Warner Bros. Studios remembered about Akira
Last week, rumors surfaced that Warner Bros. was considering nominations for Daniel Espinosa ("The Living") and David F. Sandberg ("The Lights Going Out ...") to direct " Akirs ". However, the site The Tracking Board now reports that the comedian and, more recently, the director, Jordan Peele are in talks with the major.Warner Bros. has been trying to get the film adaptation of Katsuhiro Otomo's classic manga off the ground for years. The studio was even preparing to start filming when Jaume Collet-Serra was still listed as the director of the film, and the main roles were given to Garrett Hedlund and Kristen Stewart. However, at the very last moment, work on the tape was suspended. Last year, WB bosses invited Justin Lean to lead the shoot, but he apparently never accepted the offer. The original manga, we recall, tells the story of a teenage biker named Tetsuo , who, once confronted with a child medium, himself acquired psychic abilities. The original story is set in New Tokyo, built on the ruins of the Japanese capital after its destruction by a nuclear explosion.  According to insiders, WB bosses have their eyes on Saw right after the release of the horror movie Get Out. The film, which became a directorial debut for Saw , not only delighted the critics, but also achieved a resounding success at the box office. With a budget of $ 4.5 million , the feed has already earned more than $ 150 million . Akira is produced by Leonardo DiCaprio Appian Way and Andrew Lazar ("Sniper"). The last version of the screenplay adaptation belongs to the authorship of Marco Ramirez (Sons of Anarchy, Daredevil), but if Peel still takes the director's chair of the project, he will probably make edits to the existing WB text.
