Later this year, Japan will get a live action adaptation of 009-1, a cyborg-filled manga created by Shotaro Ishinomori (Cyborg 009, Kamen Rider). But while it shares many themes, its creator, and a “009” in the title with popular anime and manga Cyborg 009, the plots of the two series are completely unrelated.
009-1 The End of the Beginning takes place in a world where the cold war never ended and has continued for 140 years. Mylene Hoffman, codename “009-1”, works for the western block as part of an all-female group of spies. To help her with her various missions, she has been outfitted with all kinds of cybernetic augmentations — including a pair of 9mm machine guns hidden in her breasts.
To see the trailer of the film, check out the video above.
009-1 The End of the Beginning will be released in Japanese theatres on September 7, 2013. There is currently no word on an international release.
