GUNDAM LIVE-ACTION MOVIE COMING | NEWS

A LIVE-ACTION GUNDAM MOVIE IS IN THE WORKS

Sunrise President & CEO Yasuo Miyakawa announced the film during Sunrise's panel at Anime Expo. The project is a collaboration between Legendary Pictures and Sunrise, and co-production on the film has already started.

Not much else about the movie, including a release date, is currently known. This will be the first ever live-action take on the franchise.

The original Gundam series is set in the Universal Century when humanity is forced to emigrate to space colonies due to humanity's growing population. The colonies eventually launch a war against Earth to gain independence, with mobile suits being used during battle.

The franchise was first created in 1979 and features a variety animated films, video games, novels, and toys alongside the animated series.
