Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Director Albert Hughes recalls how the live-action Akira movie's bikes caused a fight with BMW. The Japanese manga series, adapted into an animated film back in 1988, explores Neo-Tokyo, following Shōtarō Kaneda as he attempts to stop his childhood friend Tetsuo Shima from using telekinetic powers against the city.
“I had to go to BMW in Munich and sit down with an American guy who’s the head kind of concept designer, and me and him get into a rumble. Like we’re literally arguing with each other because he’s trying to introduce this new technology that he’s trying to put into the vehicles, and I’m like ‘no, this is what I want right here. I just want your emblem. Like can you just sign off on this because I want’ - so he’s put his d--k on the table and my d--k’s on the table and I’m like ‘f--k this.
Taika Waititi is currently set to direct the live-action Akira movie, though there is speculation about whether it will come to fruition or not. In 2021, he mentioned his plans to get the project underway and while no updates have been provided, Akira will reportedly be Waititi's next film. The writer/director is best known for his work on Thor, and the Academy Award nominated Jojo Rabbit, for which he won the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay.
