Gundam Creator Tomino to Work on New Animated Project w/ Hollywood's Legacy Effects
Gundam creator Yoshiyuki Tomino discussed in a press conference the first projects in his collaboration with Hollywood's Legacy Effects via his company, Ookaze no Okorusama. He revealed that he is personally directing a new unnamed animated project, with many notable creators in the staff.
In addition to that, he revealed that the two companies are planning to adapt an unnamed children's literary work from publisher Iwanami Shoten into a live-action film. To make sure that the upcoming adaptation is faithful to the original source material, the concept work on the project will be developed in both Japan and the United States. The American side will handle the script and actual visuals.
Tomino noted, "My career thus far has basically been working in television anime. I considered remaking a past work for the first project [in the business tie-up]. However, since we have not cleared all the rights, I won't be able to tell you. If I could talk about it here, I think you can imagine what kind of work will be made."
He added that Tokyo-based animation production will be tough in the future, but he wanted to build a new production site. He is planning not only projects based on his earlier works, but he muses that he could still make one or two entirely new works "by the time I'm 87."
