Warner Bros. have confirmed that they 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.

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. To keep the feel of the graphic novel...Otomo will be the executive producer on the films. Ruairi Robinson to direct a script (which will be his feature debut) by Gary Whitta (Book of Eli).

Manga fans will know that the graphic novel was first adapted for the bigscreen in 1988 as a popular animated film which Otomo directed.


If I hadn't seen Kill Bill...I would probably be a tad sceptical about this proposed live-action project. But I think they just might pull it off!
