I am sooo jealous of the Japanese.
They are making a movie from my favorite manga: Appleseed. Created by Masamune Shirow, it is about life in the post-apocalyptic world in which civilization is just starting to pop back up again. The leads are Deunan (a soldier) and her cyborg friend Briareos.

There were four volumes put out by Dark Horse, and the detail, environments, and personality of the main characters were just astounding. The preview that just came out indicates that they have captured the vastness of detail from the comic, as well as an intensity and extreme pacing that fits.
Here's the official Movie Site. Unfortunately its mostly in japanese, but there is enough english to do basic navigation and get to the trailers. Looks like release is April 17th.
