I've also picked this up from an ad posted at ANN.
One of Masamune Shirow's older works, Appleseed has been remade from the ground up using 3D computer graphics and a much more intense storyline.
Shown in Japanese theaters last April, it is now about to come to America, thanks to Geneon Entertainment. The first stop: the big screen. It will first appear in theaters beginning January 14th.
I am currently trying to obtain a theater list.

On January 14th, a few select theaters around the US will be bombarded by anime, once again. This time, however, it won't be the somewhat familiar works of Shinichiro Watanbe, but the not-so-familiar work of Masamune Shirow. More specifically, the new 3D rendered Appleseed movie. The movie takes place in the year 2131, where the rest of humanity is locked in a war with an army of machines who were once domestic servants. Soulkool is doing another promotion with this movie, so you can sign up to spread the word and hopefully get some free swag here. More info can be found here.
It doesn't say where it will be released, but in my email from soulkool, it says something about New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Honolulu, and Miami.

Anime isn't that huge in america as comics are. You have to realize that.

That's true... but still, anime will never get big in America if no one is willing to take a chance!!!

See the way I see it....a couple more mainstream anime movies such as Spirited Away <which i think is overrated by the way> and some more cult hits like Ghost in shell. And a little less of Yu-gi-oh and Digimon <or whatever the hell is on WB>. Anime can actually become popular.

You mean <i>Pokémon</i>. Fortunately, it's withdrawn from the theaters. But if you look at the numbers from <i>Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence</i> in North America, you come to think that anime isn't all <i>that</i> hot yet. Perhaps down the road, but not yet.
