Gatchaman Movie Poster and Images

 Print This Article |  Email This Article

Now this is the movie I’m dying to see! I watched this cartoon after school every day when they were on television as Battle of the Planets. The show originated in Japan in the early 1970s as Science Ninja Team Gatchaman and then hit North America as Battle of the Planets and later G-Force. I wanted to be team leader Mark with his sonic boomerang, but I also had a thing for Jason and his hot race car and customizable pistol.

Gatchaman is directed by Kevin Munroe (TMNT) and is scheduled for release in early 2009. It’s supposed to featuring some of the most ambitious action sequences ever seen in animation and will be about five heroes with special gifts and technology, working to save the Earth from invaders. Their suits are re-designed and here’s a small image to give you a taste of what’s to come.

The Fiery Phoenix has gotten a polish in its new CG home as well. I was shown the fire test of the ship and its ‘flame up.’ The test was incredible! It still has the bay doors and everything but so much more modern and sleek. But you see the ship and it’s like, yeah, that’s the Phoenix, it’s not completely re-imagined or redesigned, but it has a modern and “fast” look and feel.

Munroe confides that the flame transformation of the ship comes at a pivotal and climatic point in the story.
