Speaking this morning from an early press day for The Book of Eli, screenwriter Gary Whitta was asked about his contributions to an early draft of the live-action Akira film, a project that, since it's original announcement, has met with varying degrees of progress, including rumors that it would be split into two films and that work on the project had stopped altogether. "...I haven't worked on it for about a year," says Whitta, "...The version I worked on was about going back to the source and doing the manga version. We were going to adapt the whole six-episode graphic novel." Of interest is the note that the project would encompass all six volumes of "Akira" creator Katsuhiro Otomo's manga. The famous 1988 anime adaptation was based primarily on the first two volumes. Whitta also made mention of Otomo's own (albeit slight) involvement: "We got notes from [Otomo] and we kept in touch, but we never had a formal meeting or anything. The script I worked on was very, very preliminary. We did a couple of drafts of the script but, when I was there at least, it never got wrapped up to the point where I think he would get really hands on." The film now appears to be in the hands of screenwriters Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby and it is unknown if they are starting from scratch or expanding on Whitta's work. "They don't keep you in the loop after you're done," says Whitta, "...now I go on the internet to find out what's happening with it like everyone else." [09.09.2009] Collider meldet... [...] According to my source, screenwriters Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby, guys whose work I like, are about to turn in their version of an "Akira" movie and the reason why the project has been so quiet is they’ve been hard at work trying to get the script right. For those that aren’t familiar with their work, they wrote the amazing adaptation of "Children of Men" and they’re also credited with "Iron Man" (although a lot of that movie was written on the set). But my point still stands that I like their work and I’m happy they’re taking a crack at it. Also, while I couldn’t get a lot of info about what changes are being made from the anime to make the feature film work, I did confirm the story is still set in post-apocalyptic Manhattan in the near future. I also confirmed the famous motorcycle is definitely a part of the film, but that bit of info shouldn’t surprise anyone. From what I could gather, the movie is still a priority for the studio, and if the script meets with approval from key people, the movie could go into production in 2010 with a release date in 2011. Also, this isn’t going to be some mid-range budget movie. If the film goes into production, it’s going to be one of those BIG event movies. Of course, everything I just wrote is based on a lot of factors, but that’s where the project currently stands. Anyone hoping for an "Akira" live-action movie should cross their fingers that Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby’s screenplay is great and everyone involved gets excited. [...] [15.06.2009] B-D meldet... It has been a year and a half since we broke the news [..] that Ruairi Robinson would be making his directorial debut on the live-action adaptation of Akira, a massive two-part apocalypse story that was being produced by Leonardo DiCaprio's Appian Way and Warner Bros. Pictures. Sad news comes in this weekend as we have learned that not only has Robinson left the project, but Tetsuo and Kaneda's adventure is "dead as a doornail," a report we've confirmed with two separate sources. I can only hope it gets revived in the near future as this could have been one of the coolest effin' movies ever. [...] The new story was to move the action to "New Manhattan," a city rebuilt by Japanese money and was to hit theaters THIS summer. "Akira" would have marked the feature directorial debut for Robinson who was nominated for a best animated short Oscar in 2001 for a sci-fi comedy called "Fifty Percent Grey." He also wrote and directed a sci-fi short titled "The Silent City" (watch it at BDTV), Robinson is repped by CAA and 3 Arts Entertainment. [09.11.2008] Bei Latino Review gibt es eine Kritik zu einem Drehbuchentwurf von Gary Whitta (Note: B)... [21.02.2008] Variety.com meldet... Warner Bros. 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. Legendary will co-finance with WB. Each feature will be based on three of the books in Otomo's series. The story takes place in New Manhattan, a metropolis that was rebuilt after being destroyed 31 years earlier. Otomo will exec produce the films. Graphic novel was first adapted for the bigscreen in 1988 as a popular animated film which Otomo directed. Studio has closed a seven-figure rights acquisition deal with manga publisher Kodansha and has set Ruairi Robinson to direct a script by Gary Whitta ("Book of Eli"). Andrew Lazar's Mad Chance will produce with Appian Way's Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Davisson. WB had the "Akira" rights several years ago only to let them lapse and then recapture them in a spirited bidding battle. Robinson, an Irish helmer who has been Oscar nominated for his short film and commercials work, is making his feature debut. The project was brought in by exec veep Greg Silverman, who has supervised "300" and "Batman Begins." [...] [30.10.2007] B-D meldet... One of the greatest post-apocalyptic thrillers ever told was the animated Manga Akira, which saw an announcement wayyyy back in July of 2003 that James Robinson would pen the adaptation with director Steven Norrington. I'm sure this has long passed, but we do have something official that just leaked to us through the grapevine, something that's going to blow your socks off. We've been informed that Warner Bros. Pictures is trying to get Akira off the ground pre-strike and have attached 29-year-old Oscar nominated Irish director Ruairi Robinson! No more details have been revealed other than he directed a mind blowing short film entitled The Silent City, which can be viewed over at BDTV. [...] [22.11.2004] Panini meldet...

[...] [29.09.2004] AICN verbreitet das Gerücht, dass Pitof ("Catwoman", "Vidocq") Regie bei der Live-Action-Verfilmung führen wird... [20.09.2004] DH meldet... Speaking with Allocine, "Steamboy" Director Katsuhiro Otomo claims to have read the first draft of the live action script of "Akira", which was "not very good" and so has asked for a lot of rewrites. [...] [03.08.2003] IGN FilmForce meldet... After a turbulent and unsatisfying experience making The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, director Stephen Norrington is calling it quits with Hollywood. According to a Los Angeles Times article two weeks ago, the forty-year-old director has written a letter to producers working on projects for him, letting them know he'll no longer be available. That means another snag for Warner Brothers' live-action Akira film, which Norrington had agreed to direct several months earlier. The latest issue of Wizard magazine has confirmed his quitting the project. "I have dropped out of all my Hollywood development deals because I want to pursue more creative avenues," Norrington told the publication. [source: Countingdown.com] LXG was only Norrington's fourth film, and it's not clear what he plans to do next. Warner Bros. say Akira is back in development, despite the setback. Hollywood scribe James Robinson is working on a script while the studio shops for a new director. Robinson also wrote the widely panned LXG, as well as 2002's Comic Book Villains. [11.10.2002] Bei JoBlo.com gibt es einen Kommmentar... [...] It's not an easy piece of work that can easily be adapted into a live-action format. But I trust Robinson, who by his own admission, is a "fan of the anime for many years." Robinson goes on to say, "I've tried to retain as many iconic elements of the anime as possible." It won't be easy to make a proper AKIRA remake but with Norrington and Robinson behind the plate (hopefully negating the Jon Peters effect) we'll be in good shape. [...] [10.10.2002] CS! meldet... Warner Bros. Pictures will produce a live-action, English-language remake of Japan's anime classic Akira. Variety says that Stephen Norrington, who has just wrapped The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, has reteamed with "League" screenwriter James Robinson to develop the project. Jon Peters will produce. Released in 1988, "Akira" was the brainchild of Katsuhiro Otomo, who directed the film and wrote the comic from which it stemmed. The remake will tell the story of a bike gang leader who must rescue his younger brother from his involvement in Akira, a secret government project. In the process, the biker must do battle with anti-government activists, greedy politicians and irresponsible scientists. Peters is currently busy ironing the red cape for Superman, which he is producing for Warners.
