@@TheBigExclusive Then what is wrong with the director who doesn’t much with Japanese media or the source material? I find nothing wrong with live action Alita: Battle Angel by James Cameron, even despite I haven’t yet watched it....
My confidence in an adaptation is always raised whenever I hear that someone is a fan of it. This will at least be a movie where you’ll be able to see a lot of love being poured into it.
Its so hard to please the fans but I think your doing a great job considering its a first excluding G-Savior . I cant wait to properly watch the show as well
He also had a pilot idea of a metroid game in the line of a horror, this guys actually pretty solid and influenced by these stuff so hopefully hell stick to the source matetial and not fuck us over.
It's because how people see animations when Gundam was brought, even most of otakus still "yikes Mecha Anime" beside most of them loves Code Geass... When I watch code geass the only thing that came to my mind was "what if Amuro and Char were childhood friends and had magic in they world"
Most Western fans only know, and like Gundam wing, and some really don't like the original Mobile Suit Gundam because of how whiny Amuro the equivalent of Luke Skywalker is.
@@myujokt733 Yup, Gundam Wing was a success in the West but unfortunately doesn't go as far back as the originals. Wing was a great entry point into Gundam like WFM today but their stories pale from other better series despite their success.

@@theodoredexter6540 But it's coming to wokeflix - i.e. I'm surprised anyone is delusional enough to get their hopes up considering their track record with butchering anime properties.
Seeing his old kits, all from from the beginnings of the GUNDAM boom in the US. I see you're one of us. I look forward to what you bring to the table. Stay true and don't falter. This means a lot to all of us.
Jordan, l don’t know if you’ll read this but l met Gundam in 93 working in Japan and it blew up my mind, and now you’re leading a team to make our dreams come true. As a fan, l know you gonna give your best, then don’t let others mess with us the fans! Hugs from Brazil!
It's definitely an uphill battle, but just keep at it! Appreciate you coming out to talk to everyone and I for one would love hearing anything you can talk about or even your interests in Gundam here on RUclips. I think the more in front of this you are for the fans, the better. Best of Luck!
Nice to see that he's truly one of us. Building imported Gunpla in the MID-90s in the west is a sign of the true hardcore life long fan. That's impressive.
That's Crazy Metal Gear and Gundam!?! Ever since the first Transformers movie I saw the GCI and said if only they did this to Gundam. G Gundam. Every country battling it out would be amazing. Congratulations and please update us on MGS.
Please show more screen times of ordinary soldiers fighting for survival. I know the good old teenage hero saves the world thing is always a thing in Gundam, but what differs Gundam from other animes was that it shows how brutal and merciless war can be to ordinary people, both soldiers and citizens.
though the source material has always been a young male pilot in their teens i would rather see a more mature looking pilot late 20s maybe, oh and i dont want Harry Potter shit either lol fn 20s actn like 13 year olds. but yeah i hope he captures that termoil the protags always face....
@@ShadowDeus you dont seem to want to see gundam then, child soldiers piloting advanced war machines and coming in terms with the fact that they need to kill or be killed has always been a part of gundam so a young protagonist would be great.
Good luck, Jordan! There's a lot riding on this film being a good one. I'm hoping you and your production team knock it out the park and give us more Gundam movies.
I hope that Director Jordan Vogt-Roberts will cast Miss Stefanie Joosten in the Gundam movie. She’s a Gundam fan and she’s also worked in Hideo Kojima’s Metal Gear Solid V.
Jordan is the first of many young directors who grew up with anime and video games, your goin to see more of them wanting they shot at making a adaptation of what they love. He's a great director and cant wait to see what he's goin to do.
War in the pocket, no better material for a feature length film, captures the gundam lore and core with utmost perfection all while showing but a fraction and hinting everything there is from the one year war to Char’s counterattack.
This guy is in charge of both the Gundam AND the Metal Gear Solid movie, two franchises that I hold dearest close to my heart. I want to say that I’m worried, but I’m kind of cautiously optimistic because he seems like a decent guy, a diehard fan with very similar interests to mine, and someone who is grateful to be in charge of those properties. I know I’d be nothing but honored to be afforded those luxuries, and I feel like he knows this and is appreciative of being handed them so he knows he must handle these projects with great care. I’m more cautiously optimistic about his projects than I am about that disappointing live action Cowboy Bebop series coming up on Netflix.
@@kyleaugustine6886 in this case if rhey ducked up the universal century story then Ngl me and others will get pissed. 1. Ducking sunrise for many years we ask for streamable/digital purchase of older Gundam series set in U.C and that never happened until the last year. That’s all due to covid and then losing profits, need to expand and get ppl attention so they finally caved. So in odd way thanks to covid to force sunrise hand. 2. Of all things U.C get left out the most especially with a whole slew of new U.C content besides anime be mangas and games. Hell mangas especially with Moon Gundam manga written by fukui who did Unicorn and narrative and others like 0083 rebellion, thunderbolt and such. 3.

