What's Happening With The Live Action Akira Movie, According To Taika Waititi

What's Happening With The Live Action Akira Movie, According To Taika Waititi

Hollywood doesn't have the greatest track record with making live action adaptations of anime properties, but much like with video games movies, the industry continues to churn them out every now and then in the hopes that one will finally break the trend. For over a decade, Warner Bros has been attempting to get a live action Akira movie off the ground, and last September, it was reported Thor: Ragnarok director Taika Waititi was being eyed to bring the project to life. Seven months later, Waititi is officially attached to Akira, and now he's revealed that rather than remake the 1988 animated movie, he plans on adapting the original manga. Waititi stated:

I haven't really started to get my head around it yet. What I wanted to do was an adaptation of the books, 'cos a lot of people are like, 'Don't touch that film!' and I'm like, 'I'm not remaking the film, I want to go back to the book.' A lot of the people freaking out haven't even read the books, and there are six gigantic books to go through. It's so rich. But Akira is one of my favourite films; my mum took me to see it when I was 13 and it changed my life.

Take Waititi clearly has a lot of love for the Akira saga, but rather than look to the film he grew up on for inspiration, he'll turn to to the main source material, which was published from 1982 to 1990. Six volumes of material is a lot more to work with compared to a movie a little over two hours long, but its also allows Waititi more room to put his own unique stamp on the material for a live action movie. Waititi also isn't interested in following in the footsteps of movies like Ghost in the Shell by whitewashing the cast, as he previously said that he would cast "Asian teenagers" in the main roles and keep Akira tied to its Japanese roots.

All this being said, don't expect Akira to be the next project Taika Waititi will direct. As he mentioned later during his conversation with Dazed Digital, he's heading to Prague to begin work on Jojo Rabbit, which is about a boy growing up during World War II and creates an imaginary friend that is an amalgamation of his father and Adolph Hitler, who Waititi will play. It was also announced a few years back that Waititi is working on a stop-motion movie called Bubbles, starring the chimpanzee of the same name that once belonged to Michael Jackson. Nevertheless, while it may be a while until Taika Waititi finally puts Akira into production (and that's assuming he doesn't end up leaving the project, like so many before him), it sounds like he's already forming ideas on how he wants the cyberpunk tale to look in a live action setting.

CinemaBlend will bring you any major updates concerning Akira as they come in. In the meantime, you can check out Taika Waititi's latest directorial endeavor, Thor: Ragnarok, on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital HD now, and for those of you wanting to know what movies are coming out later this year, check out our 2018 release schedule.

Wait, Is Harley Quinn Not Part Of Suicide Squad 2?

Wait, Is Harley Quinn Not Part Of Suicide Squad 2?

Following 2016s Suicide Squad, it seemed like was constantly reported or rumored that DC had another Harley Quinn-centric spinoff film in the works. Margot Robbies character was the clear breakout in David Ayers film and she will clearly be a major presence in the DCEU going forward. One movie she may not be a part of however, is ironically Suicide Squad 2.

Margot Robbies Harley Quinn is not expected to return for the sequel to Suicide Squad, according to Forbes Mark Hughes. The sequel is being treated more as a soft reboot or a relaunch of the Suicide Squad as opposed to a direct sequel to David Ayers film. As such, it may avoid referencing the events of the first film and is expected to have a new cast of characters.

Guardians of the Galaxys James Gunn is on board to write and direct the film, which is expected to take a different approach to the property and will thus bear the title The Suicide Squad as opposed to Suicide Squad 2.

Its too early to know whether the cast for James Gunns movie will be entirely comprised of new faces, or if some of the characters from the first film will carry over. But if they do, it looks like Harley Quinn will probably not be among them.

This is a fairly big deal considering that Suicide Squad, while panned critically, was very successful financially with Harley Quinn becoming the fan favorite character and the clear standout. Without her, The Suicide Squad will have to succeed and draw in audiences on the strength of the other characters, as well as James Gunns name.

We recently talked about who should and shouldnt return for Suicide Squad 2, and it was CB writer Sarahs belief that Harley Quinn is the one character that has to return for the sequel, given her popularity and how she was the heart of the first film.

There is also the fact that by the time The Suicide Squad hits theaters, Margot Robbies character will have also appeared in Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn). So her profile and fan investment will have only risen and her inclusion in Suicide Squad 2 could only help the developing project.

However, it seems that DC wants to pretend that Suicide Squad didnt happen, and give James Gunn a completely blank slate with which to work for it the same magic he did for Marvel with the Guardians of the Galaxy films. Therefore it would kind of make sense for Harley Quinn not to return.

It is too early to definitively say who will and who wont be in Suicide Squad 2, so it is possible that James Gunns script will include her. But these reports will give the fandom reason to pause.

Although Harley Quinn is not expected to return for Suicide Squad 2, fear not because DC is still very much in the Harley Quinn business. The Joker and Harley Quinn movie has apparently been discarded, along with Jared Letos solo Joker movie, but Harley still has Birds of Prey and who knows what will happen with Gotham City Sirens. Shell be around, but shes on to new things and may not be returning to the Suicide Squad.

The Suicide Squad arrives in theaters on August 6, 2021. For movies to keep you entertained until then, check out our 2019 Release Schedule.
