Rintaro Announces Next Project

Veteran director Rintaro (Galaxy Express 999, X movie) has announced plans to direct a Korean/Japanese co-produced 3D animated film about a Caucasian mother trying to rescue children that have been transported to an alternate world of Asian myth. Rintaro stated that his goal on the picture is to “defeat Hollywood” by making a work that will “express characteristically Asian feelings.”

The Rintaro directed 3D anime film Yona Yona Penguin will hit Japanese theaters in December. Rintaro also directed the Wolverine pilot anime that premiered this past July.
