Why would you want to give anything that you actually care about to "shit movies, shit ethics, and fucking yuppies: the region"? Not to mention the constant lack of care, research, and general mangling of source material such things always inevitably produce.

Go watch G-Saviour.

>>13689193

Ok, Let the guys from WETA and ILM work on the project sans influence from Jewwood and see what happens.

>>13689222
Yes, good, now it'll be in the hands of penniless geniuses and craftsmen whose work will be watched by a grand total of five people.

>>13689158
I can see the reviews summarized into a single sentence:
>It's Transformers meets Pacific Rim!
>It's a Transformers rip-off.
>It's a Pacific Rim rip-off.
Even if there's nothing alike.

More on topic though; what series would realistically be adapted?

I could see 08th MS Team being adapted, what with having what the general audience wants, violence, fights, and romance. Kiki could be written out along with some of the individual character episodes in order to further cut it.

Maybe The Origin if it was further condensed and edited for the general audience.

If we're stretching, some of the MSVs makes for open potential. 00, SEED, and UC all have a number of them that would allow for some Gundam action, or some grunt-action.

>>13689237

>Maybe The Origin if it was further condensed and edited for the general audience.

This.

>>13689158
>A Hollywood budget Gundam or something equivalent
That was literally The Last Starfighter, or Pacific Rim, or Star Wars.

>>13689237
It would be another original.

It would be the Marine version of Stealth (which was technically Navy) crossed with some 08th MS Team, but featuring Gundams launching from submarines, airdropped from large transports, or taking off from established bases.

Their enemy is an expy for China and Russia.

I'd probably just copypaste and pad out the movie trilogy.
Stuff I would change:
>no fucking kids
>Amuro is now an engineering student
>Mirai is the only Japanese on the White Base
>Char's mask is shiny chrome

>>13689275
No, I was the one saying it shouldn't be done at all.

Why the fuck would anyone want such a thing to be done? It's beyond me. I should've just said that first instead of saying Hollwood is shit, even if it is shit. I liked the War Orphans at any rate. I expected them to be annoying and got a nice group of background characters. Served me right for making assumptions.

>>13689278
Why would you post the .gif and not the WebM?

Anyway I can't fathom why anyone would want live action anything with robots in it. I shouldn't have posted at all.

Why do you need Jewlywood getting anywhere near Gundumb?

Do you need normalfags to validate for your manchild fixations THAT bad? Who cares if giant robot chinese cartoons remained fairly niche?

>I'd probably just copypaste and pad out the movie trilogy.
I always thought it could be condensed into two movies. Just make each a bit longer, and have events like Kai and Amuro leaving White Base happen simultaneously.

Same could be said of SW...oh wait, now its treading on an American franchise. Look, it would be something good either way.

Webbums are more of a pain to preview.

>>13689263
>>Mirai is the only Japanese on the White Base

That's literally the only way it could be done in America. 90% of the cast would be white.

>>13689301
We need to see the evil White Zeon be defeated by the multicultural White Base team!

>>13689390
Soo... just change Hayato?

>90% of the cast would be white.
Holy shit, a time traveler from the 80's. Get with the times grandpa, it's the PC age. Mostly white casts are a rarity.

>>13689412
>Mostly white casts are a rarity.

That's a fucking lie. The PC shit doesn't carry over to Hollywood. We've had directors and shit talk about how they have to have films with mostly white actors because that is what sells overseas.

>>13689425
Such as... ?

>The PC shit doesn't carry over to Hollywood.
I seriously have no answer for this.

>>13689390

>90% of the cast would be white.

...isn't that most anime in content anyhow?

>>13689445
Scott Ridley and Exodus. He said the reason everyone is white in the movie because a movie of that budget wouldn't get made without white actors carrying it.

Avatar The Last Airbender made all the good guys white

Akira, Ghost in The Shell etc

Show me these huge multicultural movies. 1 ethnic character like Johnny in Fantastic 4 isn't PC age. Show me these movies where everyone is hugely represented.

>>13689457
no?

Hello newfriend, A reminder that Hollywood tried to adapt Gundam into a live action movie back in the 80's with Syd Mead.

Lion's Gate was in the process of producing it, but no one bothered to tell Sunrise (or was it Bandai?) about it.

>>13689489
When the Japanese got wind of it, an instant cease and desist was issued, killing the project.
Syd Mead only finished working on the Zaku CAD IIRC.

>>13689158
The Gundam fan base is shit enough we don't need normies drawn in by the Hollywood action slog fest drawn in to fuck it up more.

Hmm, I can't seem to find the other concept art from it, but here have a Mead promo for Gundam Zeta from 1985 or so.

>>13689508
Looks like shit desu sempai
Glad it didn't happen. If a good director who knows the series and, like someone said earlier, ILM is on board then maybe it will end well but I don't want to settle for less than multi-million dollar production and risk ruining the name. Mostly due to >>13689501

>>13689489

...Lions Gate has been around that long?

What could have been...

>>13689328
Liam Neeson for Bright Noa.

>>13689696
Daily reminder that Bright Noa was 19

>>13689723
But we need to age-advance some of the cast anyway! This is the murrikan audience!

>>13689532
The Artist went on to do Turn A gundam so

>>13689986
so what faggot? Syd Mead has done tons of shit. Not all of it good. I liked his mobile suit design (which was all he did in Turn A) but I wouldn't want an entire Gundam movie looking like those pictures. Fishbowl unicycle is not a good way to introduce the hero of the story.

>>13689470
>Avatar The Last Airbender made all the good guys white
Which was one of many reasons it was panned and flopped.

The Elysium station looked good...can't say the same for other things with the film, but it was good.

>>13689237

If anyone was to make a serious live action Gundam, you'd have to start with the original MSG story.

Gotta make sure you keep the strong Nazi allegory, keep the political BS to a minimum, but still show both sides of the conflict, the Neon want for independence, the Federation struggle for control over the Sides.

Amuro the Skywalker-type reluctant hero, Char the enigmatic yet ruthless villain. It'd be perfect.

You wouldn't have to try and tell the whole 40+ episode story in a 90 minute movie, but you'd need a climactic battle for the end, either at Jaburo or A'boa Qu.

>>13694538
>circle is not parallel to surface
pls

>>13689328
>Amuro Ray: Elijah Wood

Elijiah Wood is 34 years old.
Amuro is a teenager when MSG starts.

These kinds of casting lists are always stupid, because you'd never cast that many known stars in the same goddamn movie, much less a Gundam movie.

>>13694638
I think so too. However I still think the biggest block would be Newtypes. Everybody's going to consider them Jedi rip-offs or total BS.

>>13694649
Where do we find a list of relatively unknown actors to pick from, then? And if you had to chose 1 or 2 stars to keep, who would you?

>>13694702
...Newtypes are rip-offs of Jedis though.

>>13694740
That doesn't take away from my enjoyment though. It will for a Hollywood audience, especially since the new trilogy won't end until 2020-ish.

Forget Gundam, I just want a big budget blockbuster with fast flying fighting robots.
