Kenji Kamiyama to Direct Cyborg 009 CG Movie

Higashi no Eden & Seirei no Moribito director Kenji Kamiyama has announced plans to write & direct a feature length 009 Re:Cyborg film based on the late Shotaro Ishinomori’s classic Cyborg 009 manga. The Cyborg 009 manga was adapted into 1966, 1967, and 1980 feature films and 1968, 1979, and 2001 anime television series. Last year Director Mamoru Oshii produced the five-minute long CG film “009 the Reopening” as a publicity piece for Panasonic. Kamiyama has produced a short Cyborg 009 Pepsi Nex ad, and has now produced a Re:Cyborg pilot film.
