Live Gatchaman Movie: Set Footage and Interviews

There was a little feature on the upcoming live Gatchaman movie on the Japanese morning show Zip! The clip is about 7 minutes long and it's completely in Japanese, but (for those who don't speak Japanese), it's still interesting to see the actors who have been cast and little snippets from the set. For a little more information, visit Anime News Network. The film is slated for an August 24, 2013 release in Japan.

I think the woman playing Jun is super cute -- what do you think of the cast?

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).