General audience needs to understand...what makes gundam great is not about the dueling action of giant robots... Its about the humans character's drama, stories and politics.the heroes goals and dreams and the Villain's plans and purpose. There is no good guy vs bad guys. 2 different factions collides to achieve their goals. If he dumbs down gundam. The purist eill hate it. If he makes it more on the human stories will have mix reactions... Its has to be just right. Gundam stories cant be told in a 2hours movie at least have do 3 movies .. The first is world buildings & characters... The 2nd movie politic.. strategy, fights . 3rd movie...closure final battle. Also to me gundam must not have a happy ending... Must be bittersweet.
Honestly, I hope they go in the same route like pacific rim when the jeagers had moving mechinal parts, and also feeling the weight, and the speed when they walk or run, and to give a sense of scale just how tall they are.
The fact that this man is putting himself out here for the world to see with this video tells me all I need to know. That I have to watch this the moment it drops.
At least he pulled some ancient kits I haven't seen before, not some recently released kits just to buy the favor of the fan. Now I am looking towards this movie.
I have faith in him, I believe he truly knows what Gundam is about, but I'm afraid he knows too much, much more than the millions of "fans" that claim to have watched every show yet still don't get the point, who will just look at nothing but the designs and shout "This is not Gundam!!", give the film a bad rep and push new fans away.

the fact he's a fan of gundam makes this worlds better. I was so scared they were just going to throw in a big time director who would probably make a good movie. but not capture the essence of Gundam. I'm now even more juiced!
I think this film will be phenomenal, because it is in the right hands; Jorden Vogt as director and producer, Brian K Vaughan as the writer and Legendary Pictures as the main production studio. I have full hopes on this movie, and I hope that it will popularise the Gundam franchise specifically in the West.
He earned my trust with Kong: Skull Island. A film that to this day is such a beautiful and well shot fun monster mash movie. Love this guy and his work. And I love how passionate he is for nerdy stuff like MGS and Gundam! Super cool guy.
It's almost always a good sign when people who actually like and are previously familiar with a franchise are in charge of adapting it. I'm looking forward to this.
This man just defended Turn A gundam on twitter, I think this movie is in good hands Upon hearing Legendary I have hope that they do the mobile suit designs justice. “First PROPER adaption of Mobile Suit Gundam.” Thank you.
I'm rooting for this guy and the writer. They clearly know and love the series. Here's hoping that translates into a great movie that brings more people into the Gundam world than ever before!
he's so nervous and I can see why you have the weight of such an amazing and enriched story to do so I say power to him and good luck man we are here for it and So glad you're a genuine fan
Such a huge undertaking to adapt this big of a franchise to a medium that It rarely been in. Especially with the large and plethera of conveluded history and contexts with Gundam. I wish Jordan and his team the best of luck with this project.
Wow, this is a surprise. Hollywood picked a good person for this job, someone who is also a fan himself. They know there is much expectation for this project, I feel hopeful, but we just have to wait and see, as long as this director gets to make the film he wants to make, we should be fine.

Dude, you look like you're vibrating with excitement.

