制片人 Andrew Lazar (Jonah Hex, Space Cowboys, Get Smart)在接受Collider.com 采访时，透露了其Akira 项目组雇请了一名新的作者，Albert Torres，协助导演 Albert Hughes (Menace II Society, From Hell, The Book of Eli)。 Lazar 说Hughes “正在与一批视觉艺术家概念化电影中”。 而当被问及该项目要实现制作而面临的高预算、及需要高级电影公司协助发行的风险时，Lazar 表示Warner Brothers 的管理层对此项目的兴致非常大，对导演Albert Hughes 的信心也是很足。
Akira happens to be something that Warner Brothers management loves. They see the value in the title. They see the value in the franchise, and what the underlying property meant. It’s a pretty seminal piece. And so they think that, with a guy who is a visionary director like Albert Hughes, it’s not pushing a boulder up the hill for Akira because, quite frankly, the studio is really enthusiastic about it.
Lazar 同时也确认了第一部电影将改编自大友克洋的原作漫画前三卷，而第二部（如果可能的话）将改编接下的三卷。
