AKIRA TV Series in Development?

For years now, there’s been talk of turning the classic Manga/ Anime, Akira, into an American movie. At one point, there was even talk of making recent Oscar winner Leonardo DiCaprio, Keneda. Now, Katsuhiro Otomo, the creator the manga and director of the film, dropped a bomb on fans at a French comic con recently when he revealed that he’s working on a TV adaptation of Akira.
