Grendizer: The UFO, Episode Zero

Remember this guy??? This non profit project began back in 2003 and was scheduled for completion by the end of 2004. I read on their FAQ page that it would take them at least an extra year to complete. This leads me to believe that it must be near completion. I hope so, because this was one of my childhood heroes and I would really enjoy seeing this guy in 3D action. And if the Transformers movie does good at the box office, we are sure to see a wave of giant robot movies come out of Hollywood just like all the other wave of movies in the past... i.e. Disaster Movies, Slasher Movies, medieval Movies, War Movies, Super-Hero Movies, Vampire Movies, etc, etc, etc.... It just wouldn't be Hollywood without waves and waves of copycat movies. But if this one could be done with a sizeable budget, a half decent director and a bunch of unknown actors sort of like when the X-Men first come out('cause so help me GOD if I see Tom Cruise being cast as Actarus (Daisuke) I'll shoot myself) who knows, maybe this could turn out to be a really good movie. The story is great sci-fi with romance, humor, tons upon tons of action and most importantly, a fan based cult following of men in their early 30's who would love for their children to get to know this great Science-Fiction Icon that they grew up with. Done right, it would be a hit I'm sure. Or, at the very least, they could revive this into a new and improved weekly 3D series like what they done with The Transformers: Beast Wars and Beast Machines. Come to think of it, I would prefer an all new completely 3D television series instead of an over budgeted movie filled with Brad Pitts and Halley Berrys and very poor script.
