Collider is reporting that Warner Bros. Pictures is still developing a live-action adaptation of the hit Japanese manga and anime “Akira”, and has tapped Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby to write the script.

Akira is Katsuhiro Otomo’s six-volume manga series, and takes place in a post-apocalyptic city where members of a bike gang get involved in a battle between the mysterious psychic forces that are connected to the initial destruction of the city, the military government, and rebel forces.

The famous motorcycle used by the protagonist Kaneda, according to Collider, will definitely be a part of the film.
