Gatchaman Gets Director Date: 1/10/2007 |
IGN reports Kevin Munroe, director of the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated feature, has said that he is working on a big-screen adaptation of the anime series Gatchaman next. "We're in the middle of the script right now, and we're doing pre-production -- some early [story] boards," Munroe said. Producer Tom Gray added that the forthcoming film will be more adult than TMNT: "It's going to be PG-13, in CGI. This is the one where we're going to let him do what he wanted to do on Turtles, Gatchaman, because I think it lends itself more to that than the Turtles. [But] we haven't made a deal yet." Kevin Munroe said that he plans to apply the lessons learned on TMNT to Gatchaman. Gray also said that Gatchaman will directly reflect the influences that inspired the animators who worked on TMNT. |
