This film looks incredibly awesome!! Here's some test fx videos from the film:

It's based off of an old Korean anime movie that inspired several sequels and was recently restored for a new theatrical release:

The film is scheduled for release next summer in Korea to go head-to-head with 'Transformers:2'. It was definitely inspired by 'Mazinger Z':

I think it looks great though and should make for an awesome film. I like that the giant robot will be using taekwondo moves to fight it's foes. 8-)

Looks promising.

Seeing stuff like this makes me fantasize about some Live-action Go Nagai super robots of course. Some day soon I'm sure .............

That's pretty sweet RaptorG! The Italians are pulling off some really nice anime=>live action conversions lately. There's a short out there too.
