terry the lone wolf Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 More concept art:[attachmentid=41416] [attachmentid=41417][attachmentid=41418][attachmentid=41419] [attachmentid=41420] And the next anime remake after Gatchaman:[attachmentid=41421] Quote
big F Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 Cool Hopefully as fans of the original are involved then hopefully we can get something worthy and faitful and not some Hollwood Smulch fest. If they are at least as good as the Gatchaman Collection DVD released a couple of years or so ago then they will be alright. Gatchaman or as I knew it in the 70`s Batle of the Planets was what got me into anime although at the time I didnt know what anime was. Keeping the 70`s style fashions but with a modern style flip on design build would be cool too. Maybe they should do a nod towards that R2D2 wannabe 7-Zark-7 and his Sony Aibo Dog 1-Rover-1 just to pay hommage to the BOTP link, afterall it was that and a couple of others broke anime to the western world. Just for the record I think the panties were actually white Gym knickers. I have £10 ready for release day. The whole TMNT thing snuck up on me as I only found out about it yesterday when I saw it advertised on a Bus. Quote
Jolly Rogers Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 As soon as I make my Hollywood break, I'll buy the right of Macross and do a live action DYRL movie. I'll hire the designers of Transformers the movie to redesign the VF-1s completely (I want them all chrome) and sign Justin Timberlake to play Hikaru MUAHAHAHA! Make sure Hikaru and Max do a duet of 'Dick in a Box'. Quote

terry the lone wolf Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 More prelim art(including UTOLAND City & Eagle Ken fighting a Gallactor robot) & logo featuring the Gatchaman Team! Also the announcement of whose writing the script! http://www.aintitcool.com/node/33008 Quote
F-ZeroOne Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 They need a script? "Galactor invents giant mechanical monster, attacks city" needs a script?! Quote
big F Posted June 16, 2007 Posted June 16, 2007 They need a script? "Galactor invents giant mechanical monster, attacks city" needs a script?! LOL Still the art work looks good so heres hoping. Quote
baronv Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 I hope they release a quick trailer or preview of the animation soon. Quote
EXO Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 I'm diggin this so far. I'm gonna check out TMNT to see how good these guys are. Quote
Mog Posted October 1, 2007 Posted October 1, 2007 I'm surprised no one has mentioned this latest piece of news: Link. Apparently, Paul Dini (one of the creative forces behind the awesome DC Animated Universe) has agreed to do the screenplay for Gatchaman. Thoughts? Comments? Quote

I heard the WB has signed a distrubution deal with Imagi for Gatchaman, TMNT 2, & Astroboy. Any news about the live action Gatchaman project directed by Takashi Miike? Edited October 1, 2007 by terry the lone wolf Quote
The Shade Posted October 1, 2007 Posted October 1, 2007 With Paul Dini on board and based on his track record with Batman TAS, this film suddenly has so much potential that I can't wait. Quote
EXO Posted October 1, 2007 Posted October 1, 2007 This and Iron Man has definitely my interest. I wonder if they're gonna try to collaborate with Alex Ross... his updated but faithful Gatchaman illustrations were too cool. It's exactly what I would picture a 3D G-force movie would look like. Quote
chowyunskinny Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 New Renders from the Creative Director of Imagi's Blog The new Gatchaman logo The Utoland, Joe's muscle car at the left corner. Car chase sence of Joe Galactor invade ISO the team in ISO lobby, Joe was arrested by ISO solider. For sure you know who is playing yoyo. The city look is inspired by HK Phoenix in Utoland, mission start! This Phoenix is a still work in progress version... This looks like it has some promise. Biggest departures I can see are with Ken the Eagle and the Phoenix. Looks like they bulked up Ken's character design, he doesn't look like the slender old version. The Phoenix looks more like the 90's OVA version, which I'm a little bummed about. Although the original 70's Phoenix is a little dated, it was just so Iconic looking. I think it would be cool if they kept the team goofing off between missions, with Jun and Jinpei rocking out on guitars and Joe and Ken playing Ping Pong, although I don't know if that was a Battle of the Planets thing they added or if it was in the original. Except now they'll probably have them playing Rock Band on the 360 and Wii Tennis instead Quote
EXO Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 I was hoping they used OG designs like they did with TMNT. Quote
Scream Man Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 This could be pretty cool. I liked Imagis TMNT. Quote

A lot of the design work looks similar to the New Captain Scarlet from a few years ago. (One of the most underrated CGI series of all time) The ping pong/ rock band thing was done by Sandy Frank for the BOTP version. I will admit that I am generally a purist when it comes to the Gatchaman series, (no Zark ever, please), BUT, I do think that the Hoyt Curtin music cues the Americans added were truly outstanding. I would love to hear some of them in the new feature but I know that this is not going to happen. Taksraven (BTW, Gatchaman should not be filed under "oldtimers", the series is the same age as me. :P Quote

Amen to that. I have trouble remembering what's Gatchaman and what's BOTP so I'm sure the fans that were'nt even born when it first aired will have similar troubles. BTW, Gatchaman should not be filed under "oldtimers", the series is the same age as me. Me too less of the old timers gags. This is the Anime that woke me up to Anime as a 5 year old all I wanted was to be in BOTP. I did'nt know what Anime was but I knew that this catoon was different from the rest of the stuff that was on in the 70's. If this is half as good as it looks then I'm happy. Quote
chowyunskinny Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 1st look at some animation in Motion Quote
taksraven Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 1st look at some animation in Motion Could somebody post some screengrabs or descriptions please, I am not going to be able to access Youtube until Friday night. AARRGH!!! Taksraven Quote
polidread Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 nothing much to see: a dog's eye view of some cars swerving away from the camera, after which the camera dollies up to see the bottom of the Amazing Rocketship Phoenix's rear thrusters then screen flashes white BAM! : the Gatchaman logo. it's just a VERY quick clip of The Amazing Rocketship Phoenix disturbing a multi layered highway with its presence.

Thanks greatly for the description, its appreciated. but...... "The Amazing rocketship Phoenix"???? Where did that title come from. GodPhoenix yes, but ????? Taksraven Quote
taksraven Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 New poster up.... Looks ok, but I don't think I like the idea of the helmet only covering the front of the head. But, that might just be the look for Joe. The armour looks alright, but I liked the idea in the original series that Gatchaman didn't have to be bulletproof, they just dodged the Galactor bullets. I reaaaallly hope that this film gets made. Hope Imagi does not go bust. Taksraven Quote
EXO Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 This has a July 24 release date. nm... it was that damn hamster movie.... Quote
taksraven Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 nm... it was that damn hamster movie.... Yeah, that G-Force crap. Sandy Frank should sue..... Taksraven Quote
Uxi Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 Favorite cartoon is a young kid. Still wish I had got a Unifive GodPhoenix when they were semi-affordable. Quote
AcroRay Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Still wish I had got a Unifive GodPhoenix when they were semi-affordable. I was fortunate to get one. Its a dream come true for my inner 10-year-old. There's a set of 6 diecast Gatchaman vehicles on the way including Red Impulse (forget offhand from who), but they're like $250+ for the set. Quote
promethuem5 Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 It's the Fewture set I think. I'm not nearly old enough to know anything about BOTP/Gatcha... Quote
Uxi Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 I was fortunate to get one. Its a dream come true for my inner 10-year-old. Sweet. The first darker blue/purple one with the fiery shroud or the second teal one that came with the bird/boomerang? Quote
Retracting Head Ter Ter Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Sweet. The first darker blue/purple one with the fiery shroud or the second teal one that came with the bird/boomerang? I think he means the 3rd one. I used to have it. Its a triangular combiner. Quote
