Our prayers must've been heard, coz I just came across the site a few days ago and Imagi's back from the grave and is currently resuming production of the Gatchaman film.

Yes...I am trying to be optimistic about the movie's chances...but I know that we could very easily be let down again. They do seem like they are determined to finish the movie, though...

The harried head of Imagi glowered at the young man hovering in the doorway. "What is it, now?"

"Sir, there's a bunch of ladies -- and a couple of men -- here who want to speak to you about the Gatchaman movie."

(Japanese equivalent of 'Oh, dear God, why me?' uttered.)

"Actually, their ideas are pretty good, sir."

(More Japanese wibbling.)

"Sir, they aren't going away. And one of them is talking about sharp pointy things."

"Will they go away if I talk to them?"

"There's a good chance of it."

"Very well."

Two hours later:
Maddy - We're writing the script!? (Starts panicking.)
UW - My brain just froze up. All the ideas went bye-bye.
Tatsunokofan - We did it to ourselves.
(Group wibbles follow, after which pens and paper are purchased, laptops warmed up, and TB, Springie, and the other artists are given art supplies. Local food delivery places are made very happy. People passing by the room hear giggles, arguments, exclamations of various sorts.)

I hate vague announcements. I wonder if that means Gatchaman is still in the works or done for?

Dragonsbain I believe at the moment the Quantum Leap movie is on track to be released early next year.

Where as Gatchaman is not even in the works. Thus, I believe QL has a better chance of existing than Gatchaman.

Thank you for posting this Yul. I just wish I could feel some enthusiasm about this news, but am very uncertain of the exact meaning of this story.

Thank you TJ, that might explain some of the misunderstanding and the rest ... well, I wonder if it is a poor (or sloppy) translation problem. And the impairment loss is meant to apply to the Astroboy movie.

I guess there would be "some" loss on the Gatchaman movie since there had been people hired to work on the writing, and developing of the storyline (along with several different directors) who all would have been paid some salary while they worked. If Imagi feels the need to start from the beginning again then all that time and money would be considered a "loss."
