Bummer. I think he's one of the few directors who could pull it off, good.

I'd never thought about Miller for this, but he's the first name I've heard that would've made me perk up my ears for this project. To even have a prayer of getting Akira right, you need exactly the kind of action he can deliver, but it can't be mindless spectacle for spectacle's sake.

Oh well; this project remains the Sargasso Sea of Hollywood.

I think the WB might as say the project should be abandoned considering the development limbo it's been in. But no, I think they will just give some BS answer that is continuing on.

George Miller is a multifaceted director. He directed Happy Feet.

He also worked on Babe of all things.

As for him not directing Akira, words cannot express how disappointed I am. Would have shown up at midnight for that.
