After several attempts to bring the project to life, it looked as if the planned live action Hollywood remake of AKIRA was dead last year, when the plug was pulled after the budget proved to be rather high. At the time, director Jaume Collet-Serra was attached to direct the movie (off the back of his success with the Liam Neeson-headlined Unknown), and Garrett Hedlund had been earmarked to star. Rumor has it though that Warner is currently in negotiations with Collet-Sera to revive the project.
