Live Action Gatchaman Movie & Gatch I Blu-Rays

Click the image for a bigger version.
Two interesting pieces of news:

First, Gatchaman I is being released on October 19th, 2012 in a Blu-Ray box set in Japan for retail ¥81,900 (Amazon has it for around ¥60,055). There is also a special edition Blu-Ray box set with a World Tatsunoko Memorial Visual Book (limited release).

Second...yet another possible Gatchaman movie? This live-action version is slated for release in the summer of 2013, and according to crunchyroll, filming started yesterday (October 15th, 2012). The official website is http://gatchaman-movie.jp/, though there's nothing there right now other than a graphic and links to a Twitter page (the updates are in Japanese, but you can use a tool like Google Translate -- which appears automatically if you're using Google Chrome -- to read them).
