I was a huge fan of their more recent work, THE BOOK OF ELI, and have followed their careers since they burst onto the scene with MENACE TO SOCIETY at the tender age of 21.
A quick glance at their IMDB pages reveals that they have split before but it doesn't really seem to be the magic formula for the duo who have received far better praise for films they've produced together. This year at SXSW I posed the question of parting ways to the recently-on-the-radar Duplass Brothers who outright said they had no desire to ever split and felt they had adapted their talents to necessitate feeding off of eachother. The report is kind of vague and hints that they may still both have their hands in the project - I for one hope that turns out to be true.

The big man himself over at AINT IT COOL NEWS is reporting that Albert Hughes will helm AKIRA sans his brother, and directing partner, Allen. Now I know there are plenty of others on this site better suited to discuss the AKIRA aspect of this story so I'll leave that to them but what comes is a disapointment to me is that the Hughes Brothers have once again went solo.
