FUNimation is gearing up for the July 28th, 2015 debut of 009 Re:Cyborg theatrical feature on home video as it’s getting a combo DVD and Blu-ray release priced at $34.98. We learned previously that NYAV Post was handling the dub for this, which is likely due to it being set for a wide range of licensors around the world that bought in on it for their respective territories, and now the first dubbed trailer has arrived for the project. The English language adaptation has Michael Sinterniklaas and Anthony Tortorici directing it. The film was animated by Production I.G. and SANZIGEN and was directed by Kenji Kamiyama, who also handled the screenplay for it. Gatou Asou handled the character designs and Kenji Kawai produced the music for it.
Extras for the release include an xclusive 44-Page Interview and Data Booklet, Special Prologue, Promotional Video, Teasers, Theater Ad, and Trailers.

Plot concept: Many years ago, nine humans were captured and transformed into cyborgs for the purposes of becoming agents of evil. Instead, they rebelled, becoming champions of justice anytime the earth was in need. Now, in a post-9/11 world, the meaning of “justice” has become clouded. The cyborgs, untouched by time, and some without memory of their status as heroes, have since taken up lives as ordinary civilians. But when a mysterious force known only as “His Voice” compels people across the world to commit unspeakable acts of violence, even cyborg 009, Joe Shimamura, falls victim to the irresistible faceless power. In an era when cyber-terrorism is rapidly advancing, how can the cyborgs combat an enemy that has no face, no weapons, and seemingly no motive?
