Anime director Kenji Kamiyama - who first rose to prominence thanks to his work on Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex and has since become one of the most reliable and successful directors in the biz - has announced his next feature with an extended promo video.
Kamiyama will be returning to the world of cybernetic action with a big screen version of Shotara Ishinomori's manga 009 Re:Cyborg. The story follows a group of nine cyborgs, each of them created by a shadowy organization for use as weapons against humanity. The group turns on their creators to protect the population instead, using the powers given them to fight their creators.
Mamoru Oshii created a short film based on this same material recently and the original manga has already spun off multiple films and anime series in the past. For a taste of Kamiyama's spin on things take a look at the video below.
