>Produced by Legendary (Pacific Rim, Godzilla)>Directed by Jim Mickle (Sweet Tooth, Stake Land)>Cast: Sydney Sweeney, Noah Centineo, Michael Mando, Shioli Kutsuna, and Gemma Chua-Tran>Rumored to adapt elements of 08th MS Team
>>23811738No.
>>23811741This movie was made for/m/ posters not actual Gundam fans. Actual fans would already know that Gundam was popularized in the west by MSG, Wing, and SEED
Sydney Sweeney better be a Zeon mommy
>>23811738>will a western adaptation of an Eastern property be good?Of course it won't. Why do think nice things can happen? Stop that.
>>23811749They chose the most barebones installment to start from because it gives woke writers an easy, open platform for their own ideas
>Rumored to adapt elements of 08th MS TeamShould've gotten Michael Bay.
>>23811738What I expect>they'll fuck it upWhat I'll get>somehow they'll fuck it up even harder, 5 minutes of MS action>Sydney Sweeney in tight bodysuitwelp
>>23811760THIS. The one time he would make a good job and they fuck it up with some no name rando.
>>23811760Is this what you are after?
>>23811744Actually provably delusional. MSG and Seed both got shifted to the dogshit time slot because they flopped. Wing, G, and the OVA's like 08th and 0083 were the most popular by a mile.
>>23811738There's practically zero chance it'll be anything more than rancid dogshit. Doing live action adaptations of anime is retarded.
How exactly do you make a live action Gundam good? What would a good Gundam movie look like?
>>23812171Robot Jox.
>>23811790The TF movies show how well he can do giant robot+military guys action.
>>23811842MSG got shifted due to 911, actually. It otherwise nearly finished the show(right around the lalah episode is when it moved).
>>23811738Are those things supposed to sell me on it? Sounds like it's gonna be slop.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtYI-0N5dYU
They just have to copy the tone and feel of the anime and it'll be good amirite?
>>23811738Idk, depends on if the writers want to respect the source material and then hoping they don't insert some cringe modern day subversive elementd like they always seem to doThen you have to hope they can deliver decent action sequencesIt's literally a rip off because they can't produce original ideas, should you even care in the first place, actors are subhuman parasites, studios are jewish brainwashing or worse leftist subversives, don't you have something better to do with your time and money???
>>23812171Honest answer? Something like Pulitzer or Plot to Assassinate Gihren is your best bet if you don't have fuck you money to make a ton of CGI battles. Just make something that's mostly grounded with people and talking with 2-3 MS sequences at MOST so people don't feel like they get scammed
>>23812171Lion's Gate 83 would at least have had Mead designs...Other than that it's probably difficult in this day and age.Just contemplating this new one:>CGI/3D robotsMight as well watch an actual Gundam anime since that's what they use these days anyway. Unlikely to have good mechanical design. Not that we'll be seeing much of them.>actorsFour nobodies and "can't act, has tits".>plotJust watch 08th MS TeamWhat a good live action Gundam from the West would look like is difficult to say. I don't think they would bother or be capable of handling large scale battles.1v1/tournament style would be more doable, but selling Plamo-Sanshiro/Build Fighters is a difficult proposition. G Gundam is similarly obtuse due to the overarching wuxia narrative. Bare minimum the unique parts get stripped out and it turns into a Rocky-esque boxing story.In a UC type of setting, the West could probably handle an small scale asymmetric conflict (bet this is why they picked 08th to lift from). Tank commander trying to prove there's still a place for tanks in a world of MS. Infantry getting mulched by a custom Zaku, lone survivor joining an anti-MS spec ops squad on a mission to take it down. Horror movie where one guy gets chased by a nightmarish Gundam. That kinda crap. Wouldn't necessarily be good, but that's what they could handle.
>>23812272This anon gets it
>>23812280If I were the director he's my fanfiction>set during the Gryps conflict after Dakar>Titans are reshuffling rapidly, trying to get all their shit to space>POV is from an Earthnoid grunt who gets sent to "clean up" the Newtype Labs>finds the kids and is horrified, tries breaking them out in a GM>insert several fight scenes here with Byarlants and Gaplants>manages to escape and let the kids fuck off in the wild before getting surroundedNow the question is, would it be better to have the guy die or get saved by blink-and-you-miss-it newtype hax
>>23812291Saved sets it up for the sequel!
>>23811738Even the actual 08th MS Team anime is mediocre so I don't see what hope this has
>>23811738>Rumored to adapt elements of 08th MS TeamNo way in hell. Bandai wants to make 0079 the face of the franchise globally and 08th isn't even that popular
Miller's Report live action with JLaw as Miller.
