‘Akira’ Production Put on Hold by Warner Bros. – Variety

 

[Navjot Singh]

Warner Bros. has put its long-in-development “Akira” adaptation on hold indefinitely, sources tell Variety.

Warner Bros. found this week’s announcement of Waititi directing “Thor 4” to be surprising, with one person adding they were caught off guard by Waititi’s decision to focus on the Marvel property as “Akira” was getting closer to production. The studio hopes that “Akira” can get back into production once he’s done filming “Thor 4.”

Waititi was in the midst of meeting with young Japanese actors for “Akira’s” two lead roles. While the studio originally delayed production to give him time to find the right talent, it now seems there may have been more creative disagreements over the project.

I am willing to bet my life that this is a fan-made poster. Akira is supposed to be a live-action movie. The image in the poster is from the original Manga of Akira.

What’s happening with the live-action remake of “Akira”?
The whole thing went on hold. We had to keep pushing the dates, and it encroached on the “Thor” dates, which were immovable. So “Akira” ended up shifting two years down the track.

Post-“Thor”?
Post-“Thor.” So I’m not sure if even in two years I’d be — I don’t know what I’m doing in f—ing two days.

It may not happen, you mean?

I think eventually it will happen. I’m just not sure if I’ll be doing it.

There. Akira is not coming for another 2 years.
