According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Walking Dead producer is backing a live-action, feature film adaptation of the classic anime Gaiking. Her production company will be teaming up with Toei Animation and All Nippon Entertainment Work.
Gaiking was a small series that lived and died between 1974 to 1976, consisting of 44 episodes, centered around a baseball star who now pilots a giant robot to protect our planet. Could we be approaching the mecha renaissance?
