The film, a remake of Mamoru Oshii’s manga series Kerberos Panzer Cop was previously filmed as two live action films The Red Spectacles (1987) and StrayDog: Kerberos Panzer Cops (1991). The more famous of the adaptations is the 1999 Hiroyuki Okiura anime Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade.
While the original was set in an alternative 1950s Japan, this remake will be set in a dystopian Korea of 2029, where plans to unite the two Koreas have been underway for years. The titular special force is put together to combat the anti-unification terrorist group known as The Sect.
