R2-D2 for 7-Zark-7 by Kentucky Colonel	Sep 21st, 2007 09:31:11 AM
You heard it here first! Is this a live-action or animated project? I'd love to see Jason's hot rod pop out of that retractable nose cone! And the fat guy from Lost should be Tiny.
It's animated man. by TheButcher	Sep 21st, 2007 09:49:57 AM
Just like the TMNT movie earlier this year.

I'm not sure if I want this CGI.... by Anna Valerious	Sep 21st, 2007 10:53:15 AM
Heck, SMAP did a fine job with some NTT commercials where they played the Gatchaman characters (They had to turn Jun into a guy for it, though)... Then again, I think I'd have "Phantom of the Paradise" flashbacks...actually, that's the reason WHY I'd rather see a Visual Kei Phantom in that remake...who the hell thought he'd look conspicuous like that? Pun nothing, it was just incredibly absurd....
Cowabunga!!! by degikrinbakedirfuvkeit	Sep 21st, 2007 11:10:12 AM
This is pretty cool. IMAGI is definitely becoming a great animation studio. I'm kinda surprised they only just found a scriptwriter though, I thought this movie was already in production. Maybe he already wrote it and they now choose to release that information. Cool nonetheless. Good luck guys!
Holy shit! by Nice Marmot	Sep 21st, 2007 11:39:02 AM
Wow, I'm officially not fanboy enough! I was stoked as it was reading this article and didn't even know Gatchaman was G-Force!!! I f'ing LOVED this show as a kid!!! SUH-WEEEET!!!!!
TMNT was disappointing but most of the problems... by rbatty024	Sep 21st, 2007 11:43:32 AM
I had with it were on the script level. I'm a huuuuuuge Paul Dini fan, so hopefully this means we're going to see a big jump in quality. Gatchaman is familiar to me but it's one of those thingswhere I have no clue where I've seen it before. It just kind of sunk into my by way of pop culture osmosis.
Misty Lee is HOT! by CopOnTheEdge	Sep 21st, 2007 11:47:31 AM
Dini done good! And G-Force rocked the house when I was a kid, so more power to it. Bring it on!

That is the gayest thing ever by LordMadhammer	Sep 21st, 2007 02:21:14 PM
A bunch of kids in stupid bird costumes, yeah I can hardly wait for that.
Leaked GATCHAMAN art for this film on Photobucket.com by Monkey_King	Sep 21st, 2007 06:24:55 PM
Looks like they were taken with a digi-cam, but it's nice. Not incredible mind you, but nice. 94 anime update of GATCHAMAN was ballsy and incredible to behold. Newer anime version is just as awesome.
Kevin Conroy for all the roles. by Dingbatty	Sep 22nd, 2007 04:00:01 AM
Including Jun.

Source Material by JustyHakubi	Sep 22nd, 2007 10:36:20 PM
Now I hope that they remember the source material is the original Gatchaman series, and not Battle of the Planets. If I see any crap inserted or reimagined or 7-Fucking Zark-7 I will start executing people. I have very little confidence in any US Based animation. I like Dini, Batman TAS was great, he's serious, this is good. I just hope that they remember that they are recreating an anime movie and not just another crappy kiddy oriented cartoon.
SpazmoCalrissian We Got This In The UK by Mr Squirrel	Sep 23rd, 2007 04:04:12 AM
On the BBC after Newsround in the late seventies/early eighties. It was called Battle Of The Planets. The Fiery Phoenix move inspired a few acts of toy based immolation, as I recall.
