The first 30-second teaser had been released for director Mamoru Oshii's upcoming seven-part live action series The Next Generation Patlabor project. The series will be led by Erina Mano (Kamen Rider Fourze, Minna! Esper Dayo!).
Instead of a remake of the original, The Next Generation Patlabor will be a completely new story set in Tokyo, in the year 2013, following the "third generation" of Patlabor. The Tokyo Metropolitan Police has disbanded its Section 2 Division 1 of police robots, and Section 2 Division 2 barely survived the budget cuts due to the long recession.
The first part is set to premiere on April 5th, 2014 in the Shinjuku Piccadilly theater.
