Amazing 'Cobra: the Space Pirate' Poster Shows Man With Gun Hand

Early this week a concept poster for the Alexandre Aja directed live-action film adaptation Cobra: the Space Pirate (2013) was released and it shows a man with a gun for a hand smoking a cigarette.

The film, based on the popular manga cartoon show Space Pirate Cobra is described this way:

The film follows the eponymous rogue space pirate, a man who has surgically altered his face and erases his own memory to hide from his enemies. Cobra gradually regains his memories and unites with his old partner Lady Armaroid and his ship Tortuga. Together, the two set off on an adventure to recover a lost treasure on Mars - Coming Soon
If you're wondering what's with the gun-hand Wikipedia explains it:
Cobra's signature weapon, the "Psycho-gun", is a cybernetic arm-laser which connects directly to his brain. The Psycho-gun can target putative enemies without having a line-of-sight.
You can watch the cool Manga opening below and while I know nothing about the show you can bet I'll be following it with interest. IMDB lists virtually nothing, so I can't give any details till it gets updated.

It's set to be released 2013.


How sweet looking is this poster? Have you heard of this show before?
