With the recent release of Ghost in the Shell not faring very well at the box office, we're curious what the future will hold for other live-action projects based on manga and anime source material that are currently in development. The most notorious of the bunch is the long in the works attempt at adapting Katsuhiro Otomo's beloved Akira, the manga turned 1988 anime set in a post-apocalyptic Tokyo (Neo-Tokyo!) which centers on a motorcycle gang of rebellious youth who must stop one of their members from running amok after he acquires dangerous telekinetic powers.
A live-action Akira movie has been in development for 15 years at Warner Bros. as many different filmmakers have attempted to get it made -- we're talking five directors and potentially 10 different writers that we know of. As recently as last month, in fact, Get Out's Jordan Peele was reported as being courted by Warners for the film (other recent names rumored for Akira have included Lights Out's David Sandberg and Life's Daniel Espinosa). Let’s break down the history of this film and its seemingly unending development hell.
