Warner Brothers have announced a live action remake to 'Akira', which will hit cinemas in two parts in 2009.
The original Japanese film was to a large extent responsible for introducing anime to a western audience, and has been a major influence on sci-fi flicks since. How well the film will adapt as mainstream summer blockbuster is not easy to predict however, and the original story will no doubt be substantially reworked.
