Production halted once again on "Akira"

I've long been a fan of the original manga and so it's disheartening to me that a project like "Akira" is having so much trouble getting off the ground. For the third time in its troubled production history the film has had the brakes put on by producers with most of the staff being sent home to wait and see. No one seems to agree on exactly what happened this time. Some say its a budget issue, others that producers weren't happy with the script. While I don't doubt that making a compelling live action version of the classic Japanese comic is no small task you'd think that someone at Warner's would take the bull by the horn and get the project moving forward in a sustainable way. Maybe they're just trying to figure out how they can tweak the story to allow for plenty of zombies and vampires.

Once again "Akira" told to power down.
