A Release Date For Appleseed

No word yet on just how wide a release this will be but Film Threat is reporting that Geneon has set a release date of January 14th for Appleseed. This is a bit later than they were originally aiming for but I'm just happy that it will be getting theatrical screenings because this one looks like it really needs to be seen on the big screen ...

Based on a manga by Masamune Shirow - the man behind the classic Ghost in the Shell - Appleseed uses an entirely new method of CG animation and it looks goooooooooood. Check out the trailers on the Japanese site here.
