Akira – a lengthy story

While the anime version (released in 1988) spans over the course of, at most, a couple of weeks, the manga version (1982-1990) spans over a greater period of time. Furthermore, the anime version skips many essential subplots from the manga.

At first, Warner Bros wanted to adapt Akira in 2 movies – the volumes 1-3 and the volumes 4-6. If indeed Nolan is working on this project and if indeed it will be a trilogy, it is more than welcomed.

However, we still don’t know what to say about westernizing the story without skipping anything from its origin. What do you think?

Will Christopher Nolan direct Akira on a script written by Johnathan Nolan? Moreover, will it be a trilogy? And then – even if these two are working on bringing Akira on the big screens, do we want it?
