Akira Remake?

[ChocolateVillain]

Well from what I hear is that they are doing a remake of this 80s cult classic animated movie.

It will be a live action movie with the Hughes brothers at its helm (Book of Eli)

Produce by Warner Brothers and Leonardo DiCaprio (who is also suppose to start in it)
The films will return to Katsuhiro Otomo's original manga for inspiration, each one will be based on three of the six original series. Otomo is on board as Executive Producer, which gives us some hope that these films will turn out OK.

The film has a back log of terrible talent on the writing team. From what I've gathered, the script is going into it's third or fourth iteration.

Looks like it could turn out to be a terrible film.

Well there is always a chance that it'll turn out good. The two guys they brought in to rework/rewrite the script were both writers on Iron Man and Children of Men...though it's pretty hard to tell what capacity they worked on those projects.
