As reported by The Hollywood Reporter earlier, Warner has given up the Akira movie adaptation,and the rights have reverted back to Kodansha;

There's still a chance someone else might pick up the rights.

The Akira live-action rights have been like a coral reef that ships kept running into and sinking. Glad they finally had the good sense to stop burning money on this.

Was this Zaslav's fault, perhaps?

What a shocking turn of events that no one could ever have predicted.
