Following the announcement of a remaster of the 1988 dystopian film in July last year, it’s now been revealed that the re-issue will include an added bonus disc. The AKIRA 4K Remaster Set has been upgraded from a two-disc to a three-disc package, which will include behind-the-scenes features, stills from the production storyboard, and clips from the musical force behind the soundtrack: Japanese music collective Geinoh Yamashirogumi. The AKIRA cinematic universe continues to expand in the form of art exhibitions, merchandising, and the resurrection of an unfinished videogame. Talks of a live-action remake of the cyberpunk thriller have also been circulating for some time, but it’s been plagued with production delays and could take another two years to hit screens.

I don’t know what I’m doing in fucking two days,” he told Variety on the Oscars red carpet. He added: “I think eventually it will happen. I’m just not sure if I’ll be doing it.” Watch a trailer for the re-issue below. Escape the algorithm! Get The DropEmail address SIGN UP Get must-see stories direct to your inbox every weekday.
