Appleseed「POSEIDON Project」News

It's no April Fool's joke folks~ Appleseed producers Micott & Basara's website was updated with some news on the planned Appleseed sequel and TV series today! Aside from reporting the new collaboration project (the presence and involvement of the internationaly acclaimed HK Director John Woo seems to be hogging much of the limelight though!) which was announced in a press-conference on 31st March 05, little else is revealed about the Appleseed Sequel and TV series. So it is confirmed that the new Appleseed production team will comprise Micott & Basara, Lion Rock Productions and Axis Entertainment.

This however, is new. The new Appleseed movie sequel and TV series project will be called the「POSEIDON Project」. The report highlighted again the partial participation of John Woo in directing, character design, action scene choreography etc in addition to Shinji Aramaki's direction of the new series. Also included are some background on the other parties involved in the project - Lion Rock Productions and Axis Entertainment. No details again on the planned contents of these new Appleseeds. All we have so far is still Shinji Aramaki's hint of new animation techniques and style... Expected release is scheduled for Summer 2006.

MSHP Notes: By the way, no mention of Shirow sensei's involvement in this new project also. For context, "Poseidon" in Shirow's manga world typically meant "corporate" Japan in his future stories. In Appleseed Poseidon refers to a nation in the east with fast developing technological advancements and is being closely monitored by Olympus. Doric works as a spy for Poseidon. Most recently of course, Poseidon Industrial surfaced in Shirow's world as employer of sexy network hacker / lifeform Aramaki Motoko (GITS2: MMI).