I hope you get to make the movie you want to make, that you and your crew enjoy it, and you end up with something you're proud to show us. :) If not, we might have to drop a colony on your house.
For one side is legendary, who know how to do with giant stuff, for the other, I hope they don't force inclusion, yes... I'm looking at you Netflix Even with that we can see he's a true fan, that old gunpla and expensive nu say everything, and as he says, sunrise is involved in the project, I can't wait to see this
HOLY FUCKING SHIT DUDE!!! Thank you for making a video about this. It's amazing to see that we have a director who's as passionate about Gundam as we are. I can't wait to see this!
I hope katoki hajime will be involved in this. And the time line is Universal Century because the Newtypes are as enigmatic as the Jedi in the Star wars universe.
We need grimy, dark drama with gut wrenching action. We need agonizing great victories with a price. We need to Love and hate Char. You do this right this franchise will blow up in the states. This is more than making gunpla. You mess it up then the franchise will never make it here. I hope you realize the weight of what your taking on. Dont f it up.
Please don't let this be one of many films that get talked about and hyped only to get canceled. And if it actually does happen, please, don't screw it up Jordan.
I think Jordan is right person for the job. He has knowledge of and respect for the origin of Gundam, and I feel he will do his best to portray the Gundam franchise accurately in live action. Looking forward to viewing his work.
I suppose if the guy is a fan of Gundam and had a bit of history with it, the movie would be in good hands. Then again, Paul W.S. Anderson apparently said he was a fan of Monster Hunter and hardly anyone in the MH community spoke praises of the movie even after it came out. Best case scenario, the lowest this movie could go would be in the “some people may genuinely like it and but everyone else is gonna roast it” range.
I think Jordan will do this movie right. Looking at some of his tweets he def has knowledge of and passion for the franchise. Live action anime adaptions have a rough history to them for sure, but I am cautiously optimistic that this will turn out well.
Why R rated? What would that do that can't be done with a more accessible rating? If you just want _IBO_ 's blood and grit, you could probably get away with that with 14A or MA.
Nah id rather have have it set during OYW from the eyes of a Earth federation pilot like 08th ms team. It would allow people to understand what Gundam UC is all about. Not many people in the US understand gundam and pass it off as transformers so this movie is very important.
Actually imho they don't, because as beautiful as Gundam Hathaway looked, it really felt more like a 90 minute prologue with too much filler in it, and unfortunately a main character whose continuing trait since his previous appearances is being unsympathetic. Kong: Skull Island was a good film, and I'd rather they try to bring that quality into Gundam.
@@cooliotopnotch6287 Trash film eh? You are in the super minority then. Kong was good enough to get people interested in the character, and that is all that counts for sales. Hathaway was a nice looking film but boring and slow paced. A series would have better suited it.
@@BeyondDaX well i have mediocre hopes for it, his interview at e3 made it seem more like an AU than a live action adaptation of 0079 or some crap like wing or IBO.
Agreed. That or 08MS. No crazy space spirit super human new-type shenanigans, no over the top action with every MS posing for pulling out a beam sabre, no super sized beam cannon or sword that destroy planets. Just grounded relatively realistic depiction of a future war with giant robots. But if he wants to do the whole rivalry of Char and Amuro I'm totally fine with that too.

