The lead actress in Twilight continues to build up a nice array of post-Twilight projects. Today word has come down that Stewart as well as Gary Oldman and Helena Bonham Carter have been offered important roles in Akira.

Collider reports:

For those unfamiliar with the original manga/anime, the story takes place in the future city of New Manhattan (formerly Neo-Tokyo) and follows Kaneda (played by Garrett Hedlund), the leader of a biker gang tasked with saving his friend Tetsuo, who has potentially destructive psychokinetic abilities, from government medical experiments. According to Twitch, Stewart is up for the part of “Kei, a young medium who becomes the love interest for Kaneda.” Offers are also out to Gary Oldman to play Colonel and Helena Bonham Carter for Lady Miyako. Filming is set to begin in the spring.

Would any of you anime fans like to see Stewart, Oldman, or Carter in these roles?
