Live Action Gatchaman to Star Shinkenger’s Tori Matsuzaka

After many years of rumors and failed attempts at making this thing a reality, there is finally going to be a live action Kagaku Ninjatai Gatchaman movie.

The movie is going to star Tori Matsuzaka, otherwise known as Shiba Takeru / ShinkenRed in Samurai Sentai Shinkenger. Joining him are actors Gou Ayano (Crows Zero 2) as Jou, Ayami Gouriki (Future Diary) as Jun, Tatsuomi Hamada (Ultraman Zero the Movie) as Jinpei, the youngest member of the team, and Ryouhei Suzuki (HanaKimi Ikemen Paradise) as Ryu. The movie is expected to be released next year and will have its script written by Yuusuke Watanabe, known for his work on Gantz, Bloody Monday, and 20th Century Boys. In the director’s seat is Toya Sato, behind Grave of the Fireflies and Gokusen. It’s said that the film will employ a great amount of CG and be handled by Takashi Yamazaki in that area. Yamazaki is the visual effects director behind the super seuccessful Space Battleship Yamato.

Gatchaman influenced the creation of the fan-favorite Sentai series, Chojin Sentai Jetman. Filming begins October 15th and the movie is expected to be released sometime in 2013.
