Nikkatsu's Live Action Gatch movie
It looks as though they might actually be doing it... finally!

(Thank you, Saturn, for the heads-up)

Woo! Thanks for sharing this! Love the cast so far, and frankly, after watching the latest TRON incarnation, I thought, why not live animation?
Now, the question is, when or if, it ever makes it to our shores...
Best news I've had all day.

Even though it's already dark, here, you've lightened up my day, LB! Many thanks go to Saturn, also! So, there's still hope! I knew it!

That's great! They did a fantastic job translating the feel of the Yatterman show to live action, so hopefully they can do the same for Gatchaman!

I think I will be the negative in the crowd, if you call it that. I will celebrate when the film actually becomes public. Until then I will remain on the sidelines not getting my hopes up again.
Thank you for the news though LB. I know a few others, who are not regulars here any more, to pass this information on to.

you're not being negative CD, you're being cautious. There has been so much false hope about this sort of thing that no one could blame you either.

CD, I'm with you. When the film is in post-production, and a release date is set, then when can get our hopes up. Until then, too much can happen to turn it around.
That they've gone this far, is good news, and it is nice to know that the franchise is still kicking beyond just the internet. However, I'll remain, cautious, too.

Ahhh, that is the word I am looking for ... I have been having a rough time today forgetting words all over ... trying to talk about what I am teaching and forgetting the names of units and the names of the documents they come from.
*shakes head ... shows how much is on my mind right now as I try to figure out this new grade, school, fill in paperwork and begin working on student reports.* But I am really enjoying my teaching once again.

I'll call myself cautiously optimistic. 
Glad you're enjoying getting back to teaching, cloud!

Ohhh, I had forgotten how much fun it can be when you have a bunch of students who WANT to learn. Even if they are only functioning at a lower than average grade level.
They want to please, and most of the time they are respectful of the teacher (me) and what I have to say. What I have to keep reminding myself of is they are only 6/7 year olds so they will still have lapses in rules - like yelling out answers and talking instead of working. Only with this group they are not doing it intentionally, it IS a mistake and once reminded of it they will quickly try to correct it. Many even apologize for their error.

That's awesome to hear, Cloud! I am so happy you have seemed to have found your feet again - I know how hard it was for you to decide to leave your 'home' to find another and that it has worked out is just fantastic!

That does sound great! I've done adult technical training, and it really is so much more of a pleasure to teach when people want to be there, rather than when they're forced to (either through school/law or work).

I just have to add my cheers, CD! I'm so very happy that things are eventually working out for you, after all the past turmoil, and that the job you so love doing is finally rendering you the desired satisfaction and peace of mind!

CD, I'm with you. This is one of the reasons I decided to teach at post-secondary level: the students are interested in learning and they *want* to be there. Even if they're only there because it's a required course, they want to get a passing grade, so they have an investment in learning the material.
I have on occasion taught to people who had no interest in what I was saying and no desire to be there... that's very tough to overcome.
As for the movie, Nikkatsu has had the rights for a number of years. What gets me excited now is the official announcement, release date less than a year away, and most importantly, a CAST. When you have actors signed on, that's a relatively late stage in the 'pre-filming' process.

In the back of my mind, I'll keep reminding myself that nothing is a sure thing until it's hit the theaters... but Nikkatsu is looking awfully committed, at this point, if they really are about to start filming.
I'm not exactly surprised that a Japanese actor has been cast as Joe, though he's supposedly Italian. As the actor would need to be fluent in Japanese, that would cut down the number of potential Joe-resembling actors. A case can be made too that with a surname like "Asakura," that Joe's family might have been of Japanese descent, even if they were living on BC Island.
I did a bit of googling to see what I could find on some of the actors...

That's wonderful! Even with their inevitable lapses, that attitude must make a tremendous difference for you -one that's far more encouraging and motivational.
