The original Mobile Suit Gundam created by Yoshiyuki Tomino took place in a fictional universe in which the Earth Federation united not only the world's continents, but space colonies and lunar settlements as well. One nation, the Principality of Zeon, declared independence from the Federation and launched an all-out war. Their superior military technology, in the form of giant humanoid mobile suits, allowed them to sway the fight in their favor, until the Federation responded with a creation of their own. Series protagonist Amuro Ray, a citizen who stumbles upon the Federation's mobile suit, the RX-78 Gundam, manages to pilot the MS and defend the Federation base and its inhabitants from the Zeon separatists.
Originally called Gunboy, Mobile Suit Gundam was actually not all that popular when it came out of the gates. It wasn't until the Japanese toy company Bandai picked up the rights to Gundam's mechas that the show really took off. Since its initial series, Gundam has grown into a major franchise that has spawned numerous series spin-offs, animated movies and video games, along with toys, models, comics, mangas and novels. Believe it or not, there actually was a live-action adaptation attempted back in 2000, with director Graeme Campbell'sG-Saviour. The Canadian/Japanese production was reportedly not well-received by creator Tomino, who was not involved with the film. So when I say this property should be adapted, let me stress that it should be adapted well.

One of the coolest things about Gundam is that the series has always incorporated existing or theoretically possible science into its writing, including Lagrange points, O'Neill colonies and nuclear thermal rockets. It's also credited with being the first story to move from the "super robots" genre to the "real robots" genre, because it portrayed the mecha as military vehicles and weapons of war, rather than autonomous robotic beings or indestructible machines of limitless power. The mobile suits were piloted into battle, but they were also repaired in hangars, overhauled by mechanics and upgraded by their pilots. This aspect not only let viewers become more attached to the pilots and their mecha (especially when either/both were injured in combat), but it lent a sense of reality and possibility to the series. The fact that a 1:1 scale model of the RX-78 Gundam was actually built (as a non-functional statute, unfortunately) is a clear testament to the level of cultural significance that Gundam has achieved.
Although Gundam has seen its fair share of animated movies (with more on the way), few technical hurdles exist to keep the mobile suits from appearing in a live-action film. The Transformers franchise has been wildly successful at bringing larger-than-life fighting robots to the screen, but lacks the depth of plot or character development that many fans crave. Shawn Levy's Real Steel brought a bit more of a human element into the mix, featuring the original robot boxing creations controlled by their flesh-and-blood partners. Perhaps the most exciting development for mecha fans is Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim which will put pilots in control of massive battle suits called Jaegers in order to defend the world from the monstrous creatures known as Kaiju. But while Pacific Rim sounds like a fun film, I don't yet have a great sense of the characters who are piloting these behemoths.
The Gundam franchise seems to have a lot in common with Transformers, Voltron, Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, Robotech, etc, but I've always found the political conflicts and personal character struggles to be a fascinating backdrop against which these mobile suit battles play out. Take Mobile Suit Gundam Wing for instance. Rather than focus on a heroic defender of the Federation in a lone Gundam against rogue separatists, Gundam Wing featured five pilots (all with great names: Heero Yuy, Duo Maxwell, Trowa Barton, Quatre Raberba Winner and Chang Wufei) who each had their own customized Gundam mobile suit and were unaware of each other initially. Their missions were to seek and destroy the legions of mobile suits under the command of the tyrannical Alliance and thereby free the colonies from oppression.
This conflict sets up an incredibly complex weaving of plots, backstories and character motivations, along with real-world political maneuvering, betrayals, shifting allegiances and aspects of guerilla/terrorist warfare seen from both sides of the equation. And since the series happens to focus on the young pilots, it also has "coming of age" elements at the core of each character, who matures with each and every decision he makes, both in and out of the cockpit of his mobile suit. Gundam explores the stark realities of war, oppression and tyranny in a very serious way. It just happens to do it with giant fighting robots as weapons of war, in the place of more conventional tanks, jet fighters or battleships.
