Taiwan International Comic Expo Reveals New Stills From Patlabor Film

The Taiwan International Comic Exposition has unveiled the full version of a new still from the live-action Patlabor film, a 1988 anime and manga that centered around the special robotics force of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police as they solved various cases in a then-near-future of 1998. There have been several anime films, anime series, mangas, light novels and video games to date. 

Tohokushinsha Film Corporation announced at France's Japan Expo last month that Mamoru Oshii is involved in next year's live-action project of HEADGEAR's Mobile Police Patlabor anime.

The film is currently slated for a 2014 release and has secured the involvement of the anime's original director, Mamoru Oshii (Ghost in the Shell). Oshii has past experience directing live-action features but it is unknown whether he will actually direct this project or is merely on board as a consultant.