>>23811749not that Japanese adaptations are any betterlive action adaptations are near universally made by executives and soulless secondaries who don't give a shit about the property and are doing it purely as a cash grab off popularity
>>23812489>using the worst live action adaptation as an example Very dishonest post.
This thread is spam btw.>>>/a/287349495
>>23812556Saw it on /tv/ too. As least we've had some interesting discussion out of it.
>>23812489Yes but it's their stuff to adapt. Westerners adapting stuff inevitably make it lame and gay.
I have this vision of a boardroom drama/ political/ spy thriller type thing as a series starting in proper around UC 0040ish (Although maybe touching on earlier events like having the turn of the Universal Century terrorist attack from Unicorn as an opening scene), life of General Revil story covering the decline of the Federation and rise of Zeon and the Zabis from his perspective as a central protagonist character with it ending a bit after his escape and speech, from here you have your high budget mobile suit action movie that kinda follows the 0079 narrative with Amuro and the White Base but without the need to establish anything about the setting and broader context, so the movie itself would be the payoff of the series.
>it ends up being zeekwank
>>23813161Are westerners know for as much Zeek apologism as Japanese? Although they did make RfV so maybe...
>>23812241SEED Freedom got a western theatrical run, by anon's own logic it was never big enough to warrant one
>it's gonna suckWell why doesn't Japan do it?
as someone who tries to write movies, Gundam could be adapted well. But you basically have to condense 0079 into one two hour movie which is a nightmare. Plausible if you focus on the big story beats and start somewhere in the middle, flashing back.Probably with them on earth already, on the way to Jaburo and ending after Encounters in Space
>>23811790It will be a blessing if we actually had that
>>23811738>Sydney SweeneyYou already know the movie is going to be terrible when she was casted.
>>23811744seed is just uc 2.0 wing is trash storyline
>>23811738>Led cast is this bunch of old fucks instead of it being kids in a warNope
>>23811747How can they not cast her as Sayla Mass? The puns write themselves
>>23811738>>Directed by Jim Mickle (Sweet Tooth, Stake Land)Fuck no
>>23811738Hope it gets some sort of theatrical release, even if limited
>>23811738I like the lady with a big boobs on the far left.
>>23815598Apologize.Seriously a 08th MS Team adaptation? That's literally just the Transformers 2007 movie.
I don't think any of the actors are bad, but will they care enough? Which one will be the MC? Or the villain?I'm guessing they will aim for a 2029 release, for the 50th anniversary of the franchise
People says it will be a direct adaptation but I don't believe so, I don't think it will keep the characters as they are. at best it will follow a similar plot but it won't be the same charactersWho will design the MS though, will they ask a japanese artist or an american-western artist?
>>23821757>Production is scheduled to begin in April 2026 in Australia, with a release likely for 2027
>>23822152>release likely for 2027It'll be postponed endlessly.
>>23812497Gatchaman is in the same boat as this damn thing. It doesn't even feel like Gatchaman anymore.
What is the most current hollywood leftist subversive narrative being pushed at the momentAlthough it's not new, it has seen a resurgence at places like The Grammys, The Superbowl Halftime Show etc etc and that narrative is Refugees welcome/No on is illegalYou should fully expect the plot of this to reflect what leftist hollywood has been pushing
People memed that they're going to Australia for the colony drop but maybe they're going to use it as a primary filming location if they're doing 08th MS Team since it does have both tropical rainforests and arid landscape.>>23822882They should have adapted Victory then lol.
>>23816504It would only work if pic related was directing
>>23824234We thought the same of this and look how it turned out.
>>23812489The Devilman live action movie had soul.
>>23824487Alita was great.>>23824494Shut the fuck up.
>>23824495>Shut the fuck upI didn't say it was good, but it had soul.https://youtu.be/HWrxD17yM0U?si=odGUAEtLoQwHu99s
>>23811738Won't be any good.
>>23811738>any chance it will be good?lmao, no
>>23811738Hollywood is TRASH. Alita, Dragon Ball, and GitS was handled poorly what the hell do you think is going to happen to this
>>23825476Alita wasn't that bad.
>>23825481In a sense that modern Tarantino movies aren't bad, ya sure
>>23824487First of all James Cameron didn't actually get to direct the Alita Battle Angel movie; Robert Rodriguez did. Secondly, that movie is literally the best adaptation of the manga there is; yes, it's better than the original OVA.
Okay so how much of a flop are we predicting? Total disaster, biggest failure of the year or just a silent fart that comes and goes and leaves nothing behind?
More cast was revealed.No it wont be good Netflix 'requests' movies repeat their plot in dialogue 2-4 times for zoomers who are watching on their cellphone.
