For speculation's sake, they could easily make the first film deal with the White Base's run from Char and co. and end the film with the Zeon's retreat from Earth. There's plenty of story and action from that chunk alone to make a self-contained debut film without it feeling jam-packed. It can then free up the sequel(s) to deal with the Federation's turning of the tide and bringing the war to space. IMO this would be a good way to allow the first film to give the general audience a taste of what Gundam is by setting it primarily on Earth. They can then afford to go bigger in the sequels by going all Star Wars-like. |

Some people might not know this, but a good number of greatest cinematic trilogies of all time did not start as and did not planned to be trilogies, such as: Back to the Future, The Godfather, The Matrix, The Bourne Identity (2002), Star Wars (1977), etc. They concentrated to make one very good standalone movie first and being fully prepared to not continue afterwards, making the movie experience felt whole. They only worried about the story continuation after the first movie turned out great & successful. I think a Gundam movie could use that kind of approach unless they got good filmmakers with clear & brilliant vision like Nolan did with the Batman Begins and Tarantino did with Kill Bill vol.1 where they knew exactly where to go after the first movies. We need all the focus to be poured into making a good first Hollywood Gundam movie first. Let's free the Hollywood filmmakers from the shackle of UC storyline. Let them make their own story that fits better for a first feature-length movie that's able to excite people and made them clamor for more. Then, after the box office is reached, they can start thinking the long game.

And yeah, I think an original story would work better than trying to adap any of the existing Gundam series. Set it up on a smaller scale, fewer MS and character but leave room enough...hey, wait... ....what if they adapt one of the side stories like Blue Destiny, or focus on a single group like the 08th MS Team or even the White Dingo Team?

^ Well, it's better to ignore UC-elitits' unreasonable demands if you want the franchise to survive and move forward. If Sunrise/Bandai made Gundam to primarily cater to them, the franchise would've been dead after Victory Gundam.

Oh......ummm.....yeah......I did that on purpose. It's none other than the product of my genius mind. I swear I did not just mistype it
Maybe. I'm not sure. UC fans are many but, hopefully, only few of them are elitists (hey, I did not mistype this time )

A live-action Gundam movie. Interesting.
At least this time we have big names backing it up. Story-wise, I really wish they set it somewhere between Unicorn or F91, because that point in time in UC is very unexplored. Or better yet, set it in late UC, somewhere between Victory and G-Savior. OYW and Gryps conflict is already oversaturated.

Live-Action 'Gundam' Movie Teases Its Focus On Female Characters
Quote:
Forget Amuro. Let's make Sayla the protag. and have the story revolve around fighting her evil brother, whom she then redeems by film's end. |
