Chris Weston, a storyboard artist who worked on the
live-action film adaptation of Katsuhiro Otomo's Akira manga, posted some of
his storyboards for the planned film on Wednesday. These new storyboards
feature Tetsuo and the cryogenic chamber. Chris Weston commented on the
storyboards on his blog, noting that "hopefully they reveal just how much
love we had for the source material and how faithful we were going to be to
it."
Storyboard artist Jeffrey Errico previously posted
storyboards for the opening title sequence of the film.
In January, the entertainment trade magazine Variety and
the film news website Deadline both reported that Warner Bros.' adaptation of
the manga is not finished, even though the film's pre-production has been shut
down.
Variety had added in January that Warner Bros. wants the
current script draft, which was written by David James Kelly, to be reworked.
Warner Bros. officially green-lit the film for production
last October with director Jaume Collet-Serra (Unknown, Orphan, House of Wax).
When the project was originally announced in 2008, it was intended to be the
directorial debut for Ireland's Ruairi Robinson. Actor Leonardo DiCaprio
(Titanic, The Aviator) is producing through his Appian Way production company.
