Gundam.info has announced that there will be a live action movie of "Gundam RX78 - Hajimari" - "Hajimari" meaning "Beginning." They also named the actor for Amuro which will be Hiroshi Tamaki who you may already know from shows like Nodame. More info as soon as I get it.
Woow...can't hardly wait for the show. Let's see the legendary amuro rei on live action.
Wow! Looking forward to see this show. I hope it turns out well :D
this sounds legit at the same time happy april fools XDDD
"The cake is a lie"? XD
No the cake is delicious, but you can't have any unless you come back ; ) next point: Im cautious about this...maybe its an april fools trick...
too many april fools jokes :( but if your being serious...then i cant wait!!
Wow.. I've watched the Halo Live Action show.. Now a Gundam version is coming out?? Totally awesome!!
Even though the idea is great(actually i've been waiting for this for the longest time), we all should have known better by now, Japanese are the GODS of anime, but when it comes to Live-Action movies, everything from storyline to props to the acting becomes acid washed to no better than any B-movie no matter how hard they try. I really hope they don't screw this up.
true... too much bad samples
*examples
How much of a "beginning" are they going to Begin with? Will it have anything to do with Gundam 00?
nope, gundam 00 setting is in A.D. which is real time future world(hope there's a next G.W.bush in 23xx^^) gundam setting is in U.C. some kind of alliance Vs Zeon nazi.
My young pandawan, Gundam 00 is about the end of A.D. date and the beginning of the U.C. date. Hence Gundam "00". The whole story of Gundam 00 is the Origin of "Gundam" and the "Beginning" of Gundam. Have you watched ep25 of Gundam 00 yet? Pay close attention at the end of the whole show.
thank you for epic fail: Gundam 00 - "The series is set in the years 2307-2312 AD of the Gregorian calendar" Mobile Suit Gundam 0079 - "In a pre-production memo, Gundam creator Yoshiyuki Tomino wrote that the first series takes place in 2066 AD[2], which would have the Universal Century calendar starting in 1988 AD. However, a "2079" date stamp in the first Gundam series's episode 26 and a "2087" date stamp in Zeta Gundam's episode 8 indicated a 2001 AD starting date." "The proclamation that the setting would neither be in the Universal Century of the original nor the Cosmic Era of Gundam SEED, as stated by Sunrise's Yasuo Miyakawa, seems to have been followed through with." So the beginning is actually 230 or so years after the one year war, the gryps war, and the whole shabang... wow first time i have heard of this :3 i know that UC timeline had a lot of inconsistency but did they not say before 00 came out that these are two completely separate timelines, oh Lord Vader? fail
Thank you very much for that still confusing explanation. I knew if i "fail" epically enough, some real Gundam Master Dolphin Polisher will come fore and answer my original question. Sp from what i understand from you post is that Gundam 00 is not of the same time line as the original Gundam series or in fact any series that have ever been? e.g. First Contact of Star Trek has acutally nothing at all to do with the original Star Trek TV series?
A word of warning to the makers of this Live-action Gundam: G-SAVIOUR Happy April Fools!!
I read from the wikipedia article that the creator of Gundam didn't want anything to do with and so they can't put "Gundam" in their title in anyway. I saw some clips of it from youtube too, it's a real piece of shit.
oh god ai hope this isn't going to be like the first live action.
Happy April Fools! hehehe. Nice one Danny! This entry really made me smile. I don't see any articles at gundam.info pertaining to a live action movie :P
i totally forget what the article was about... I'm just enjoying the picture *__*
hehehe yeah..... (drools)
Hisroshi Tamaki as one of the Water Boys, I believe... Him as a gundam pilot, NEVER! I just can't imagince him piloting a gundam... It's just so wrong...
Yeah, apparently in this live action ver, Zeon wins the war, Char is a midget, and Amuro is actually a space cow. ;-)
Whether this news is real or fake, that actor has coolest voice~
I hope to see a cool 3dCG Visual Effects Gundam. hope it turns out well
If this isn't a joke, then I'll be damn. There is a limit to how many jokes you can put on for a day in my opinion. ^^;
Any nice girls in this movie?
Praying that Sayla Mass will be in.^^
Another Live-Action Gundam, sounds interesting. But I hope that this one will not be an epic fail like G-Saviour did.
Like so many other live action adaptations, I'm not holding my breath. Not to say I don't want it to do well, but I'm always leery of such things until I start to see product. Live action DBZ anyone?
Good to know this. Hopes all things goes smoothly and the next thing I would like to hear about is that they are "in production". Also glad that this series will be presented to us by the Japanese. G-Saviour was kinda bad. Hopes the success of this live action movie will path the future for more Gundam live action. Oh, and is it only me or is the chin/face of this guy too sharp to look like Amuro Ray? No matter how I look he doesnt look like Amuro to me. Maybe its the hair
wut? Shinichi Chiaki for Amuro? (o_0) I'd say Chiaki for Char. (0_o)
This better be as good as G-Saviour. Wait wut? (O_o") Oh yeah, G-Saviour was a pile of garbage.
Wow live action huh? Ill have to check that out when it has english subtitles.
Uhh i wouldn't be able to forgive an april fools with Hiroshi-sama <3 <3!! *swoon* If it's true then hurrah! ^^
He looks too FABULOUS and NICE GUY and COOL GUY to be playing Amuro.
He don't look 15 to me...
Noo!!! I been fooled€!!!
it's real people, read it in the newspapers today. industry light and magic will be doing the effect. george lucas will be producing and steven spielberg will be directing.

But then would't they have american stars for it?
nope. spielberg says he wants an all-japanese cast for this project.
It seems like Spielberg is bussy wrapping up Indiana Jones, Boom Blox and then start on Trial of the Chicago 7?
The suits will most probably be done in CG(ack, of course they will.) Crossing my fingers and hoping to heaven and hell it won't turn out like G-Saviour.
Hmm... Is this a movie or a drama?
an april fool like "Irem Zoo" + "GoodSmile Udon" isn't it?
lol, this guy's the "oldest" looking young actors I've ever seen. ^^
Sounds like an April fool to me. "Not even my dad hit me before" =P
All I can say is thanks for the sexy picture! Live action Gundam.. no comment. You've already gotten me with Miracle Mirai. >o<
this had better not be a prank ;_;
Ooo nice stuff, hmm I hope it's actually real and not just another 4/1 Joke. Do you have April Folls in Japan? if not then we're safe. Oh wait, nvm, I remember vrom Lucky Star. Hope this was a real one T-T
he looks nothing like amuro... Rather than doing a live action, I just wish they FINISHED 00 FIRST
rofl, man Danny, you really chummed the waters today. Total April Foolage. Too bad the same can't be said for the "I'm sure it will be dreadful" DBZ live action abomination soon to be churned out by the "magicians" at fox.
All I can say is set sail for fail. Last Gundam live action was a joke.
Ah! Kitaaaa! Hiroshi Tamaki as Amuro? All the better! Now I want to see a Kimagure Orange Road drama.
All I've seen today on all the websites I usually visit are full of lies.
Sounds too nice to be true XD
Ever since a photo in a Digital Photo Pro mag last year... I knew this was coming sooner or later.
nice... hiroshi tamaki is pimp.
Ohh I can't wait. This will certainly be interesting.
