I believe Maddy is right... the rights to make the movie are still a viable property, and I keep hoping someone else will pick them up!

At least there's always hope! Hopefully, if some day the movie does see the light, we'll be there to savor it to the full!

Thank you James for posting the images.
I think what I am gathering from them is they were going very much based on the OAV movies rather than the Gatch series we would much prefer to see.
Although I am not against updating the vehicles and costumes, I just wonder what else they were taking from the OAV's.

What the? They look like.....I don't know what. And I ain't diggin' that techno music in the trailer either. I think I'm having second thoughts about the film now. Also the Galactors look like rejected designs for Robocop.

This was done in 2006, before the designs made by Patrick Awa. It's not the finalized product yet.

Oh, well I'm glad they didn't stick with those designs.

It must be the same clip that I read about here back in 2007:

Very interesting to finally see it, even if nothing ever really came of it -thanks for posting this!

Thanks for sharing this! The part with Ken diving off the building reminds me of the NTT commercials.

Thanks so much for sharing that! It was really fun to watch!
I'm still really sad about the movie being shelved, though...

Thank you for sharing that link and information with us. As TJ says it is very reminiscent of the NTT commercial.

The trailer looks pretty slick, not too fond of those doll like faces (yes i know it's just an early teaser and all, I was just sayign my thoughts) But if this was an indication of the final movie, I'd watch it 
Oh and am I the only one who got an NTT Commercial vibe from some parts, like Ken diving from the building and transforming?
Posted by gatchamarie on 16-04-2010 at 08:22:
I agree ... Ken's diving reminds me a lot of the NTT commercials ... even the part when he's crouched and holding his masked head down. As for the doll-like faces ... some of you may know how I think about them! Not so keen to see something like that!

It does have the same feel - is it possible that NTT used Imagi to do the commercials and that's why?

No, the NTT spots were done entirely in Japan, without any involvement from Hong Kong-based Imagi. Besides, Imagi had barely been founded in 2000, which was when the NTT spots were produced. Instead, Imagi was "inspired" (*Ahem*) by the NTT spots for their work.

True. Felix did say on his blog that they tried incorporating the feel of the NTT commercials in the film during its earlier stages.

Thanks for sharing.
The direction of the trailer was pretty slick, but I can't say that I enjoyed the art direction as much. It was a good thing they were going a different direction with the designs.
Either way it's still sad that we'll never see the movie.
