Hi all!

To be frank, unless there is a lot more going on behind the scenes than has been announced anywhere, the notion of seeing an Imagi-made Gatchaman movie in 2010 is becoming more and more unrealistic with each passing day.
Using Astro Boy as a yardstick, the Director for that film was announced on January 25, 2008, with the writer and the first actors being announced in February of 2008. That film will finally see the light of day on October 23, 2009, a mere two days shy of 21 months after the Director was announced. Assuming their Gatchaman movie would require a similar timeframe, production would have had to have been underway by the end of March, 2009 for a release date even as late as December of 2010.
With no official announcements of anyone actually working on this film, it's a pretty safe bet that Gatchaman has been placed on the back burner for now. Considering the financial difficulties Imagi suffered earlier this year, it's very likely that all of their available resources are being put into Astro Boy. Any future productions from Imagi will probably depend on the success or failure of Astro Boy.
Assuming that Astro Boy does well in the box office, I would supect that the earliest we could see a Gatchaman movie is late in 2011. If Astro Boy is a major failure... Well, if that happens, there may not be an Imagi studio to make a CG Gatchaman movie. So let's hope for the best!

Hi all!

That would be because Astro Boy isn't coming out this Summer. It's coming out in the Fall. October 23rd, to be exact.
I noticed in the latest San Diego Comic Con progress report that Imagi will be among the exhibitors again this year. I suspect that their booth will be similar to last year, with a completely Astro Boy theme, but at least those of us who are there will have the opportunity to ask them about Gatchaman.
With Astro Boy being released 3 months after the convention, I suspect that they'll have some sort of preview panel for it during the Comic Con as well. Hopefully it will be more than simply showing the trailer for the film, like they did as Wondercon in February.
And, speaking of Comic Con, I see that, as of today, Thursday has now joined Friday, Saturday, and 4-Day memberships on the sold out list. Sunday memberships are 80% sold out, and likely won't last much longer. If any of you are planning to attend and haven't bought a membership, do so quickly! They can be found at the con website at:
