Gossip Teen

Zac Efron might be looking at a role in an American adaptation of the Japanese manga Akira. The actor has (possibly) been offered the lead role of Akira, the young man who develops paranormal/psychic abilities that he looses control over and devastates Tokyo in an apocalyptic explosion.

The movie has been in development for a while and Leonardo DiCaprio and Joseph Gordon-Levitt were also rumored to be attached to the film, but each have denied the casting rumor.

GossipTeen will keep an eye out for a confirmation or denial.
