According to Variety, the-studio-with-the-best-sandwiches-in-Hollywood will turn anime artist Katsuhiro Otomo's six-volume graphic novel "Akira" into two live-action feature films, the first of which is being fast tracked for release in summer 2009. WB, which had the "Akira" rights several years ago only to let them lapse and then recapture them in a spirited bidding battle, is planning a twin bill that the filmmakers have described as "Blade Runner" meets "City of God." The films, directed by Ruairi Robinson and penned by Gary Whitta ("Book of Eli"), take place in New Manhattan, a metropolis that was rebuilt after being destroyed 31 years earlier….. by the babies that Godzilla hatched in Madison Square Gardens, right? |
