Gatchaman – back from the abyss
Surprise, surprise. It looked like Imagi Studio Gatchaman have gotten a second life. The movie was in Limbo until a new trailer was released. According to TwitchFilm, the animated film is currently in pre-production and its expected to be out in 2011.
Contrary to my pessimistic outlook on the future of Imagi Studios after it ran into some financial problems, I’m glad to say the studio has somehow pull themselves out of the hole. In this new chapter for the company, its management has undergone major restructuring and the official site has been updated with a teaser trailer to Gatchaman which has the Science Ninja Team swiftly dispatching a spider mecha with each using their trademark weapons. According to former Imagi creative & art director Flex Ip, the so-call latest trailer was actually done before Imagi issue the closing of its animation department.
The animated film is currently in pre-production and its expected to be out in 2011. You’ll find the 1-minute teaser embedded below. As an extra treat for Gatchaman fans, I also included some earlier work-in-progress animation and other related videos.
