No details on the new Akira series, which will be released through Sunrise, were reported by the Hollywood trade. A 4K Ultra-HD release of the original film is due out April 24, 2020. Meanwhile a live-action adaptation from director Taika Waititi is set for a May 21, 2021 theatrical release. Otomo also announced a new film, Orbital Era - his third following 1988's Akira and 2004's Steamboy - which will take place in a near-future sci-fi world where teen boys navigate life on a developing space colony. Otomo himself is writing, directing, and designing the still in-production film. More information and a statement from Otomo himself can be found on Orbital Era's official website. orbital-era.com/en/en/
