Iron Giant
Imagi reveals TETSUJIN 28 Teaser

On top of Astro Boy and Gatchaman already in the works from Imagi Studios, Tetsujin 28 may possibly join the club as another classic Japanese property receiving the CG treatment. Based on a 50’s sci-fi manga series created by Mitsuteru Yokoyama, Tetsujin 28 was widely recognized as the first manga to introduce giant robots. It spawn several anime TV series (the 1963 version was released in America as Gigantor) and a 2005 live action film. Although Imagi has launched a teaser trailer and a website under the title T28, the animated film hasn’t been officially green lit yet. The teaser trailer is actually a CG animation test footage used as a proof of concept for backers and rights holder to decide whether or not to move forward with the project. The visuals doesn’t necessary represent how the film will look if it does go into production but it still looks cool nevertheless.
So, would you like to see Tetsujin 28 get adapted to a CG animated feature film? Submit your answer and comments at the official site after the intro teaser has ended. You’ll also find the teaser after the break.

Looks good. I getting tired of just PIXAR making the good CG movies. TMNT as the groups first movie was very action wise but weak on story. The CG for this looks great. I just hope that if Astro Boy comes out it’ll help the studio to stay around as I would hate to see all that talent go to waste.

Not bad for an early quick pass at the material.
The US version had damn well better be called GIGANTOR, though.

The robots look nifty. Can’t say I’m overly enthused about the look of the kid, though. His more realistic style doesn’t gel with the cartoony robots, to my eyes
