In an interview with Telerama about the new “Steamboat” theatrical movie, Akira creator Katsushiro Otomo mentions that Catwoman director Pitof will be helming the big screen version.
The live-action Akira is about a biker gang who must stop a buddy from using the superhuman powers he acquired from a government experiment.
Stephen Norrington was previously attached to direct the movie.
