SYNOPSIS __________

Plot:
This is a fully computer generated (CGI) version of Masamune Shirow's classic comic book, "Appleseed."

Officer Deunan Knute and her cyborg partner Briaros Hecatonchires must prevent terrorists from gaining control of the Olympus city computer and causing massive chaos. As they fight to stop the terrorists and preserve their society, the question of who is actually in the right--their society, or the "terrorists"--continues to arise.

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.
