Future Fighters: Fanboy Friendly Mecha
Future Fighters is in the early stages as a film, but as a mecha fanboy who is obsessed with robots and spacecraft I really like what I see so far. This international project is being produced by British movie producer Guy Orlebar who is teaming up Korean director Nelson Shin (who was behind the 1986 animated Transformers film) and will star Japanese actress Rina Takeda of High-Kick Girl fame. But what I really love about what I see so far is the colorful anime inspired pre-production art which makes my inner geek happy:
Right now the film is still coming together (they’re aiming for release in 2012) — but being a low budget project (they’re aiming to make the film for $10 million which is low by Hollywood standards) I’d say that they have a decent shot. If you’d like to show you support for the film you can follow them on Twitter or Facebook.
