Though mostly known for horror movies like "Piranha" and the upcoming "Horns", filmmaker Alexandre Aja's long gestating dream project is a film adaptation of the Japanese sci-fi manga series "Cobra" (aka. "Space Cobra").
Several years ago he and Gregory Levasseur were teaming up to pen a live-action adaptation, and Cinema Blend recently asked him at Comic Con how it was progressing. Turns out the budget is the problem:
"It's a huge, huge project. Super expensive. Like $150 million-plus. It can only be done with a major movie star and most of them are not available for like five years. So we're still working and trying to make it happen."

Alexandre Aja is likely best associated with horror. With directing credits that include The Hills Have Eyes, Maniac and Piranha, not to mention the upcoming feature adaptation of Joe Hill's Horns, Aja continues to make a name for himself within the genre. But we learned a few years back that the director has his sights on an ambitious sci-fi project. When we sat down with him at Comic-Con to talk about his work, he gave us an update on his efforts to bring the Japanese manga series Cobra -- also known as Space Cobra, unrelated to G.I. Joe -- to the big screen. From the sound of it, this is a project with a very big budget, and thusly requires a very big star to take the lead. "It's a huge, huge project. Super expensive. Like $150 million-plus," Aja told us, when we asked what the progress was on the ...
