Casshern the movie
I caught a reference to the anime-derived Japanese film, Casshern, on Airbag. Go see this trailer (Quicktime), it absolutely rocks. Somehow the Japanese language just sounds right for this sort of film.
Casshern is a live action version of the mixed media live action/anime classic from Japan. Known as Robot Hunter over there the graphics look simply stunning.
Now if it will only make it into American or European release. Preferably with an English soundtrack though I would make do with subtitles 'cause it looks so cool. It's due out this year but I can make neither head nor tail of Kanji so I cannot tell if its going to be a world-wide release or just Asia. The Web site is in Japanese but all the navigation is English. Very odd.
