Monday, January 4, 2010 at 3:05AM
I've posted here before on how Hollywood has recently set its sights on adapting any intellectual property from the world of Japanese manga and anime that it could get its hands on.
Recently however, the Japanese film industry has taken cues from Hollywood and have begun some live action film adaptation of their own.
So without further adieu, here is the trailer for the upcoming Japanese live action adaptation of the 70s anime watershed, Space Battleship Yamato:
If you're old enough, you may remember this show called Starblazers [wikipedia.org] that aired on TV back in the late 70s which of course was simply the original Yamato anime adapted for the English speaking world.
Of note, the Japanese live action Yamato will feature eternal, Nippon bo-hunk heart-throb, Kimura Takuya [wikipedia.org] in the role of series hero, Susumu Kodai.
This of course means that, as far as the Japanese movie-going public is concerned, this film is already a guaranteed box-office smash. Space Battleship Yamato hits Japanese theaters sometime in 2010.
