According to Legendary, the live-action film is a first for the Gundam franchise.
The companies will be collaborating on the project, which will be overseen by Legendary’s Cale Boyter along with Sunrise’s creative team.
Details on the upcoming film are scant. No actors, directors, or writers are attached to the project, and no storyline has been announced.
The original Gundam television series started in 1979, and is considered a pioneering show in the mecha anime genre. It is set in a fictional universe where humans who emigrated from Earth to space colonies fight for their independence using giant robots called mobile suits.
Gundam has since become a full-blown franchise that includes not only the television series, but films, manga, books, video games, and toys. – Rappler.com