A well-planned adaptation of Gundam for a live-action TV series or feature film would be a welcome addition in my book. A television series, much like Battlestar Galactica, would allow the characters room to breathe, grow and establish themselves while providing great episodic action with mobile suit battles and intrigue via political maneuverings. I'd also love to see Gundam as either stand-alone or companion films to the TV series, which would allow the budget for some spectacular battles and the exploration of the various colonies.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with the look and tone of the series, here's a fight clip from Mobile Suit Gundam Wing which shows the mobile suits, the way they fight and the philosophical debate that rages between the combatants:
The study also showed that 31 percent of survey respondents said they saw a trailer on their mobile phone in the past six months, and when asked whether they viewed ads before trailers, 83 percent said they had with 61 percent watching the ad to the end in order to get to the trailer. Sixty-seven percent of men are more likely to view a pre-trailer ad versus 58 percent of women, according to the study.

The Hollywood Pantages has a history as grand and diverse as the stage and screen fare which audiences have flocked to enjoy there for half a century. These days it's one of Los Angeles' leading homes of legitimate theatre (the five highest-grossing weeks in L.A.'s theatrical history were all shows at the Pantages) and a favorite "location" for tv shows, movies and music videos. In the past, it has been a movie house, with live vaudeville acts between features as well as the site of many gala premieres and "spectaculars." For ten years the Hollywood Pantages Theatre was the home of the glittering Academy Awards Presentations.
Brett Jutkiewicz led the filmmaking crew as The Black Phone's director of photography. Jutkiewicz had just finished a cinematography job for Scream (2022) when he received the script from his agent. Derrickson approached him in mid-December 2020 to discuss ideas raised from Jutkiewicz's reading of The Black Phone script. They also bonded from discussing Jutkiewicz's work in the satirical horror film Ready or Not (2019), which had impressed Derrickson. After an interviewing period, the producers formally contracted Jutkiewicz that January.[29] Derrickson's instruction was to implement a look evoking the 1970s period in which the film is set. The production used source material, such as New York-set 1970s movies, not so much to glean textural ideas as to establish the appropriate tone for the setting and storytelling.[29] This, according to Jutkiewicz, meant experimenting with color grading techniques to produce a high contrast, muted, but not desaturated, visual palette.[29] To achieve this image quality, and to reduce the picture's range of hues, filmmakers mixed colors using specialized lookup tables (LUT).[29] The choice of LUTs was contingent on the brightness of sets; for example, Jutkiewicz employed a darker LUT to preserve the image palette of dimly-lit basement scenes.[29]
Katzenberg flew to Silicon Valley and, over dinner at Nobu in Palo Alto, pitched his idea for bringing high-caliber entertainment to mobile phones. For Whitman, the idea checked all her boxes: The potential market for the service was huge, prevailing trends were right, and it occupied a unique niche.
Two years after that dinner, Quibi (an awkward portmanteau of quick and bites) is poised to launch its mobile streaming service offering original movies, reality TV, comedies and news edited into bite-size nuggets of ten minutes or less, optimized for viewing on phones.
The service debuts on April 6, 2020, with 50 original shows, including movies offered in cliff-hanger chapters such as the thriller Survive, starring Sophie Turner (Game of Thrones) and Corey Hawkins (BlacKkKlansman); 120 reality shows and documentaries; plus news, weather and sports. In all, Quibi promises to deliver 8,500 quick bites from 175 shows in its first year.
Pour one out for Kim Kardashian: Hollywood, the ground-breaking mobile game that proved building games for women is serious business. As of today, the game is no longer available in app stores and will no longer offer in-app purchases. A post on the game's official message boards said current players would be able to use the app and its in-game currency until April 8, 2024.
In 2019, Polygon's Petrana Radulovic named it one of the top 100 games of the decade, noting that it was "unapologetically tailored toward young women" and "was perhaps the biggest indication that a mobile game for girls could be successful." 0852c4b9a8
