The Sci-Fi-London Octoberfest 2009 event will
screen Kazuyoshi Katayama's anime film
adaptation of
Yuji Iwahara's
King of Thorn manga on October 24 at London's Apollo Piccadilly Circus theater.
King of Thorn's story follows Kasumi, a girl who was infected by a pandemic virus along with her twin sister Shizuku. Kasumi — but not Shizuku — was chosen to be among 160 people placed into cryogenic suspension until a cure is found. The 160 wake up in the dark future populated by monsters, and Kasumi must survive while she searches for clues on what happened to the world and her sister. Even though the film
held its world premiere at Spain's Sitges Film Festival on October 9, it has yet to open in Japan.

The event will also screen the British premieres of
Hideaki Anno and
Khara's
Evangelion 1.0: You Are (Not) Alone (Evangelion Shin Gekijōban: Jo),
Yasuhiro Yoshiura and Studio Rikka's
Time of Eve net anime,
Mamoru Oshii and
Production I.G's
The Sky Crawlers, and
Tomoki Kyoda and
Sunrise's
Eureka Seven - good night, sleep tight, young lovers -.
