To be fair, that part of the movie is supposed to be when they first bring Joe in...so it may be that they *are* still pretty much strangers to each other...

I, too am hoping for the same kind of family/team interaction in the movie...and a smidgen of romance on the side!

As far as the bar goes...we're not sure it's the snack...but those *do* look like Jun's boots on the table...

I cant help but wonder if this is the very beginning when they are hunting Joe down...maybe this is a place he frequents, and they are all undercover, watching him?

Another thought just occurred to me...Jun could be on stage performing with her guitar?

I guess this Gatch movie might or might not stick with the original plot! So far , that was my opinion on the clip frames.

Guess I have to see the movie for a better impression!

I'm up for the total impression too, on the big screen that is!

As I said before, trailers tend to lead you in a different direction from the actual story as they only highlight a specific shot at random thus encouraging our mind to develop stories on our own! Talking for myself, I often create a different picture in my mind and realise how I was wrong when viewing the actual movie ... many times I'd be relieved and others not! Hope that with the Gatchaman movie we'll get the good impression as I too am a bit misled by these first trailers which do not sum up to the originality of my beloved series! Let's all wait then! On the other hand, if the movie's plot reveals itself as not loyal to the original, we always have the latter stamped in our minds, don't we?!

AS you say maybe they are focusing on different aspects of the movie but the overall will be closer to the Gatch we know.

For example currently they are focusing on Joe at later preview/snippets they may focus on other team members giving a hint of our they came together to become the team we know and love.

Like all of you I am just really looking forward to the movie.

Hi all!

Something else to bear in mind is that the footage we're seeing has a heavy focus on Joe in part because Imagi was dealing with what test footage they'd already created, not material specifically created as a movie trailer. An emphasis on Joe is a result of happenstance, not design. This isn't to say that they won't have a focus on Joe in their film, only that they were working with w3hat they had, not necessarily what they would choose if they had an entire film to pick scenes from.

woohoo -- I can finally get on to Gatchamania!! Hopefully it won't only be for the five minutes I usually get (am so blaming it on the poor wifi thingie on the laptop)...

I'm wondering, TBH, why they keep pimping this movie when they haven't even finished it yet. Every comic con there are trailers, there are whispers, there are sneaky peeks ... but come on already. This is simply getting beyond the joke to me.

Pimp it when it's done, please. How many years are we going to have to go through all of this teaser hype before we actually get to see the final product.

We're all getting excited, concerned, nervous, and I fear that if and when we finally do see it, it will bomb.

I say bomb, because we've had, literally, years of all of this and are starting to picture the movie in our minds -- not all of it being positive -- the final release is going to be anti-climatic. Good or bad, is all of this worth it?

I'm honestly tiring of it -- although I do scamper to these threads on hope to see an actual release date -- and am really just getting to the point of yawning boredly. I don't watch the trailers in anticipation, just in annoyance that I'll probably never see it in its entirety.

The images and snippets I have seen are intriguing, but I am not seeing the Gatchaman I love. I'm seeing something totally -- pardon the pun -- alien. It seems all dark and ... well ... too much. Action is groovy, but I need to be able to see it happen, not fear a seizure or seasickness because everything is moving too fast.

Now that is totally my opinion, eh. I know you're all rocking in excitement ... but I can't get there anymore.

Hell, Hollywood doesn't take this long to come up with something delish. Two separate Transformers movies full of CGI deliciousness have been written, completed, released, and kicked serious box office asses in less time than this one has taken to get even partially done...

I know they want to get it right -- but come on already...

BTW -- thanks for sharing the screen caps and whatnot. Everything moved so quick in the trailers that I missed all of these neat snapshots completely.

Don't mean to offend anyone with this post, but that's just how I feel about the movie at this point.

Back to lurking, unless this sudden reconnection on the laptop will last...
