New Tokyo" circa 2019, a teen biker gang's leader must
find a way to stop the destruction of a fellow gang member.
The film is credited for leading anime into Western culture in the
1990s.
The live-action version could be released as soon as summer 2009 for the
first of two movies.

Dawn of the Large Hadron Collider
Why do objects have mass? To help find out, Europe's CERN has built the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the most powerful particle accelerator yet created by humans. This May, the LHC is scheduled to start smashing protons into each other with unprecedented impact speeds. The LHC will explore the leading explanation that mass arises from ordinary particles slogging through an otherwise invisible but pervasive field of virtual Higgs particles. Were high energy colliding particles to create real Higgs bosons, the Higgs mechanism for mass creation may be bolstered. LHC will also look for micro black holes, magnetic monopoles, and explore the possibility that every type of fundamental particle we know about has a nearly invisible supersymmetric counterpart. The LHC@Home project will allow anyone with a home computer to help LHC scientists search archived LHC data for these strange beasts. Pictured above, a person stands in front of the huge ATLAS detector, one of six detectors being attached to the LHC.
