Banrise hates money

What makes you think they would like 0079?

If you would like to make a hunger games story, you would have to make Zeon a complete dystopia, make main heroes nonconformist, add cheap love story (even cheaper than Amuro's attraction to Lalah) and so on. And put a girl as the MC. Otherwise this shit won't sell.

Fuck no, why would you want that ?

He's from America.

I still haven't seen a live action adaption that's top the Rurouni Kenshin trilogy yet.
And most every other franchise that tried afterwards have been subpar: Attack on Titan, Lupin the 3rd, etc.

They don't have the staff to produce a Hollywood-tier live action movie internally.

If they go to Hollywood and fund it being made, it will cost them hundreds of millions of dollars that they'll never recoup thanks to Hollywood accounting - if we want to talk late '70s SF megahits, Return of the Jedi lost money for Lucasfilms as a theatrical release even being self-funded out of the earnings from ANH/ESB.

If they sell the rights to produce and market a movie based on the Gundam story, they will make almost nothing besides the up-front payment, and ream out their real moneymaker of toys and merch as suddenly Hasbro or someone fires up the lines having secured the rights to produce merchandise for Steven Spielburg's /Newtype/.

Kenshin works because all other samurai movies are also made with tiny Japan budgets by Japanese who couldn't make an impact on the world stage. Gundam doesn't have that luxury.

It helps that the sets are more or less all the same based on historic Edo or Kyoto. That's much cheaper to pull off and leave money for other things than constructing actual sci-fi looking sets and proper CGI

Losing money is a tax avoidance scheme

If the entire production is vertically integrated. If it's not, the same factors that let profits and losses be assigned to game taxes also let you game which of the companies involved get to keep the money.

Nandai knows damn well how hard they can get fucked by the distributor, because it's the same fucking they gave Sunrise.
