Agent X

Official Description
Agent X (Japanese; コード名: ジョーカー; Codename: Joker) is an upcoming HM original written and directed by Parrissianne Bell, produced by Haruto Miyano, and animated by Genius Inc. Unlike the other animations, it's only exclusive in Japanese. Luci Sakuragi will be playing as Rain Miyugi, Lucas Hale as the young hacker Player, and Cardlin Sanchez Jr. as the Japanese title character with a brief participation of Amree Aguinaldo as the older Rain, and Cardlin Sanchez as the older Joker.

Plot
Its plot covers the disappearance of a superior agent, Agent X, in Crescent Twinforce Institute, which is an organization of secret agents, spies, and private investigators. Agent X's daughter, Rain Miyugi, later teams up with a hacker of CTI, Player, and both of them search for an independent crime agent who goes mononymously by his codename, Joker.

Trivias

 * Agent X is the first- and so far only- HM original to have two titles for different languages; Agent X in English and コード名: ジョーカー (trans. Codename: Joker) in Japanese.
 * Coincidentally enough, the titles are the names for characters in the short, with Agent X being the missing person, and Joker as the notorious and independent crime agent.
 * In another version of the film, Rain and Player are siblings. This was scrapped for unknown reasons.
 * Agent X is the first sci-fi film HM had created, the rest are murder-mysteries and rom-com.
 * An earlier version suggests that Cj Sanchez is supposed to be Player, but since he couldn't actually speak Japanese, the role was then given to Lucas Hale, who can. Lucas on the other hand, was originally Joker.
 * Kaela Giddings and Jace Blanchett were picked to sing for the soundtrack.
 * The color scheme and palette of the film are mint, light teal, electric blue, white, and black.
