- Akira is an upcoming cyberpunk film based on the Japanese manga of the same name by Katsuhiro Otomo, and is the second film adaptation following the 1988 anime version. The film will be directed by Taika Waititi, who co-wrote the script with Michael Golamco. Warner Bros. Pictures, which has held the rights to a live-action version adaptation of the manga since 2002, has repeatedly struggled to get production off the ground over various concerns, leaving the film in development hell. In 2017, Waititi was announced to direct and co-write, with production to start in 2019, and scheduled for release in 2021. However, just prior to production, Waititi put the project on hold to direct Thor: Love and Thunder (2022), delaying the project indefinitely. (en)
