Fans of Millenium Actress and Tokyo Godfathers know who Satoshi Kon is and have been waiting a couple of full moons for his latest release. Selected as part of the 63rd Venice International Film Festival the anime opens in New York on May 25, 2007 and Los Angeles on June 1, 2007, before expanding nationwide throughout the summer. Today, Sony Pictures Classics has passed on the one sheet and trailers below.
Paprika is from an original story written by Yasutaka Tsutsui and based on the screenplay by Seishi Minakami & Satoshi Kon, Dr. Atsuko Chiba is a genius scientist by day, and a kick-ass dream warrior named PAPRIKA by night. In this psychedelic sci-fi adventure, it will take the skills of both women to save the world…The near future: a revolutionary new psychotherapy treatment called PT has been invented. A device called the “DC Mini” is able to act as a “dream detective” to enter into peoples' dreams and explore their unconscious thoughts. Before the government can pass a bill authorizing the use of such advanced psychiatric technology, one of the prototypes is stolen, sending the research facility into an uproar. In the wrong hands, the potential misuse of the device could be devastating.
