[Outsiders]

Legendary Pictures announced at the Anime Expo at the Los Angeles Convention Center today that they are teaming up with Japan's Sunrise Inc. to produce a live-action film based on Gundam, the popular Mecha anime and sci-fi franchise.

The original Gundam series is set in the Universal Century, an era in which humanity’s growing population has led people to emigrate to space colonies. Eventually, the people living in the colonies launch a war of independence against Earth, with the main characters piloting robots known as mobile suits.

Plot details are under wraps.

This could be either great or suck really bad. I am one that really love Ghost in the Shell and if it is as good as that is half way there. Tehre was also a rumor about an Akira movie and I never heard of that again. 

People could also think that is like Pacific Rim on Space.  I know it won't be, but people can be judgmental. Anyway. I hope it succeds because that anime is awesome and they still make figures and model kits from the original anime and they sell very well.
