GUNDAM Live-Action Movie in the Works at Legendary

ssss1QS.jpg


A live-action Gundam movie is in the works. Legendary Entertainment will co-produce a feature based on the the popular anime from the Japanese animation studio Sunrise. The announcement was made Thursday at the 2018 Anime Expo, which is taking place in Los Angeles.

The original Gundam series, which began in 1979, is set in the Universal Century, an era in which people have emigrated to space colonies because of a growing population on Earth. Eventually, the people living in the colonies seek their autonomy, and launch a war of independence against the people on Earth. Battles are fought by piloting robots known as mobile suits.

The massively popular series has led to multibillion-dollar sales in merchandise and licensing, including animated films, video games, plastic models, toys, and books. (Gundam had a cameo in Steven Spielberg's pop-culture-obsessed Ready Player One.)

The Gundam movie will be overseen by Cale Boyter on behalf of Legendary with the Sunrise creative team.

Too blocky. Give us a Robotech/Macross movie already. Its been 10 years since they got the movie rights
 
If they try to follow one of the storylines/timelines of the anime they're going to fuck this up really badly.
 
I imagine this will be a Warcraft level failure. Hopefully they go the route of 08th MS Team and follow a military team and not kids piloting gundams.
 
What I expect is

Generic mech movie with the Gundam name tacked on
 
There’s zero details, so there’s nothing to get excited about. But it’ll probably be a magnificent failure.
 
Ugh a bunch of negative Nancys itt.
 
Could be awesome, probably will suck. I just hope they don't go with a whiny teenage protagonist.
 
Inb4 whitewashing.
Or SJW because it's mutlicutural.
