Check out the awesome footage in this Japanese trailer for the live action version of Space Battleship Yamato (aka Star Blazers).
Set in 2220, the pic will depict the evacuation of 300 million people from Earth to avoid certain death from an expanding black hole. The Yamato, a space battleship, is leading the rescue fleet when it is attacked by an alien force.
Takashi Yamazaki directs it. Takuya Kimura, the member of the SMAP entertainment unit known to Japanese fans as “KimuTaku,” will star as the main hero Susumu Kodai in the remake of the space opera classic. Kimura also starred as the title character in the Howl’s Moving Castle animated film released in 2004.
It looks crazy immense and I want to see it now. It is due out in Japan in December 2010, but not sure about the rest of the World.
