Akira Movie Update
ComicBookMovie.com reports that the Akira movie will be adapted into 2 movies based on the original 6 volume manga. Irish filmaker Ruairi Robinson will be making his debut directorial feature with the first time screen writer Gary Whitta as previously reported. The original Neo Tokyo setting has been Americanised to New Manhattan instead. I’m sure the fanboys are already up in arms with this switch. Leo may have the budget for the movie, but having first timers helm the project is risky and I personally think that the movie would only work out well if they could recapture the cyberpunk feel of the original movie. Let’s keep our fingers crossed on this one.
