Live-Action Akira Shuts Down
After years of Development Snake pit and problems with casting, budgets, and script, it sounds like Hollywood's Akira is getting cancelled. Again.
Remember the live-accomplish adaptation of Akira? The movie that was supposed to be a two-picture epic? The project that the director left? That Jaume Collet-Serra got attached to because he can make repugnance movies cheaply? The film that Warner Bros. officially greenlit back in October? Yeah, IT's reasonable been cancelled again, and this time it sounds like a pretty definite thing.
According to The Film industry Reporter:
The propose, which has been through several incarnations, is being shut down in the face of casting, script and budget issues. The production offices in Vancouver are being closed, with below-the-line talent and crew told to stop on the job. "Everybody is existence sent plate," according to an insider.
Reportedly, Collet-Serra is sitting down with the movie's producers to see if they can resolve several of these issues by re-tooling the script. However, if things aren't fixed within few weeks, the picture is apparently going to Be sent back to Development Hades where it will (theoretically) rot for some other decade or so.
From the sound of things, getting cancelled may be the best affair that can happen to Akira at this point. Rumors state that Collet-Serra needs to bring the production budget down to $60-70 million, which is straight further down from the already-reduced budget of $90 million that the production had at the time of official greenlighting. Yet if Charles Dudley Warner Bros. does finish making a live-natural action adaptation of the anime polish off, would you very wish to see something that had been so whittled down?
