Screenhead

 

I knew them as the G-Force Team. I used to watch them during afternoon cartoon hour way back. Now, their heading to the big screen starting of with the release of their movie poster.

Gatchaman or popularly known by their other name, Scientific Ninja Troop Gatchaman, is scheduled for release in early 2009. It originated in Japan in the early 1970s as the television series Science Ninja Team Gatchaman. Aired in the U.S. as Battle of the Planets and G-Force, it soon became a widely popular syndicated TV series.

Featuring some of the most ambitious action sequences ever seen in animation, Gatchaman is set in a future world grappling with environmental and technological issues. The story focuses on five reluctant heroes whose remarkable genetic code makes them Earth’s only hope of defeating extra-terrestrial invaders. Kevin Munroe (TMNT) is the director, with Lynne Southerland producing.
