Η Sunrise και η Legendary Pictures ανακοινώνουν κάτι που πολλοί φαν περίμεναν: ένα Live-Action Gundam. Και ναι, το γνωστότερο και παλαιότερο ‘μεγάλο ρομπότ’, το RX-78-2, ένα διάσημο Gundam mecha θα βγει στις οθόνες.
Μέσα από το Anime Expo officially στο Los Angeles Convention Center, μάθαμε πως η πρώτη ταινία Gundam είναι σε παραγωγή. Μέσα από το Sunrise πάνελ ο CEO του ιαπωνικού animation studio Yasuo Miyakawa ανακοίνωσε τη συνεργασία με τη Legendary Pictures.
Η ιστορία:
Legendary and Sunrise announced today at Anime Expo 2018, plans to co-produce the first-ever live-action feature film version of GUNDAM, based on Sunrise’s massively popular Mecha anime and science fiction media franchise. The billion dollar property was created in 1979 and has spawned a multi-platform universe encompassing televised anime, manga, animated films, video games, plastic models, toys, and novels among other media. Gundam continues to dominate master toy licensee Bandai Namco’s earnings almost forty years after its inception.
The original Gundam series is set in the Universal Century, an era in which humanity’s growing population has led people to emigrate to space colonies. Eventually, the people living in the colonies seek their autonomy, and launch a war of independence against the people living on Earth. Through the tragedies and discord arising from this human conflict, not only the maturation of the main character, but also the intentions of enemies and the surrounding people are sensitively depicted. The battles in the story, in which the characters pilot robots known as mobile suits, are wildly popular.
The story for the live-action version of Gundam is being kept under wraps. The project will be overseen by Cale Boyter on behalf of Legendary with the Sunrise creative team.
