Star Blazers Movie

Star Blazers MovieThere's a movie adaptation of Star Blazers ahead of us. David Ellison, Christopher McQuarrie and Josh C. Kline intend indeed to produce a movie based on the popular 1979 science-fiction animated TV series. And Christopher McQuarrie (who wrote the script of Valkyrie) will pen the screenplay.

Plot:
"The Star Blazers movie is a space opera, involving alien invasions, the near extinction of the human race, and a last dash journey through space to save the planet."

A Japanese movie adaptation of Space Battleship Yamato has recently been released in Japan. It does look good, but well I could but welcome Hollywood's take on the story. Here's the movie trailer of the Japanese Star Blazers movie:
