Spider-Man soundtrack listings revealed

The listings to the Spider-Man movie soundtrack
(due out April 30) are available from this
fan site
. It’s got 19 tracks, including four
that actually appeal to me. Track one is the
theme song to the 1960s cartoon incarnation of
Spider-Man. Tracks 17 and 18 are tracks of Danny
Elfman
‘s score. Track 19 sounds oddly
intruiging; Aerosmith has
done a cover of that original theme song, and it
will be included on the album.

Stephen Norrington adapting Akira for Western audiences.

YaRness writes, (from the as-seen-on-slashdot dept.)Sci Fi Wire reports: “Stephen Norrington (Blade) will write and direct an adaptation of the classic Japanese SF anime Akira for Warner Brothers, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Jon Peters [“Batman”, “Rain Man”] will produce.”So, adaptation means what, western-style cartoon (yuck), live-action (equal yuck)? I can’t see this project turning out anything palatable. Does anyone have any ideas as to how they might make this something worthwhile, either in $$s or other measure of success?
