News website Deadline revealed earlier today that Albert Hughes, the co-creator of "The Book of Eli", had resigned from the staff working on the upcoming U.S. live-action movie re-imagining of the Japanese comic book series "Akira", due to so-called "amicable creative differences". However, Warner Bros., the company working on this film, indicates that it has interest in including Hughes on another film project and it now plans to look for a director to replace him at the helm of the "Akira" movie project while looking for replacements for the many staff workers who got removed from the project itself last week.
