A CGI animated Gatchaman movie is under production by Imagi Studios. Gatchaman is not a new team superhero. Actually two decades ago there were already around: a TV show was aired in the 1970’s and early 1980’s. Depending on where you were living you would have known the show as Battle of the Planets (UK) or G-Force (USA) before discovering its original Japanese name as Gatchaman.

Let’s watch the original Japanese opening of the manga TV animated series at:

Do You Remember Gatchman G Force?

The central theme of Gatchaman is that Earth resources are limited and have to be protected (from greedy aliens or from careless humans).

I think the show was quite in advance on its time for dealing with such concerns.

I know the Green hornet is no more a mainstream superhero (had he ever been one?) but to give a free reign to Seth Rogen over a movie adaptation of the Green Hornet… Damned, that does not sound really appealing…

Even worse: Seth Rogen is rumored to star as the Green Hornet himself… I wonder why studios company are putting any cash in this flick… They should rather reallocate this cash to a movie that would not involve the weedy guy…

A true story

CHANGELING

To find her son, she did what no one else dared.

I would not have expected angelina Jolie starring in such a movie: but I’m glad she did it! Her role in the Changeling is far from the stereotype of gorgeous and powerful babe she may usually play.