Like his wife, his daughters prefer Bollywood movies, so he would take me to see his Gunpla collection whenever I visited. I will watch the original 1979 Anime just before this movie releases to prepare to shed tears of joy that should have been his.
The Fact that he has Full Burnern as one of his Gunpla brings me joy.
Director of Kong Skull Island, I’m excited to see this live action Gundam adaptation to have a theatrical release, at lease in Japan.
Cast Tom Hiddleston (Loki) as Char!
@@Strawberryknight I... would like to see that but not convinced it would work.
@@MasterSwo i saw a thumbnail of a photoshopped tom holland head on top of a federation pilot's head
Does anyone else think the honor of Directing a live action Gundam should have been given to a Japanese .... or Asian director? I know there are plenty of Asian directors in Hollywood that would have loved to direct Gundam. Black Panther was celebrated for having a black director. It seems only fitting that Gundam should be directed by an Asian Hollywood director.
@@TheBigExclusive Then what is wrong with the director who doesn’t much with Japanese media or the source material? I find nothing wrong with live action Alita: Battle Angel by James Cameron, even despite I haven’t yet watched it....
My confidence in an adaptation is always raised whenever I hear that someone is a fan of it. This will at least be a movie where you’ll be able to see a lot of love being poured into it.
Mine is lessenned since if you need to advertize it like this its always fake
@mpo48 yeah, ok. Clearly never seen his twitter feed.
Its so hard to please the fans but I think your doing a great job considering its a first excluding G-Savior . I cant wait to properly watch the show as well
Make Gundam so popular, that everyone knows what the franchise is!
@@BeyondDaX Then how come shows like Evangelion are still so recognisable in media?
Gundam shall rise again
@@gundam5281 Because memes and Waifus
@@BeyondDaX Fucking hell, what a society we live in....
He's Directing both Gundam and Metal Gear Solid
Yeah, he might gonna fuck up both my favorites lmao
He also had a pilot idea of a metroid game in the line of a horror, this guys actually pretty solid and influenced by these stuff so hopefully hell stick to the source matetial and not fuck us over.
I have a bad feeling about this...
@@sickman5236 HAN SOLO (EU): Join the club.
I don't understand how a franchise like this failed so hard in the West....Its stories are well written and its serious tones are phenomenal.
It's because how people see animations when Gundam was brought, even most of otakus still "yikes Mecha Anime" beside most of them loves Code Geass... When I watch code geass the only thing that came to my mind was "what if Amuro and Char were childhood friends and had magic in they world"
Most Western fans only know, and like Gundam wing, and some really don't like the original Mobile Suit Gundam because of how whiny Amuro the equivalent of Luke Skywalker is.
@@myujokt733 Yup, Gundam Wing was a success in the West but unfortunately doesn't go as far back as the originals. Wing was a great entry point into Gundam like WFM today but their stories pale from other better series despite their success.
I do not envy this man. You can tell he knows how important this film is to the community.
I'm glad he's an actual fan instead of going Michael bay with the transformers and going "I can do better" and proceeding to to make 5 dumpster fires of movies with characters and a plot that barely resembled the source material
They may of been dumpster fires but they made their money back enough to do 5 movies so something was working
@@inuclearpickle8628 it was the action which was pretty cool but it's not really transformers when optimus prime is a cold blooded killer who doesn't feal any remorse or guilt
@@theodoredexter6540 honestly I don’t really know the source material but the movie were pretty bad from characters to the distracting advertisements.
@@inuclearpickle8628 if you are unfamiliar with transformers outside of the movies, i personally recommend you read transformer: stand of the wreckers! it isn't perfect but it is a beloved tf comic and its only like 5 or 6 issues, so its a quick read. phenomenal writing, great characters, lots of action and lovely artwork. it's simple enough where it requires basically no context going in.
@@theodoredexter6540 But it's coming to wokeflix - i.e. I'm surprised anyone is delusional enough to get their hopes up considering their track record with butchering anime properties.
Its reassuring to know he’s built Gunpla in the past, and Skull Island was pretty good too so i think this movie will be a good one
GUNDAM IS AN UNTAPPED MOVIE GOLD MINE.
What Gundam fans need to realise is that Gundam was never meant to surround itself with the mobile suits, but the story, characters and themes.
Gundam should stay to be made for the fans by the fans. Im glad to say Sunrise is one of the media companies that understands this.
Seeing his old kits, all from from the beginnings of the GUNDAM boom in the US. I see you're one of us. I look forward to what you bring to the table. Stay true and don't falter. This means a lot to all of us.
Jordan, l don’t know if you’ll read this but l met Gundam in 93 working in Japan and it blew up my mind, and now you’re leading a team to make our dreams come true.
As a fan, l know you gonna give your best, then don’t let others mess with us the fans!
Hugs from Brazil!
It's definitely an uphill battle, but just keep at it! Appreciate you coming out to talk to everyone and I for one would love hearing anything you can talk about or even your interests in Gundam here on RUclips. I think the more in front of this you are for the fans, the better. Best of Luck!
I hope Hiroyuki Sawano will be in charge of the score. He's on par with Williams, Morricone or Zimmer, the world needs to know him.
Nice to see that he's truly one of us. Building imported Gunpla in the MID-90s in the west is a sign of the true hardcore life long fan. That's impressive.
That's Crazy Metal Gear and Gundam!?! Ever since the first Transformers movie I saw the GCI and said if only they did this to Gundam. G Gundam. Every country battling it out would be amazing. Congratulations and please update us on MGS.
Please show more screen times of ordinary soldiers fighting for survival. I know the good old teenage hero saves the world thing is always a thing in Gundam, but what differs Gundam from other animes was that it shows how brutal and merciless war can be to ordinary people, both soldiers and citizens.
though the source material has always been a young male pilot in their teens i would rather see a more mature looking pilot late 20s maybe, oh and i dont want Harry Potter shit either lol fn 20s actn like 13 year olds.
but yeah i hope he captures that termoil the protags always face....
@@ShadowDeus you dont seem to want to see gundam then, child soldiers piloting advanced war machines and coming in terms with the fact that they need to kill or be killed has always been a part of gundam so a young protagonist would be great.
Guys don’t worry. The director got passion for this film and a weeb like us. I’m sure it’ll be a great film. Keep it up man!!!
Good luck, Jordan!
There's a lot riding on this film being a good one.
I'm hoping you and your production team knock it out the park and give us more Gundam movies.
I hope that Director Jordan Vogt-Roberts will cast Miss Stefanie Joosten in the Gundam movie. She’s a Gundam fan and she’s also worked in Hideo Kojima’s Metal Gear Solid V.
Waited a long time for the trailer
wowzers i actually have faith in the guy. those mid 90s kits are cred
Hiroyuki Sawano should be the composer for the live action Gundam movie. I mean his music meets the expectations of Hollywood including vocal songs.
Jordan is the first of many young directors who grew up with anime and video games, your goin to see more of them wanting they shot at making a adaptation of what they love. He's a great director and cant wait to see what he's goin to do.
War in the pocket, no better material for a feature length film, captures the gundam lore and core with utmost perfection all while showing but a fraction and hinting everything there is from the one year war to Char’s counterattack.
As someone who had the "pleasure" of watching G-Savior when it came out I can say I am confident in Vogt-Roberts.
頼むジョーダン！
日本人がガンダムだと感じられる物を作ってくれ！！
ドラゲンボーやガッジーラじゃないヤツを！！！
This guy is in charge of both the Gundam AND the Metal Gear Solid movie, two franchises that I hold dearest close to my heart. I want to say that I’m worried, but I’m kind of cautiously optimistic because he seems like a decent guy, a diehard fan with very similar interests to mine, and someone who is grateful to be in charge of those properties. I know I’d be nothing but honored to be afforded those luxuries, and I feel like he knows this and is appreciative of being handed them so he knows he must handle these projects with great care. I’m more cautiously optimistic about his projects than I am about that disappointing live action Cowboy Bebop series coming up on Netflix.
“Proper” Gundam movie
>Live-action
>Netflix
Oh boy oh boy can’t wait…..
gundam fan as director and the studio who did pacific rim. this might actualy be good.
@@sixwingproductions Netflix steady ruining things they touch.
@@bozopatrol5615 theyre just the distributors
the netflix part is what got me hesitant lol js look at deathnote
He has Gundam and Metal Gear on both of his hands.
Man, if he can do those justice.. Damn.. just damn. Live Action Japanese Mecha!!!!!!
If I can say one thing it's this " Don't pull a Star Wars sequel trilogy with this project."
Actually, if he's adapting the original series, then a trilogy would really flesh out the story.
@mrmegarock58 Screwing up Star Wars, means you anger a fan base. Screw up Gundam means you anger a fanbase *_AND_* a whole nation.
@@kyleaugustine6886 in this case if rhey ducked up the universal century story then Ngl me and others will get pissed.
1. Ducking sunrise for many years we ask for streamable/digital purchase of older Gundam series set in U.C and that never happened until the last year. That’s all due to covid and then losing profits, need to expand and get ppl attention so they finally caved. So in odd way thanks to covid to force sunrise hand.
2. Of all things U.C get left out the most especially with a whole slew of new U.C content besides anime be mangas and games. Hell mangas especially with Moon Gundam manga written by fukui who did Unicorn and narrative and others like 0083 rebellion, thunderbolt and such.
3. Fucking hell sunrise need to fully adapt Gundam: the Origin! There is a demand for that especially that test tease years ago.
Yes. We don't need a character who is perfect in every way. What we want is a spoiled teenager who's becoming a better person as the story progress