>>23826341We will never actually know by any measurable metrics because Netflix doesnt have to release numbers.
>>23821760>Who will design the MS though, will they ask a japanese artist or an american-western artist?I dont know but the fact Syd Mead did so many classic and cult Hollywood films makes me wish he was still alive to work on this.
>>23826348We'll still be able to see and measure the impact or lack thereof. If Bandai just kinda stops mentioning it after a year and nobody talks about it in general it will be pretty clear evidence on its own.
>>23826346If hard 0079 x 08th:>Sweeny: Aina/Sayla>Centineo: Amuro/Shiro>Isaacs: Bright>White: Char>Walton: Kai(Hayato is Kill)>Mando: Ramba Ral/Packard>Chua-Tran: Mirai>Kustona: Fraw>Anozie: Dozle>Brooke: Kycillia>Dudynskyi: Gihren
>>23826346ok my guess (left to right) Sayla, Amuro, Cassius (Isaacs is too old to play Bright ), Char, Kai, Ryu, Fraw, Mirai, Ramba Ral, Hamon and Garma
You guys know it's an original story right?
>>23826385They will make everyone a clone instead of just Char
>>23826346Too many blacks.
>The working title for the film is "Teardrop" it's habbening
>>23811738>Jason Isaacs>Javon Walton>Nonso AnozieOh fuck the leak is true then Sidney is playing genderbend Amuro
>>23826364Good point. I wonder if it itll be more forgotten than G Savior if it flops.
>>23826346>>23826380Nonso is playing a Haro
>>23826403G Saviour at least isn't insultingly bad, just mediocre and forgettable. This movie can only pray to be so lucky lol
>>23811738If they show a Ball in live action? YesIf not? NoAlso Nacho will be in it? Who the hell is he playing?
>>23811738Jason Issacs and Mando will be the only two to carry this shitstorm >Sydney sweeneyHer acting is shit her tits are the only reason she's tolerated. Christine Hendricks chestmogs her
>>23826346Nonso is probably playing Dozle
>Tons of tourists and newfags flooding in shitting up the board to say how great the movie isPraying the Iranians nuke Hollywood to stop this garbage from releasing
>>23826470>Iran out of nowhere>Not wanting total middle east zero state solution where both perish in nuclear hellfirewhy do you fags cuck themselves out to "people" that hate them rather than chose their own side??
>>23826496The North Koreans keep pussying out on launching an ICBM on the west coast that's whyI'd prefer a glassed middle east as well.
>>23812171You know how in battletech the pilots fight in only underwear and coolant vests? That
>>23811738>no jap male>token japanese girl who is going to get BLACKED>mutt male MCIt's over.
>>23826543Make it like Gasaraki where they have to take hard drugs too
Do you really need an answer
This doesn't look promising.
Guys, why aren't you happily eating the slop?!!!!!
>>23827118He's getting paid isn't he.
>Sydney, are you excited about being in a Gundam movie?>TOTALLY, I love Optimus Prime, it's going to be really cool!
>>23827118Netflix is in on it too!? Good grief
>>23827250Fuck off tourist.
>>23827256That's known since 2018, along with them just being in charge of distribution. What was announced during the 40th anniversary for the 45th is going to end up being something on 50Also considering related I would drop the whole idea of OYW & instead switch to Wing. Doesn't really change much in casting since instead of Sayla, Syd can be Relena & rather than Char, Noah as Zechs (this line of thinking is since he's Ken in the new live Street Fighter).
>>23827118The current state of Hollywood is grim. Netflix and Legendary guarantees that this movie will be a cheap, loud and obnoxious mess. I'm all for trying to be optimistic, but the American film industry is dire and pretending otherwise is peak consoomerism.
>>23827250I guarantee you this is what happened.
>>23814194See >>23813235Don't use Gundam to live out your fantasies of being drafted
>>23827280Some of the announcements said it was taking place in a decades long war so OYW is off the table either way.
>>23827118Oh no those poor Hollywood rapist hack writers boo hoo
>>23826380>>Isaacs: BrightDon't be a moron.
>>23826346why are some of them greyed out like a danganronpa character that got executed
>>23828138Headshots and not the Kycillia kind
>>23828263Would pay for this.
>>23826335>that movie is literally the best adaptation of the manga there isI still think French City Hunter is the best adaptation.
>>23811738>Tytti Noorbuck as Aina Sahalin
>the story follows Sydney Sweeney as a freedom loving patriot who joins the Federation Army to pilot an M1A9 GUNDAM after a cowardly terrorist attack on Australia by space communists (contolists)ULTRA BASED
>Story elements taken from 8th>Sydney Sweeney is Kiki>6 hour feddie rape sceneBRAVO NETFLIX
>>23828349>reading comprehension
>>23811738No, I assume they're just doing the thing where they take an ip that's well known even among people who've never seen it and making a slop adaptation specifically for slop enjoyers. And any fan rage is just seen as free marketing.Best to just forget it and avoid giving it attention.
