While at a junket for his new movie, Run All Night, director Jaume Collet-Serra says that development on the live-action Akira movie has stalled. Just last year, Collet-Serra was reportedly actively developing the project but he told Collider that he's going to take a break after filming Non-Stop and Run All Night back-to-back. With that news in mind, is the live-action Akira movie officially dead? Collet-Serra says that he's unsure and that it's something that WB must decide. However, if the project does begin anew, it sounds as if Collet-Serra won't be directing as he's a bit burned out after directing two films in three years. Back in January 2012, Warner Bros. shutdown production on the live-action Akira film, despite securing a talented cast that included Garret Hedlund, Ken Watanabe, Helena Bonham Carter and Kristen Stewart.