An Old School Gundam fan making a Proper Film?? Now You got my Attention
General audience needs to understand...what makes gundam great is not about the dueling action of giant robots... Its about the humans character's drama, stories and politics.the heroes goals and dreams and the Villain's plans and purpose. There is no good guy vs bad guys. 2 different factions collides to achieve their goals.
If he dumbs down gundam. The purist eill hate it. If he makes it more on the human stories will have mix reactions...
Its has to be just right.
Gundam stories cant be told in a 2hours movie at least have do 3 movies ..
The first is world buildings & characters...
The 2nd movie politic.. strategy, fights .
3rd movie...closure final battle.
Also to me gundam must not have a happy ending... Must be bittersweet.
Honestly, I hope they go in the same route like pacific rim when the jeagers had moving mechinal parts, and also feeling the weight, and the speed when they walk or run, and to give a sense of scale just how tall they are.
We _have_ seen a live-action-sh Gundam, in _Ready Player One_ .
I really wish that the Movie arrives to Cinemas and not just NetFlix, please Hollywood, don't Blow It
The fact that this man is putting himself out here for the world to see with this video tells me all I need to know. That I have to watch this the moment it drops.
Like a colony?
@@Sm00k sieg zeon
Better get out of Australia
At least he pulled some ancient kits I haven't seen before, not some recently released kits just to buy the favor of the fan.
Now I am looking towards this movie.
This man knows what he's doing, now it's up to the executives to allow him to do what he needs to do.
I have faith in him, I believe he truly knows what Gundam is about, but I'm afraid he knows too much, much more than the millions of "fans" that claim to have watched every show yet still don't get the point, who will just look at nothing but the designs and shout "This is not Gundam!!", give the film a bad rep and push new fans away.