>>23828263I will now watch your movie
How would you cast Gundam then? Char as Ryan Gosling?
>>23829906Hire this man Netflix!
>>23827118Y'all care way too much what some faggot on the internet thinks. He's a literal nobody. >>23827191Wouldn't be surprised if he's on Bandai's payroll. How else would be get away with shit
>>23829906Ryan GoslingTimothee ChalametLive action Gundam Thunderbolt
>>23811738>made by americans>made for netflix I'm good, thanks.
How bad was that Requiem Gundam kek. Wasn't that also Netflix?
>>23830228Netflix is the distributor not the production, which is done by Legendary Pictures. Netflix is just releasing it.

>>23831052Why is held in such high regard again?
Saw some news in this movie, wondering what anons thi->Sees this absolute mess of nonsenseAs expected of live action discourse, feels like I’m on /tv/ again. Bye
>>23831063He translated a couple of things most of the fandom in the west would not have been able to see otherwise like Hathaway's Flash
>>23833379is HF like some ancient Japanese scroll? How is it that hard to run it through a machine translator. I have an extension that can auto translate with good accuracy
>>23831964Imagine being this much of an attention whore kek.
>>23833404>run it through a machine translatorKys
>>23833438Seething trannylatorPut in more retarded millennial "humor" and political faggotry to "spice it up " kek
>Why do people like this translator?>He translated things>What the fuck, why would you translate things10/10 brilliant discourse what a worthwhile thread.
>>23833441The fact that people think that anyone involved in translation that isn't AI or a machine doing this is just pathetic. >>23833404I hope you enjoy your hallucinating addon. I'm sure it's feeding you gobs of accurate material (shit look at the UK in Japan Twitter and see they had to issue a disclaimer over shit MTL auto tweets).
>>23833485>>23833499Uh oh the bootlickers arrived.
>>23833485>>23833499>spend years of your life learning thousands of kanji for a job in translating>can't translate shit properly and have to add stupid shit or modern memes that will age like milk >Get booted out in favor or AI Maybe you can teach English instead

>>23833725seething ESL>Crunchyrolllmfao
>>23833404I've found that Tomino level text (G-Reco dialogue), text with heavy specific business content,and the extreme opposite of very slang heavy idioms are still not good with machine TL alone. Needs like an additional Agent to add context to the machine translation. Otherwise you get the problem similar to "Badass" where JP machine translation treats it as an insult.
So cool that everyone in this thread is JLPT N1.
>>23836859If localizers would stop being clout chasing echo chamber following faggots no one would be on guard. I don't go to a drive-thru to hear the employee cry about muh orange man or muh troons just put the fires in the bag.

>>23811760>>23811770He fucked up Transformers and he'd fuck this up too.
>>23837025We'd get MS uglier than the Requiem designs and then 20 years later alfies making retarded 10 hour essays about how everyone was wrong and these designs were good ACKSHUALLY
>>23837025The first movie was great. Then he got too full of himself and went full retard with the rest of the movies.
>>23833441fuck off /v/tard.
>>23815598You'd think Bandai and their infinite money would try harder.
>>23837182The first movie is far from great, but it is substantially better than the rest.
>>23811738Thinking about it, if they're making a brand new AU that means they'll be designing entire new lines of MS.
>>23836859Speak a lil' Chinese for 'em, Derek.
>>23837436see>>23837028They're going to be ugly as fuck to appeal to muhrealism normalfags.
>>23837599I can dig some ugly MS.
>>23837200Why would they try when they know they'll inevitably still make more money back home pumping out another timeline-breaking UC sidestory or SEED sequel. The gaijin market is small fries to them.
>>23811738Mobile Slut Gundam
You think they had Sweeney take the colony dick from Tomino to greenlight this?
>>23839045Just the President of Bandai. Tomino is still persona no grata after G Reco
>>23838116I swear these are from King Gainer. . . I remember using them in SRW Z. With a little turret on their chin.
>>23838225So why don't they do the live action themselves?
>>23840872Bandai doesn't have in-house live action studio
>>23838225>The gaijin market is small fries to them.The whole point of pushing an American live action movie is to change this. Bandai's wanted the US market for decades now.
>>23811744Wing pretty handily outperformed SEED and 0079 in early 2000s America. It’s really only with Unicorn and Hathaway that UC has started to pick up steam
