009-1 Live-Action Movie Revealed

009-1: The End of the Beginning, a live-action adaptation of the late Shotaro Ishinomori’s 1967 sci-fi espionage action manga, will hit Japanese theaters on September 7. Koichi Sakamoto (Daikaiju Battle: Ultra Ginga Densetsu the Movie) directs Mayuko Iwasa (Detective Conan, Nodame Cantabile) playing Mylene Hoffman, the cyborg secret agent 009-1. The manga was previously adapted into a 13-episode anime television series in 2006.

I’m a little disappointed that the movie didn’t try to emulate Mylene Hoffman’s hairstyle from the original manga.
