Live Action Gundam Update

Apparently at the Gundam VIP Expo, a couple pieces of concept art were shown for the live action movie. Strangely, people who were there are being very hush hush about it and not clarifying anything even though everything else there has been discussed. The most I can gather is that it’s a combination of all timelines? Who knows.

    Probably just taking ideas from a few different ones? But what can you pluck from one and stick into another so that makes sense?

    G is silliness that doesn't work in any other setting.
    W is some design choices and a colony design that's off.
    X is post apocalyptic. Hard to add that in
    Turn-A same.
    Reconguista the same.
    Seed has genetic engineering. That could be stuck into a typical UC setting as a component of making artificial Newtypes. Use that new fangled CRISPR.
    Age has Jupiter shit, but so does the UC. Just more of it?
    IBO has Mars terraforming. That could track.

    I just want to know what the hell BKV is doing/thinking. He's a choice that will either shit the bed or nail it. He'll, he's a writer who can do both in the same scene.

      I’m willing to bet they took the tracer system from G.
      A lot of people have this weird dissonance with mecha where they can’t relate to the action because the pilot is just sitting in a chair.
      Something like tracer system will probably be used to address that.
      Orbital elevators could potentially be a thing too, they’re a more modern sci-fi/pop science concept that a lot of people would believe.
      And I think it might be easier to pull off than O’Neil cylinders
      00’s theme about energy distribution and renewable energy is also still very relevant to the contemporary political landscape, so I think it would be pretty smart to use that for a movie instead of O’Neil style space colonies.
      SEED’s genetic engineering is another possibility because that’s something that we’re on the horizon of now, and the coordinator/natural racism analogy would be perfect for the current times.
      Wing and 00’s freedom fighters/terrorist scenarios could be used too.
      AGE’s Age system stuff is potential for commentary on AI, another pop-science topic that’s been hot as of late.
      IBO’s mars terraformation and cybernetic enhancements would be topical as well.
      The link between mobile suit and pilot in IBO is another thing that would help audiences buy into the mecha concept more since it’s like the MS has become the pilot’s actual body.

          simple solution: have them standing up, like pacific rim, and exaggerate their arm and leg movements, problem solved.

            Pacific Rim wienerpit shots were beyond goofy.
            Acting like Top Gun's Dogfights don't work because the pilots are sitting down is super dumb.

              I think the real real is you don't feel any of the momentum. In Top Gun, you see cruise straining his face from all the Gs, so you know he's doing it for real. Hard to capture that sense of weight in a mecha, Pacific Rim does this, as does Eva, where every movement is magnified ten-fold in the wienerpit.

          It’s a fair point, mecha wienerpits are pretty anti-climactic visually.
          Especially in Gundam where they just look like therapist chairs floating in space and often ignore inertia.
          With something like a car or motorcycle there’s a stronger sense of momentum being conveyed due to how close and vulnerable the driver is to the surrounding environment and it’s a more familiar feeling for people to relate too.
          Seeing things through a digital screen instead of glass also adds an extra layer of separation from the action that feels like it distances the pilot a bit.
          The denser more mechanical wienerpits give a more tense claustrophobic feeling though that I think works better than the 360 wienerpits.

            Macross actually has a strength here with its glass wienerpits because they bring the pilot closer to the action.

      At this point, the last resort becomes more and more attractive: Make a reboot Gundam movie featuring five multi colored robots combining into a giant one piloted by five teenagers. Their enemy is a disguised evil alien bent on attacking Earth to gather some weird energy. This kind of happened to Pacific Rim 2. Pray hard it doesn't happen to Gundam.

      Has BKV ever written a movie? He's always been the sort of guy that starts his stories very well but they inevitably shit the bed towards the end, and since most of his work is serialized that pretty much always happens.

    I'm not very optimistic. They tried to do this way too late and on top of that the production so far has been 2 years of nothing but implied trainwreck. The silver lining is that G-Saviour for all its detached writing and low budget will finally be vindicated by this movie.

              He is, the MGS film he was working in way before Gundam.
              So I don’t expect the Gundam film to make any significant progress until we at least have a trailer for MGS.
              The MGS film’s script has been completed for a few months now so they’re in the middle of shooting.

              The Gundam film’s current state is early preproduction. So there’s probably just some concept art and a few loose ideas for the script and scenario being thrown around right now.

                The director said they have a rough script. It's about star-crossed lovers and directly inspired by 08th MS Team and 0080 with the main characters being a guy and a girl on opposing sides of the war.

                Sounds safe, wich I don't like. War and love stories like 08th MS and 0080 are easy to find in Hollywood. A Gundam movie needs some batshit insane stuff and an ensemble cast.

                It kind of needs to be safe. Mecha in general is a really hard sell for Western audiences as it is. You want to have a fairly easy to digest premise/plot for them to even give it a chance in the first place. Go too hard and it's going to turn them off completely.

                that goes for every multi-person work but as director it is necessary for us to attribute his works to him. It is possible for someone to be given credit for a work, as its director, while simultaneously not discrediting the other people who worked on it, right?

                He's never written a series with poor dialogue, and if he did I certainly haven't seen it. If you've never heard another human being speak I can understand why it sounds weird to you. Tomino's dialogue flows very naturally but the content is quite like theater.

