if any of you guys have seen and liked the 2004 Appleseed movie, those guys are at it again:

a longer trailer of sorts (mms://cinem.wmt.biglobe.ne.jp/cinem_wf/exmachina/exmachina_footage_1M.wmv)

if some of the gun action seems familiar it's cuz John Woo is producing the movie. Ex Machina isnt a direct sequel to the 2004 movie (even though it's by the same people) although they did decide to keep Bri/Deunan's relationship the same as the previous movie (they are lovers, but not in the manga). Digital Frontier (the CG studio) ditched the cel-shading style for this movie.

in the meantime here's another one of their productions which also happens to have UW in the soundtrack:

Huh. I was sad when you said it wasn't cel-shaded, because I liked that look, but this looks pretty close, anyway.

It does look like they pretty-much remade The Killer in the Appleseed universe, though. I hope Woo wasn't too involved...I'm a fan of his older stuff, but I think he's off his freaking rocker now.
