You know how John is excited about >Transformers, as can be seen by previous posts, well this is my growing up with TV programme that makes me just as excited, although Transformers works big time for me too.
G-Force is the next project for Jerry Bruckheimer who is producing this live-action and CGI feature for Disney. Hollywood Reporter say:
Bruckheimer will be herding talking animals in “G-Force,” a live-action/CGI family feature film that has landed at Walt Disney Pictures with Bruckheimer attached to produce.
“G-Force” marks the directorial debut of visual effects supervisor Hoyt Yeatman, who has worked on a number of Bruckheimer’s films. Yeatman has been developing the project at his newly formed production venture Whamaphram Prods., which is set to produce both computer-generated and animated film projects integrating animated characters into live-action settings.
Now if I’m right, and there’s just a little part of me saying “hold on Richard, you’ve been wrong before”, this is the big screen version of the cartoon Battle of the Planets, and that gets me very, very excited.
This was a totally awesome cartoon, and all I can clearly remember was the big shock last episode ending (won’t say anything in case they faithfully recreate it – some hope eh?), the waving of the watches in front of the face to transmute into the heroes and the character who always said “Beep, boop doop dee, Spectra”…or something like that. Spectra is the name of the baddies by the way.
I just hope I am right, what else could it be? Okay, a bit of research on IMDB shows that both G-Force and Battle are the same original show, just varying versions for US and UK markets. That excites me, but will the new version include the big show surprises and the extremely quirky and quite adult character traits and events?
