Taika Waititi's Long-Delayed Live-Action 'Akira' Movie Reportedly Scrapped
Among the string of live-action anime adaptations created over the past few years, one that has consistently avoided significant advancements in the pre-production stage is an adaptation of Katsuhiro Otomo's seminal work, Akira. Originally published from 1982 to 1990, Akira is a cyberpunk post-apocalyptic story that revolves around several different figures in Japan's crumbling society, whether it be through the teenage biker gang led by Shotaro Kaneda, the revolutionary Kei, or the Military leader Colonel Shikishima. While there has been some news about Akira moving forward at Warner Bros., it seems that the project is finally dead in the water.