How about the creator who made gundam directs the live action
the fact he's a fan of gundam makes this worlds better. I was so scared they were just going to throw in a big time director who would probably make a good movie. but not capture the essence of Gundam. I'm now even more juiced!
Can't wait for that Gundam movie. I was a Gundam geek. As a young boy.
I think this film will be phenomenal, because it is in the right hands; Jorden Vogt as director and producer, Brian K Vaughan as the writer and Legendary Pictures as the main production studio. I have full hopes on this movie, and I hope that it will popularise the Gundam franchise specifically in the West.
He earned my trust with Kong: Skull Island. A film that to this day is such a beautiful and well shot fun monster mash movie. Love this guy and his work. And I love how passionate he is for nerdy stuff like MGS and Gundam! Super cool guy.
It's almost always a good sign when people who actually like and are previously familiar with a franchise are in charge of adapting it. I'm looking forward to this.
And I'm excited for you and your partners to make the live-action of Mobile Suit Gundam!!!! Best of luck to you!!!!!
This man just defended Turn A gundam on twitter, I think this movie is in good hands Upon hearing Legendary I have hope that they do the mobile suit designs justice. “First PROPER adaption of Mobile Suit Gundam.”
Thank you.
legendary did pacific rim so we know they can do mechs right with the right director.
I want to see a Mobile Suit Gundam: Origins Live-Action
on Zeon's perspective as well.
I'm rooting for this guy and the writer. They clearly know and love the series. Here's hoping that translates into a great movie that brings more people into the Gundam world than ever before!
he's so nervous and I can see why you have the weight of such an amazing and enriched story to do so I say power to him and good luck man we are here for it and So glad you're a genuine fan
Gundam needs to take the dive in becoming extremely ambitious.
Gundam should not just exist to sell Gunpla, but to also tell great stories.
Such a huge undertaking to adapt this big of a franchise to a medium that It rarely been in. Especially with the large and plethera of conveluded history and contexts with Gundam. I wish Jordan and his team the best of luck with this project.
Wow, this is a surprise. Hollywood picked a good person for this job, someone who is also a fan himself. They know there is much expectation for this project, I feel hopeful, but we just have to wait and see, as long as this director gets to make the film he wants to make, we should be fine.

Dude, you look like you're vibrating with excitement. As a super fan, I know there's only so much a director can do to make a movie good, but it seems like you're the EXACT person to helm this project. I hope you get to make the movie you want to make, that you and your crew enjoy it, and you end up with something you're proud to show us. :) If not, we might have to drop a colony on your house.
You have to see this man's twitter. He is a huge Gundam fan, more than any of us watching this video, he has seen it ALL.
Imagine if the movie was trash tho lol
@@MrB00mbang it is not the end of the world...
I'm glad they got a fan to work on this project. That gives me hope that it'll be good.

