It seems like they're telling a brand new story to make it more accessible to a wider audience this time around as the movie doesn't take place in the same .hack universe we know from the anime series, PS2/PSP games and manga. The game character Kite, whose player was a boy in the original PS2 games, belong to a 14-year old girl named Yuuki Sora in this movie. The technology appears to be more advanced too (using glasses to connect to The World instead of the bulky visor is cool!). .hack//The Movie opens in theaters (in Japan) next January.
On a side note, the characters in the trailer remind me a lot of the three main characters in The Girl Who Leapt Through Time.
