Space Battleship Yamato Live Action Film Website Launches
If you grew up loving Star Blazers the good news is that the website for the live action Space Battleship Yamato film is now live! The bad news? There’s very little detail on this film on the website at all. There’s a listing of the crew which stars Takuya Kimura, a launch date of December 2010 and a tiny visual of the Yamato stuck in the mud:
To be honest I don’t have high hopes for this film: The Japanese have had a mixed track record on live action science fiction in the past but that can be over come with the right team. But my fear is that this will be rushed out to cash in on the settlement between Yoshinobu Nishizaki and Leiji Matsumoto. But of course even if it’s terrible I’d kill to be in Japan on opening day!
