Gurren Lagann: Guren-hen MOVIE!

[Haohmaru]

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann movie feature is slated to be announced in Newtype on March 10. Details unknown so far.

Via Moon Phase and Kadokawa’s exhibitor entry at the Tokyo International Anime Fair website: according to the April edition of Newtype magazine (on sale March 10th), a theatrical version of the Gurren Lagann TV anime is currently in the planning stages of production. No details of the project are currently known, but Moon Phase speculates that it might be similar to the Top wo Nerae! theatrical release in that it would combine new animated sequences with brushed up material from the TV series to present a condensed version of the story. We’ll keep an eye on this as further information comes to light. (no more)

New information for Gurren-Lagann's movie from Megami Magazine:

-The storyline will be completely different, with only theme similarities.
-The characters will remain with their core mostly untouched but some of them will play much smaller roles. They're focusing on the lead characters for development.
-Gainax apologizes to Megami because the movie will focus a whole lot more on the male characters. Nia will have the only prominent female role in the film, she will be the main heroine. Yoko and the three sisters will be more on the line of secondary characters.
-Imaishi wants to give it a different mood/direction style more fitting of a film while still conveying the same excitement
-All new soundtrack/animation

A better trans:

-It will be a reconstruction of the TV series with a lot of new cuts.

-There's going to be more than one movie, but it will NOT be split up like Part 1: Simon as a boy and Part 2: Simon as a man. They won't make it like a straight summary either. "If we're going to tell a story, it will be told in battle. While throwing in new cuts, we plan on making it a work that has the surging hotness that you felt watching the TV version at the forefront."

-Because the dialogue won't match up if they're doing a reconstruction, all of the dialogue will be newly recorded.

-They would like to create more new works after the movie. They have many stories from the seven years after Lord Genome was defeated. If the movie is a hit, the possibility of them making more will become higher.

-The movie will have music as its theme? (People on 2ch are speculating it might be like a professional MAD.)

-They're creating several new animated works, a little of which will be shown at the Anime Fair. The staff will differ for each one. Each one will be short, but have the staff's hot feelings packed in. They're still unsure when they'll be able to get these to the fans.

-It seems implied that Nia is the main heroine of the movie, because when asked about the female characters, he replies that it's sad that Yoko and the three sisters might end up in the background.

So what do you guys think. Gurren Lagann in even better quality. DO WANT!

[yourfinallyfree]

that is by far the best news i have heard all day...does anyone have anymore info on it? i cant seem to find anthing on the web.

[ZrKen]

Sounds promising, I just hope it lives up to how epic the series was.

[reKoil]

;__; Yes!

Who The Hell Do You Think We Are!? ;__;

[AnimeFan3oo3]

'Twas awesome until I read that it would be a recap of the series.

DO NOT WANT. New material please.

[Haohmaru]

^It's still only speculation, but yeah that's what I thought as well. Movie quality animation on a new cool story would be too awesome.

[Kigga]

^^ Ditto that, its just like the lsat 2 One Piece movies

It would be better to do a new threat thing and Darry and Gimmy's generation take it on with GL

[eddieson]

The news had me excited till I heard that it might just be a recap of the entire series. I hope that they decide to scrap that idea, and make a new story or something.

A movie about the former Spiral Knights would be awesome too.

[reKoil]

Co-signed on that^

[Haohmaru]

^I would rather see that. Darry and Gimmy aren't cool enough to replace Simon, Kamina and Yoko.

[Kigga]

They can have Simon come back in the original GL

[Khari]

guys..we're talking about gainax here..They're remaking Evangelion in four movies I'd think they'd do the same with GL

Yeah, that's what I meant.

[PsychicShadow]

Watever.

More Gurren Lagann = awesome

GL can't be bad. It can't. Its just way too epic.

[Seta]

wasn't Kamina's father a spiral knight?

If they don't do the retelling then i hope that whatever they're doing involves Kamina's dad.

Actually, I think that i want them to make a movie about the "other universe"

[Kigga]

^^ Never mentioned that before

[Magnum]

Can't wait for the movie,the anime was awesome.

I think kamina's dad also used to pilot Ganmen,as the Helix king said that there was also a human who tried the same as what Simon was doing(during the fight between Simon and Helix king),I think it might have been Kamina's father.

This better be a prequel or take place in the current timeline where Simon is around 40 years old.
