Appleseed will be directed by Shinji Aramaki and
produced by Fumihiko Sori (the director of last years hit
Japanese live action movie - Ping Pong; In addition, Sori
is also known for his work on James Cameron's Titanic).
Calling Appleseed "The world's first real-life-CG-anime
movie," Sori says, "It should be easier to empathize
with the characters due to the more realistic and three-dimensional
drawing." The movie will be 100% computer animated.
