Gundam Movie Domains Listed Under Sony Pictures - News - Anime News Network

A lot of people are already comparing a possible Gundam movie to the Bayformers. People can dump on the Bayformers as much as they want, if this Gundam movie makes even half the money Transformers did, I will be happy. I Love Gundam, and I want to see it on the big screen NOW!

 

*Flashback to G-Saviour* Sad thing is that it shouldn't be hard at ALL to make a Good Gundam film.....we'll see.

 

Oh god, now I remember G-savior. Thanks for that, jerk.

 

Never saw G-Savior, from what I've heard that's a good thing. Still that was a long time ago. I'm hopeful, as much as people rag on the Bayformer Movies, visually they look amazing. And with Humans, Space, and War being the major themes, the Story should be a lot more interesting.

 

G-saviour actually was no where near as bad as I'm sure you've heard, it in fact had (1) very cool scene. but it wasn't any good either......

 

I do not have high hopes for this.

Oh, and in before some rabid Bayformers fanboy says, "GUNDAM IS JUST A RIPOFF OF TRANSFORMERS!!!!!!!!!1      "

 

haha, yeah with it's mad 7 year headstart before TF. LOL

 

Bring it

 

Gundam's themes of war, loss of inocence, coming of age, ending war through mutual understanding, political conflicts, portraying of opponents in grey, no one's really bad, tones, evolution of mankind, et al, are way deeper and more mature than anything Bay (or even transformers has a whole) has ever done.... Gundam needs a director that knows how to tell a story about feelings, while still having good action. Gundam is not about big robots (they are not even robots) beating the crap out of each other. Though I fear that Hollywood will try to make it so....

 

*Flashbacks to US DBZ and both US Street Fighter movies*
Well...If everyone dies at the end at least it'll be both faithful and unable to get a sequel.

 

ok, it sounds like a good idea. but really, what should we expect from hollywood?

 

Dunno if "bought a domain name" and "Movie in the works" are synonymous. There have been plenty of unused domains of this type, just means they have an idea. We'll see if it gets fleshed out, Gundam popularity in the states has been waning since GW.

 

Yeah this could just be securing property domains. I'd recommend assuming nothing until an official announcement. Even then I would recommend assuming such a movie would suck truck sized balls.

 

Cautiously optimistic. As long as they look like Gundams and not just giant robots. I mean, really the gundam aesthetic is all the Gundam robots, as a whole, have to set them apart.

 

It's gonna suck.

 

Didn't we already have a US gundam movie that tanked?

 

gundam robots are comibers too like double zeta , victory ,
gundam robots are tfs too like gundam wing , gundam wing zero , gundam epyon , zeta gundam

 

It's going to end up very badly I know it.

 

I'll withhold judgement at least until we see a mobile suit.

 

Conversely, if this does well, it could have a similar effect that Transformers did on its brand and experience a resurrection in the Western market, hopefully bringing along the model kits as well. Those things cost a crapton just to import, even considering the fact we have $19 deluxes in the Prime line.

G-Savior was not actually supported by Sunrise or the Gundam series creator (hence "G-Savior" instead of any mention of Gundams at all), but yeah it was something MST3K worthy.

Double Zeta and Victory are NOT combiners, unless you count the Duocons as combiners as well, since with Gundams you do not have two or more smaller robots combining into one larger robot, just the core block system.
