International Release

Anyone have any idea when the International release is planned?Twobells (talk) 23:04, 29 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Probably not very soon. It's unlikely for it to come to any country and be dubbed, because apparently, they don't have the rights to do that. It might be subtitled and be available on Netflix or something within two to four years.

However, I heard that someone is trying to get the rights to Space Battleship Yamato and make an American version of it. I don't exactly have high hopes for that, though. Stevie011 (talk) 18:56, 15 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You're thinking of the Starblazers movie. It's been 'in development' for over 10 years. There was a script written, but it has been passed on by several studios (Disney was the last owner, I believe.) It bears very little resemblence to the cartoon, and features none of the original characters. There is a company currently in talks with the studio, negotiating an American release, but there's been no official word as of yet. Enelsonian (talk) 23:13, 16 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Disney version fell apart long ago, and that's just as well. Their story outline leaked onto the internet, and it was beyond horrible. Instead of the Yamato, the USS Arizona was used as the Space Battleship. It went downhill from there.Wyldstaar (talk) 01:57, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

'Space Battleship' seen for sale in France two days ago. French language was listed on the back. Cannot find a third-party source, but though folks might want to know. 86.160.164.247 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 18:35, 21 August 2011 (UTC).[reply]

Differences from the series.

First off, the Gamilas are completely different, a hive mind with definitely alien bodies VS blue skinned humanoids. The personal weapons of the crew resemble normal auto-pistols but appear to combine projectiles with variable level energy burst capability. They're also worn on the right hip instead of butt first on the left hip in cross-draw holsters. The uniform jackets continue the dual purpose capability of being part of the space suits and have the same styling and with the addition of four zippered pockets on the front (which are never used, may just be zippers sewn on) and sleeve zippers. There's still no rank insignia but squadron patches are on the upper stripe on the left shoulders. The different colors for various crew departments are spot on to the anime. Instead of white pants with color coordinated cuffs, everyone on the regular crew wears the same pants. Tailored fit for females, shapeless and baggy for males. All a blah brown. The X belt buckles (of which there were at least four randomly appearing designs in the series) are absent. The message capsule lands on Earth instead of Mars. There's no Starsha to deliver the message, it's simply decoded from the capsule. The radiation cleaner (Cosmo Cleaner D in the anime) is a lie cooked up by the government, but turnes out to be real, though not as a machine. Instead of twin planets, Iskandar and Gamilon are two opposing parts of the alien hive mind who have fought over their home planet, making half lush and green, half a barren radioactive wasteland. Kodai's brother is killed instead of later being found on Iskandar after having been taken to Pluto, where Kodai finds his brother's pistol in the TV series. In the movie their last warp before leaving the solar system is at Pluto - which is shown with its moon Charon, though not identified. From there the movie skips everything of the journey to Iskandar (and back) that was in the series, pretty much the entire rest of the movie bears little resemblance to the series except for a few details like the Wave Motion Gun getting plugged, but not unplugged as in the series, and the underground fighter battle on Gamilon - except without the Yamato taking part. And of course in the series the Yamato is not destroyed at the end, as it appears to be in the movie. They also made it back with many more crew members alive in the series. Ohyeah, almost forgot what the movie did to Analyzer! For all but a short scene near the end, Analyzer is a PDA type computer about the size of a Palm Life Drive. Only near the end of the underground battle on Iskandar/Gamilon does he appear in robot form - as a bipedal mecha with two large arm mounted machineguns which he uses to take out large numbers of Gamilas before being overwhelmed and destroyed. Poor guy doesn't even get to flip a skirt, none of the women wear skirts in the movie. ;) The voice is spot on perfect to the TV series. Bizzybody (talk) 11:58, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
