Netflix to make a live-action Gundam movie

Legendary Entertainment is working on Sunrise’s Gundam for a live-action adaptation on Netflix, which will be directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts.

As reported by The Verge, Legendary was first announced to be working with Sunrise on the live-action Gundam film in 2018.

Today, April 13, a tweet from Netflix updates the public that Jordan Vogt-Roberts will direct and produce Legendary’s first-ever live-action that will feature the film version of Sunrise’s Gundam for Netflix. Vogt-Roberts has also previously directed 2017’s Kong: Skull Island for Legendary, making over USD 566 million at the worldwide box office.

Besides, Brian K. Vaughan is working as well on this project as a writer and executive producer, with Cale Boyter overseeing on behalf of Legendary with the Sunrise creative team.

The massively popular Mecha anime and science fiction media franchise is Sunrise’s multi-billion-dollar property created in 1979 and has produced a multi-platform universe encompassing televised anime, manga, animated films, video games, plastic models, toys, and novels, among other media. Gundam remains to dominate Bandai Namco’s earnings almost 40 years after its origin.

There’s no other news yet from Netflix about the actual plot for the live-action; however, the original Gundam series is set in an era in which humanity had to emigrate to space colonies due to its rapid population growth. Eventually, these space colonies sought out their independence, waging war on those on Earth. Because of this war, both the protagonist and antagonist grow and display maturity in the series—whether in or out of their mech battle suits.

Netflix Is Taking Action Against Proxy And “Unblockers”

Netflix knows that some of its subscribers are using proxy services or any other similar way of changing your location virtually and they are taking action.

When Netflix was launched worldwide, including the Philippines, everyone has started to become joyful expecting that they can now finally access the streaming service without the hassle. But it turns out, only 93% of the total US content is not available in PH due geographic restriction. And so, subscribers, new and old, still prefer to use proxies in order to get more from what they are provided.

The streaming service has announced that it is finally ready to take down on these “unblockers.” Netflix will be able to detect different extensions and proxies being used to fool their system. Expect the action to take effect in a couple of weeks.

Despite this, Netflix hopes to get rid of the issue when it comes to international content licensing. Perhaps the studios can be more considerate for the viewers, so they can enjoy various content without the need to resort to illegal downloads.