      I wouldn't really call it too late, Gundam's merchandising reach in spite of recent shows lackluster performances is better than its been in decades. they just need to do the hard part of managing to not frick up the movie and being able to kick an anime series they can point to and say that people should try to

        I'm saying it's too late because the prime time to have attempted this project is hot off the heels of Pacific Rim and the Bayformers series still being relevant circa the early 2010s. Rabid interjections of activist writing weren't so prevalent then either. The window was missed and the environment this movie is going to be produced in now is no longer conducive to making a genuine story. And I say "going to" because they don't even have a plan after all this time.

          I’m partially saying it in jest, but it also is true. When the original series was airing the earliest fans were women and children. You can actually find female AmuroxChar fan art in magazines that came out as the show was airing.

          The male audience didn’t really come along until gunpla and the movies came out.

          Stop talking. You are an absolute moron. You have no idea how the film business works. Netflix is the DISTRIBUTOR of the Gundam movie. Which means they contribute anywhere from 25% to 50% of the production budget. (Probably on the higher end if Netflix has EXCLUSIVE distribution rights worldwide), and have a say in approving what is made. This is freaking standard Hollywood practice.
          So next time do your fricking research before commenting.

            If Jordan is viewing this thread, then he's a fricking poor excuse for a director that needs to find some validation for a project he's clearly nervous about fricking up. He's an overzealous c**t.

              >By that logic they would've contributed to Hathaway's budget, WHICH THEY DID NOT.

              I'm going to explain this to you so you understand clearly.

              Anon... Distribution is not some "free perk". Companies that want to distribute films need to pay MONEY to the copyright holder to have the right to distribute it. Netflix paid good money to Sunrise to secure the rights to stream Hathaway's Flash. It's wasn't "free" for Netflix. They paid for it. You (as a distributor/investor) can invest in the film before its made, during production, or you can buy it afterwards. Each one has pros and cons.

              With the Gundam live action movie, Netflix is an early pre-production partner. This is before the movie is even made. They aren't buying it afterwards. This means Netflix are paying their money now upfront (instead of later), and providing part of the movie's budget in exchange for full streaming rights outside of Japan.

              This is very common in Hollywood. Distributors and investors can hop on board early if they believe the movie will be hit. This gives them some say in the story being made (depending on how much they invest).

              For example it's what happened with China, and why we had a "wave" of Hollywood films suddenly pandering to the Chinese. Foreign investors put money into the films being made, demanded preferential treatment to China in movies.

              Likewise, if Netflix as an early investor WANTS to make some demands (like making some White Base characters Gay or LGBTQ characters), then they can do that. If they want Fraw Bow or Sayla to be a Lesbian bi-sexual, then Netflix can demand that. Bandai/Sunrise also has a say, and so does Legendary Pictures.

              However, if Jordan gets ordered to make Captain Bright into a black person, then Jordan is gonna bend over and take it. Knowing his personality, he'll probably even get on Twitter and defend the choice saying White Base needed more diversity.

    I was rather optimistic about it when the video with the director first came out, but the more I think about it, Gundam really is impossible to do for an American audience. There's no storyline they could craft that wouldn't just be as braindead basic as Star Wars, because that's the only way general American audiences can comprehend a war story.

        Oh yeah. I nearly forgot about that. His rant about CinemaSins critiquing his film was embarrassing. Real directors don't pay attention to parody and comedy. They take it in stride and accept the comedy critique is all in good fun.

        Yet Jordan took serious offense at Cinemasins and wrote page after page of rants on Twitter telling at Cinemasins. It's worse because Jordan didn't have any actual defense. Totally embarrassing. He was acting like a child.

        If Cinemasins would ding Jordan for doing something stupid or absurd, then Jordan's whole defense argument was: "WELL I MEANT IT TO BE THAT Way! It's meant to be stupid and absurd on purpose! It's called art! "

        Then Jordan started blaming former President Trump out of freaking no where. Wtf?? And then said CinemaSins was a Trump supporter.

        Unbelievable. This is guy is who they got to direct Gundam? Seriously? RIP Gundam. I'm Not going to see this gundam film. Not going to support Netflix. It's a disaster waiting to happen.

            Nothing in the post was defending cinemaBlack folkins, it was calling Jordan out on his homosexualry.

          I still don't understand how jordan related cinemasins to Trump. There is zero relation.

          have NOT* directed.

          Grammar and spelling correction. But the point still stands. Jordan is unqualified for this project.

          you talk like a homosexual and your shit's all moronic

            I could post screenshot, buts it's literally so easy. Just type "Jordan cinemasins" into Google and you can see several pages of links covering Jordan going on rants.... and news articles giving his rant coverage and people making fun of him.

      That's cute you think that. But Cinemaphile gets 22 million unique visits per month. 14 million of which are from the United States. And several celebrities already admitted to publicly use Cinemaphile. This isn't some obscure website anymore. You aren't part of some super sekrit club. You are the mainstream now.

          any industry person would be better off poaching ideas from a more active board like Cinemaphile Cinemaphile or Cinemaphile, /m/ is too dead and too insular even by Cinemaphile standards

            Even then, why would Japs creators even be on Cinemaphile? They literally have their own domestic audience on 2ch. and they don't give two shits about what pozzed leftoid westaboos think about their work.

    I can't believe Jordan is still making these threads on /m/. Go away. Live action Gundam will never work.
