A draft for Akira

As said, over the course of years, there have been quite a few people involved in bring Akira on the big screens. Most notably, we can remind of Keanu Reeves, Garrett Hedlund (Tron Legacy, Pan), and Kirsten Stewart. At one time, Leonardo DiCaprio’s production company, Appian Way, was announced for Akira.

But, most recently, another name interests us. A draft of the movie was written or was supposed to be written by Jonathan Nolan – and, as we all know, the brothers almost always work together. So Akira may end up under the Nolan Brothers’ pen and lens.

But why a trilogy?
