We are just having fun reviewing and discussing comic books, graphic novels, manga, anime/animation, music and movies that we have recently read, listened to or watched.
Skydance Productions has optioned Space Battleship Yamato (Star Blazers) for a live action Hollywood film, according to The Sports Nippon newspaper. The article went on to state that Christopher McQuarrie will direct the movie after he is finished directing Mission Impossible 5. This will give Space Battleship Yamato a 2017 release date. We will have to wait and see if everything advances. If not we still have the anime series and Japan’s live action movie.
