New Gatch film
Another topic we lost was the discussion and links to information on the new Gatch film.
Should we at least repost the links?

Right? I'd really like to see it. Of course, this is adding another "We announced it early, but there's this really cool movie based on one of your favorite childhood entertainment movies coming out in a few years," film.
Brian Froud is working on Dark Crystal 2, there's a CG/live-action version of The Last Unicorn coming out, and, of course, the Gatch film. I think they're all slated for 2008. >_< Phooey.

Dark Crsytal 2. Interesting. DI hope they use the Henson Workshop again. Also, The Last Unicorn? Remind of me of that one again. I think I may have seen it but can't remember. Long, long time ago.

I still think that they are better off doing more than 1 Gatchaman/BOTP film as they can carry on the story into 2 movies and not just ruin it by cutting it into just 1 film which lasts about 1 hour 30 mins to 2 hours.

Here is the latest information from Wendy on the BOTP site...
> About a week ago, I received a surprise contact from the folks at
> Imagi (the studio behind the possible release of a 2008 Gatchaman
> feature film), along with an invitation to tour their US office and
> talk with director Kevin Munroe before Comic Con. I arrived in San
> Diego Monday, and Disturbed was able to drive me from there to LA on
> Tuesday for our meeting appointment. This was a terrific opportunity
> to see what is going on with the property.
>
> Imagi is a small production company based in Hong Kong with the
> management office in Los Angeles. They are also working with the
> Japanese production company Mad House (you've seen the work of Mad
> House on various animated productions, including the latest Vampire
> Hunter D and an upcoming release called Highlander). When we
> arrived, slightly early, we were shown an introductory video that
> included a scene from the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles feature
> film and an upcoming (currently shelved) project called Cat Tale.
>
> After the demo videos, we were taken into the basement. I was
> expecting just to see people working at computer stations, but
> the "bullpen" was much like the animation studios I'd toured in
> Japansmall, intimate, casual, and full of wonderful creative
> clutter and busy artists drawing. I found myself looking at a full
> wall of Gatchaman concept sketches and another full wall with
> storyboard for a Gatchaman demo film. Too many images, too little
> time!
>
> I was warned that the concept sketches were in their pre-early
> stages and would go through countless revisions before production
> begins, so I won't say much about the character designs right now.
> At this point, the characters looked pretty generic, and I hope
> they'll look closer to the originals later in the game. The artists
> in the bullpen were busy working on props, backgrounds, mechas and
> weapons, and the sketches I saw lean toward a dark, gritty portrayal
> of the Gatchaman universe. The artists want to dig deeper into the
> science behind our Science Ninja Team and offer a deeper look at
> their weapons and techniques, including a closer look at how the
> heroes "transmute" into Birdstyle. The Birdstyles themselves will
> look closer to actual fighting gear than the old capes and tights.
>
> On a neighboring wall were storyboard drawings for a Gatchaman demo
> film. From what I could see, the action resembles what's on the NTT
> commercials, and takes the action to the next level. Savage fighting
> scene with Joe, neat scene of Ken diving from on-high. This art had
> been done by a former Tatsunoko animator who'd worked on the
> Gatchaman OAV. In fact, much of the staff had been professionally
> inspired by the Gatchaman series in one way or another.
>
> From there, we moved to Kevin Munroe's office, where lunch was set
> up, for a Q&A session. At this point, Gatchaman is in pre-pre-
> production stage. The story has not been written yet, but we were
> assured that it wouldn't be yet another rehash of the Gatchaman
> series (in other words, no more retelling of Gatchaman vs. Turtle
> King). The basic idea was a kind of origin story a la the movie
> Batman Begins that shows how the team went from trainees to Science
> Ninja. Character development will definitely be Gatchaman--not
> BotP "with teeth." The story will take place on Earth, not "beyond
> space." Imagi is going for a "hard PG/PG-13" rating with this
> feature, and we discussed the issue of the target age group. Kevin
> and the rest of the staff stuck me as knowledgeable of the original
> Gatchaman universe and tremendously psyched about the project. Most
> important: they are interested in what the fans have to say. Imagi
> would like to set up a forum for the Gatchaman film project, and
> they are keeping an eye on the BotP mailing list. If you have
> opinions, now is the time to make them known.
>
> I wish I could cover everything we talked about, but it would take
> several more pages (I wish I'd brought a tape recorder). Our meeting
> left me feeling pretty psyched about the project as well. This
> Thursday, at Comic Con, Imagi will be screening parts of the Teenage
> Mutant Ninja Turtles feature, and I want to get a look to see what
> we might be seeing in Gatchaman. More news soon!
>
> --Wendy

The latest news about the movie are truly exciting! I hope they'll release soon some sketchs, I can't wait to see how the updated Gatch will look like.
And if this will focus on the training days, perhaps there will be the chance to have a sequel!
Very funny that video on YourTube.
And did you spot the girl on the mecha? She was dressed as Tekkaman!
Posted by Elvin Ruler on 20-07-2006 at 13:22:
The Last Unicorn was an animated movie done in Japan for America. A unicorn hears that she is the last and goes searching for the remaining (who have been captured by an evil king who uses the red bull to hunt them). Voices included Mia Farrow and Christopher Lee. Christopher Lee is coming back as King Hagrid for the live action.
As far as Dark Crystal goes, I'm pretty sure they're going to use the Henson studio (though I hope that Wendy Froud directs the design of the puppets again). Since they're still working on the script and designs, all's I know is that they're working on the script and designs (worldoffroud.com).
I'm so excited for those and for Gatch. ^_^ My inner child is being thrown into overdrive.

That video was ... incredible. Is this a fan or (well, obviously it's done by a fan, but you know what I mean) or another studio?

It's a clip from a series, Nurse Witch whatever. I don't know the studio but it's a professional, commercial production. I love the way they copied the Phoenix loadup sequence so very almost exactly.
