Apparently this movie,
which is currently slated for release only in Japan, is a
live-action version of a classic anime story. Looks like these
folks have decided that after the somewhat disappointing (but
beautiful) CG movie
Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, live action is the
way to go. All I can say is that
the trailer
looks amazing, and makes me hope that a subtitled version will
eventually reach the U.S. Heck, I might even watch this one
without subtitles (ok, not really, but it it's close).
