[NEWS] Gundam Live Action Movie on Netflix

 

Legendary Pictures just announced that they are working on a live action film of Gundam for Netflix which is set to be directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts (best known for his work on Kong: Skull Island). As of now, no further news yet for the cast, story, or target release date. All we know is that this is going to be an ambitious movie project and as a big fan of Gundam, I'm hoping that it will give justice to the popular franchise.

HG All Gundam Project

In connection with the new Gundam Build Fighters anime series coming this October 2013, Bandai has announced a project titled "HG All Gundam Project" which will start on September 2013. Each month a gunpla model will be released taken from previous gundam series like Gundam Wing, X, Victory, F91 and so on. It's like taking a trip down to memory lane. The question is if it will be same model kits that were previously made or will there be any additional feature.

Gundam Build Fighters Anime Coming This October

Sunrise has announced Gundam Build Fighters as a new Gundam television anime series that will premiere this October on TV Tokyo. The series will feature not only new mecha designs but also customized designs from previous Gundam projects such as Build Strike Gundam (Gundam Seed), Zaku Amazing (first Gundam), Wing Gundam Fenice (Gundam W), and Gundam X Mao (Gundam X). The anime will tie into an HG Build Fighters model kit line that encourages customization with the accompanying HG Build Custom line of accessories.

The story is set in the near future when GunPla Battles, competitions that pit Gundam plastic models against each other, have become popular worldwide in the "Second GunPla Boom." Sei Iori, a first-year middle-school student and the only son of a model shop owner, is talented at building GunPla, but inexperienced in the GunPla Battles. He encounters a mysterious boy named Reiji who happens to be an accomplished Gundam Fighter. Together, they strive for the GunPla Battle world championships.
