All I remember about Akiiiiiiiirrrrrraaaaa is some kid who kept on screaming “Akiiiiiiiirrrrrraaaaa” over and over again. Now, however, it will become a live-action movie set in New Manattan where people will yell “Akiiiiiiiirrrrrraaaaa” in new studio apartments while shopping at Dean and Deluuuuuuuucaaaaa.

Ruairi Robinson directs with a script from Gary Whitta. It should be out in 2009. Hopefully Keeeeeaaaaaaannuuuuuu will star alongside Hilllllllaaaaaareeeee Duff.
