以《妖兽都市》、《兽兵卫忍风帖》 和《吸血鬼猎人D》闻名于世的日本动画导演川尻善昭的新作《Highlander: The Search for Vengeance》在制作了近2年之后终于要和观众见面了，但与之前宣告的作为剧场放映的电影不同，这部80多分钟长的动画片将于6月5日直接在美国发行DVD，分为普通版和特别版。3月14日该动画的官方网站放出了1分半的新预告片，从华丽的画面看仍然保持了川尻一贯的凌厉风格。
该系列影片的第5部《Highlander: The Source》也将于今年9月由狮门影业在北美发行。而率先于6月问世的这部动画版则是《Highlander》系列的制作人联手日本动画大师的一次崭新尝试。这部动画由与川尻善昭保持长期合作关系的日本MADHOUSE动画公司和专门发行日本动画的美国MANGA公司联合出品，香港意马动画公司（该公司也参与制作了即将上映的3D动画《少年忍者龟》）参与制作。采用和《吸血鬼猎人D》一样先在美国发行英语配音版、稍后在日本再推出日语配音版的做法，但不知道在日本是否会做剧场放映。

In Diciannove (translating to Nineteen), Giovanni Tortorici’s elegant, heartfelt, and daring debut, a curious student learns that the road to self-discovery is worthwhile, if not necessary, no matter how unfamiliar or daunting the path.
Eager to escape his overbearing mother and the only life he’s known, 19-year-old Leonardo (Manfredi Marini, who gives an exceptional performance), leaves picturesque Palermo to study in bustling London. His landing is buffered by his sister Arianna (Vittoria Planeta) and her roommate Grazia (Dana Giuliano), though the initial excitement of living abroad — and unrestricted partying — wanes quickly, and Leonardo finds himself enrolling at the University of Siena, focusing on Italian literature.
Back in familiar surroundings, he falls in love with the medieval city, but is not so keen on his literature professor. Seeking that indescribable feeling of knowing you’ve found your place — beyond just geography — Leonardo delves into the classics independently, spawning a soul-searching and deep interest in early modern authors like Pulci, Segneri, and Leopardi. Surrounding himself with beauty, vibrant youth, and new ideas — as well as images he’d previously repressed — his world blooms. A year into his unbound journey, Leonardo travels to Torino where he meets a man who, though much older, may finally be a contemporary — if not the key to unlocking his innermost desires.
Carter must prove to his mom that he can pay rent or he's out on the street. But when his boss dumps a list of impossible tasks on him, his fortitude, character, and aversion to wise-cracking teens is tested in this coming-of-age comedy.
