Live-action Akira gets Irish director?
Tuesday, October 30th, 2007 by anikiHere’s an interesting one: Empire is passing along the rumour that Irish director Ruairi Robinson has been signed up by Warner Bros. to direct a live-action version of Akira. Robinson hasn’t got any previous experience directing features, but you can see his rather violent and visually impressive short film The Silent City on YouTube, and download his Oscar-nominated CGI short Fifty Percent Grey from his official website.
