Kristen Stewart, the ghost of that quiet girl from art class who killed herself and that people swear can sometimes be glimpsed in movies, has reportedly been offered a role in the live-action remake of Akira that’s still building steam over at Warner Bros., who is waiting for the whistle that lets it know its big kettle of Celestial Seasonings authentic Japanese green tea is ready for sleepytime.
