FWS News Feed: Trailers for the CG Harlock Movie and After Earth!
The CG Captain Harlock Trailer! In 2010, Toei Animation announced that they would be making a big-budget CG Captain Harlock film, and people like me, who grew up this space pirate wondered if this would be an successful OVA of Harlock and company. With the success of the live-action Space Battleship Yamato, Toei moved forward with the CG Harlock film, and now we finally have a second, longer trailer! Here is the new Second Trailer:
AFTER EARTH
Somehow, I've been amiss about posting about this upcoming MSF film starring Will Smith and his son, which has tones and the look of Tom Cruise's Oblivion. After Earth is about a father and son trapped on Earth after their military spacecraft crashlands on the abandoned world. One thousand years prior to the film, mankind is forced to abandon their homeworld, and resettle on Nova Prime many light-years away. Now, father and son Rangers most survive the horrors of wild Earth and get off the rock back home. The original story was created by Will Smith while watching I Shouldn't Be Alive. From the film's website, there were six colony starships that left Earth for Nova Prime, with only 750,000 colonies, leaving behind billions on the toxic Earth to die. This could be really a great sci-fi film, if the end lives up to the setup.
Oh Lord of Anime, why doth thou tempt me. I 'member waking up early on saturday mornings so I could catch Captain Harlock, Starblazers and Robotech as a kid in the grand old state of Washington.
Harlock is pretty much the most badass pirate in the 'verse. I too, back in the 1970's, used to wake for Starblazers when it aired on Dallas airwaves, this was followed by a Tulsa station airing ROBOTECH when I was in grade school. That was pretty much the greatest thing ever! To this day, ROBOTECH and Star Blazers are fond memories, and if I ever win the lottery, I'm buying the rights to ROBOTECH II: The Sentients!
