Captain Future (From Anime to Cine Manga)

Hi, everyone,

If you're unfamiliar with my work, I have been directing and producing the project called THE INVINCIBLE IRON MAN TV SHOW which is featured on the internet.

As a fan of classic Animes and Mangas I am now working on a new project called : CAPTAIN FUTURE, inspired by the SCI-FI Classic created by Edmond Hamilton and the Japanese Anime from the 70's.

The main character is Curtis Newton, a brilliant scientist and adventurer who roams the solar system solving problems, righting wrongs, and vanquishing futuristic supervillains.




The hero himself had many incarnations and different features, depending on various artist's impressions, the story takes places 5 years after the events described in the Novels and the Anime. Here's 20 seconds of visual effects footage from the project that will come out late December 2010:

In 1978, Toei produced an anime adaptation of Edmond Hamilton's pulp sci-fi from the 1940s, Captain Future. In turn, the anime was edited and brought to an international market by Harmony Gold, of Robotech, and while the show did not make a sizable impression on America, it was a huge hit overseas.

The project is all produced in 2D, following director Kazuaki Kirya's footsteps (Casshern, Goemon) where cartoon and live action collide. (No 3D has been involved).
