Get your Gatchaman

Mon Mar 26, 2007 — by Glenn Hauman

CGI version planned for 2008

Imagi, the Hong Kong based animation house, has had a heck of a weekend, with TMNT opening at #1 in America.

But, as the saying goes, that was yesterday. What have they done for us today?

Wonder no further. Via IESB, we learn that Imagi's next film project is a full length version of Gatchaman, or as we called it when we watched it on television in the 70's, Battle of the Planets. Yes, Battle of the Planets! G-Force, five incredible young people with superpowers! And watching over them from Center Neptune, 7-Zark-7! Watching, warning against surprise attacks by alien galaxies from beyond space! G-Force! Fearless young orphans, protecting Earth's entire galaxy! Always five, acting as one. Dedicated! Inseparable! Invincible!

Ahem. Sorry.

Some images at the link. No word on voice casting yet (hey, Casey Kasim's still around) or whether we're going to see 1-Rover-1.
