Entertainment news website Deadline reported on Wednesday that comic book author Brian K. Vaughan (Y: The Last Man, Ex Machina, Runaways) will write the script for Sunrise and Legendary Picture’s live-action Hollywood Gundam film.
The “Gundam Franchise’s New Work Unveiling” event in April had listed a tentatively titled Mobile Suit Gundam UC2 (Kidō Senshi Gundam UC2) project that would have an “overseas drama” format.
Vaughan will also serve as an executive producer for the film.
Robert Napton, former Bandai Entertainment Director of Marketing and Legendary Comics’ current Senior Vice President of Publishing, moderated the panel segment about the live-action film project.