For one side is legendary, who know how to do with giant stuff, for the other, I hope they don't force inclusion, yes... I'm looking at you Netflix
Even with that we can see he's a true fan, that old gunpla and expensive nu say everything, and as he says, sunrise is involved in the project, I can't wait to see this
HOLY FUCKING SHIT DUDE!!! Thank you for making a video about this. It's amazing to see that we have a director who's as passionate about Gundam as we are. I can't wait to see this!
I hope katoki hajime will be involved in this. And the time line is Universal Century because the Newtypes are as enigmatic as the Jedi in the Star wars universe.
We need grimy, dark drama with gut wrenching action. We need agonizing great victories with a price. We need to Love and hate Char. You do this right this franchise will blow up in the states. This is more than making gunpla. You mess it up then the franchise will never make it here. I hope you realize the weight of what your taking on. Dont f it up.
Gundam has so much potential to become one of the greatest anime and media of all time....It just needs to unleash it....
Please don't let this be one of many films that get talked about and hyped only to get canceled. And if it actually does happen, please, don't screw it up Jordan.
I think Jordan is right person for the job. He has knowledge of and respect for the origin of Gundam, and I feel he will do his best to portray the Gundam franchise accurately in live action. Looking forward to viewing his work.
Aa long as he show us the live-action scene of "Bright Slap* I'm IN!.
Good luck, man!
I am relieved that the live action movie is being handled by a gundam fan also...man, I can't wait for this
I suppose if the guy is a fan of Gundam and had a bit of history with it, the movie would be in good hands. Then again, Paul W.S. Anderson apparently said he was a fan of Monster Hunter and hardly anyone in the MH community spoke praises of the movie even after it came out.
Best case scenario, the lowest this movie could go would be in the “some people may genuinely like it and but everyone else is gonna roast it” range.
I think Jordan will do this movie right. Looking at some of his tweets he def has knowledge of and passion for the franchise. Live action anime adaptions have a rough history to them for sure, but I am cautiously optimistic that this will turn out well.
I know it's probably not possible, but I'd like to see an R Rated Gundam series and a prequel series to IBO focused on the calamity wars.
Why R rated? What would that do that can't be done with a more accessible rating? If you just want _IBO_ 's blood and grit, you could probably get away with that with 14A or MA.
@@BNuts he’s saying the bath scene like with Fraw and sayla

Legendary is involved. This has potential to be good, if done right.
Assuming Netflix doesn't play that "insert diversity" quota into this production.
@@ericfrancisco6615 they only do distribution for the movie. Sunrise/Legendary play the Big part of the project
@@ericfrancisco6615 oh no please don't it will ruin the movie just keep the source material
I hope the movie is not a direct adaption of the og series, but more like a original retelling like Seed did
I hope so too. I want an original story. Knowing Netflix been a big sjws.
Seed was barely a retelling.
Nah id rather have have it set during OYW from the eyes of a Earth federation pilot like 08th ms team. It would allow people to understand what Gundam UC is all about. Not many people in the US understand gundam and pass it off as transformers so this movie is very important.
After watching this video, I feel like the Live Action movie will be an absolute success. Good luck for this director, he has my backing!
I just can not wait!!! Good luck, Jordan!
Their team needs to watch Hathaway and make sure the live action movie’s up to par.
It's a netflix production, made by a guy who got his job strictly due to nepotism....
AKA I have some bad news for you.
Actually imho they don't, because as beautiful as Gundam Hathaway looked, it really felt more like a 90 minute prologue with too much filler in it, and unfortunately a main character whose continuing trait since his previous appearances is being unsympathetic.
Kong: Skull Island was a good film, and I'd rather they try to bring that quality into Gundam.
@@StrikeNoir105E Ahhh so you want woke transformers lmao. Also, Kong was a trash film for children - c'mon, get it together
@@cooliotopnotch6287 Trash film eh? You are in the super minority then. Kong was good enough to get people interested in the character, and that is all that counts for sales. Hathaway was a nice looking film but boring and slow paced. A series would have better suited it.

Piece advice jordan. make sure you know your source material.
@@djemba im a seed fan but that as whole doesn't inspire much confidence

@@BeyondDaX he just did
@@KS-qr1ry Proves it by the actual product, the film/series...not his gunpla.

Wishing you guys the best!! Looking forward to your work!
Thanks for the message and best of fortune.
If it's a live action adaptation of an existing series, then adapting the War in the Pocket OVAs might be the best move.
Agreed. That or 08MS. No crazy space spirit super human new-type shenanigans, no over the top action with every MS posing for pulling out a beam sabre, no super sized beam cannon or sword that destroy planets. Just grounded relatively realistic depiction of a future war with giant robots.
But if he wants to do the whole rivalry of Char and Amuro I'm totally fine with that too.
@@xikungao2376 True, but it's going to take at least a movie trilogy to tell the full story of 0079. Unless it's very rushed.
