Toei announced that the film remake of Space Pirate Captain Harlock anime will open this fall. The original manga is about Captain Harlock, who fights for humanity with his 40 crew members aboard the invincible space battleship Arcadia.
Writer Harutoshi Fukui (Mobile Suit Gundam UC) reconstructed the story to reflect the themes of modern society, and Shinji Aramaki (Appleseed) is directing with the latest filmmaking technology. This remake of the classic Leiji Matsumoto manga is reported to cost an equivalent of 30 million U.S. dollars, the highest production budget ever released by Toei Animation!
The Space Pirate Captain Harlock remake was initially announced back in 2010, and Toei even made a CGI movie pilot that was presented in the Tokyo International Anime Fair and at France's Annecy, the world's largest animation film festival.
