David Ellison in charge of Skydance productions has announced his intentions to buy the rights for legendary 70's sci-fi Anime Space Battleship Yamato also known as Star Blazers in the U.S. with the intentions of turning it into a live action movie.
Sorry to say this Dave but your a little late a Japanese live action version has already been done and when started showing in Japanese cinema's last December, where it went straight to no.1 at the box office.
Will Ellison succeed in buying the rights and producing a Hollywood version?
In all honesty I wouldn't hold my breath, we are more likely to see an English dubbed/subtitled version of the Japanese movie released straight to DVD & Blueray. Which if the trailer is anything to go by may be no bad thing!
