Adapted from a classic 70s Japanese cartoon, the live action movie Cutie Honey stars Sato Eriko and is one of the most talked about films in Japan this summer. The director for this film is the famed director of Neon Genesis Evangelion, Anno Kideaki, and the lead CUTIE HONEY is played by the sexy Sato Eriko, where she will be COSPLAY! The comic Cutie Honey began in 1973 about a girl with special powers that allows her to have the unusually strong fighting powers. Kisaragi Honey usually lives in a secluded boarding school, but when she is fighting crime, she does her switch moves, screams "HONEY FLASH!", and turns into the sexy and sweet CUTIE HONEY. This film will have some of the most advanced CG technology to date, showing this switch in the most seamless fashion.

The film's title theme song "CUTIE HONEY, SWEET FIGHTER" is performed by Koda Miku, an extremely popular song that most Japanese can sing along to as it is the same theme song from the anime series.
