Fresh off of directing their post-apocalyptic film starring Denzel Washington (that would be Book of Eli), the Hughes Brothers may be on board to direct yet another vision of a world torn apart by war and nuclear explosions.
According to New York Mag's Vulture, Warner Bros. is currently negotiating with the Hughes to direct a live-action adaptation of the manga Akira. Yes, that's right, an adaptation of the manga and not a direct remake of the 1988 anime -- and we're talking all six volumes. And, in order not to miss anything (important) in the shift from print to screen, Warner Bros. is planning on making two full-length features, with each part focusing on three volumes in the series.
While the studio hasn't given any official confirmation regarding wooing the Hughes Brothers to Akira, Vulture says we can expect to hear something this week.
