Warner Bros. planerar en remake av den hyllade animen Akira. Aktuella Thor-regissören Taika Waititi kommer eventuellt regissera den (vilket vi skrivit om tidigare). Det är däremot inte spikat ännu. Det har varit rätt tyst om det och Waititi har inte själv sagt att han ska regissera filmen. Under en intervju med io9 fick Waititi hur som helst frågan om vad hans personliga band till Akira är.
"My mom took me to see Akira in the cinema in 1989, or whenever it came out in New Zealand, and it was a huge turning point in my life for what I imagined animation to be and realizing what it could be. It's stuck with me this whole time and I feel, visually, the film was such an amazing thing.
So I read the [comic] books and I was always more curious as to what a broader adaptation of the books might look like instead of a remake of the film, which doesn't need to be remade. But I do feel there could be a cool live action adaptation of the books."
Hur gärna vill du se en filmatisering av Akira?
