Double whammy

Yesterday saw two announcements that had rwm's cinematic heart all aflutter. First, David Fincher has signed on to direct an adaptation of Charles Burns' excellent graphic novel Black Hole co-written by Neil Gaiman and Roger Avary.


Secondly, Warner Bros. seems to be finally moving ahead with not one but two live action Akira movies under the direction of debutant Ruairi Robinson who nailed the gig on the strength of his short films The Silent City...



and the Oscar-nominated Fifty Percent Grey...



rwm will be following the progress of these two projects very closely.
