Jaume Collet-Serra
Inflated budgets seem to be Hollywood's latest serial killer as the giant green beast known as the almighty dollar sign has claimed yet another production ... stopping it dead in its tracks.
Remember our last story when I said nothing stays quiet on the interwebs for long? Here's another fine example for you! The synopsis for Jaume Collet-Serra's big screen adaptation of Akira has leaked online (that sounds so ... nasty), and it bodes really well for fans because it's as faithful as can be.
More could-be casting news coming in for Warner Brothers' big screen adaptation of Akira... apparently Gary Oldman is now out of the picture, and an offer is out for another gristly tough guy to take on what would have been his role.
More possible Akira casting news coming in from the good folks over at The Hollywood Reporter... With Garret Hedlund playing Kaneda, the gang leader, and an offer out to Kristen Stewart to play Ky Reed, a woman who is part of an underground movement to expose the government for turning orphans into living weapons (she also may possess some abilities herself), the big question is who will play Tetsuo, the young man whose latent powers will release the powerful being known as Akira.
You can add another name to the list of those circling a role in Jaume Collet-Serra's upcoming live-action adaptation of Akira. Oh, Bella. My how you've grown! Read on for the details.
Official confirmation has come for some casting news regarding ABC's "The River" which we told you about a few days ago. Fans will be treated to a bit of a paranormal reunion on TV when the show debuts on the easy to spell network.
With the news that Warner Bros. has given the live action version of Akira the green light, all sorts of casting rumors, etc., have begun swirling about. First up to the plate ...
Finally after months of talks Warner Brothers has given the long talked about live action adaptation of Akira the go ahead. Even better? Cooler heads have prevailed, and the hunt is still on for an actor to take the role. Sorry, Keanu.
ABC has been pretty quiet with regard to its plans for upcoming mid-season replacement "The River", but thanks to the magic of Twitter, we have some news as to a guest star who will be appearing on the show. It's none other than Paranormal Activity franchise star Katie Featherston!
Finally after months of searching a director has been found to helm Warner Bros.' big screen adaptation of the Japanese mega-hit Akira. So who's at the helm? We're pretty damned happy with the choice!
Just a day after releasing the roaring first footage from Oren Peli's "The River" for ABC, the official trailer and even some artwork have come our way. Interested? Grab your raft!
Bruce Greenwood, Leslie Hope, Jeff Galfer and Thomas Kretschmann star in the ABC Studios television project whose pilot episode was directed by none other than Jaume Collet-Serra (The Orphan, House of Wax).
Okay! Who's ready for the first teaser clip from "The River," a new horror show from Paranormal Activity creator Oren Peli for ABC? I know we are, and that's exactly what we have for you right now. Hold on tight.
Dracula a badass again? Oh lord, please say it's so! It's been a while since the original vamp had the proper amount of bite, but if director Jaume Collet-Serra is to be believed, that's all about to change.
In a recent interview with Aullidos Serra dropped the following on fans:
With films like Orphan and Unknown already under his belt, director Jaume Collet-Serra is quickly becoming a director to be reckoned with. What better way for the man to explore his talents other than to bring us a new production company?
And the cast for ABC's "The River" continues to grow. We take this as a good sign as the more characters there are, the higher the probability is that they will end up dead, dispatched in some hopefully heinous supernatural way!
