If this actually happens, I will be very very happy! This was one of my favorite cartoons growing up and I think it will adapt to the big screen very nicely.

Benderspink and producer Josh C. Kline are teaming to adapt the classic Japanese anime "Star Blazers" into a live-action feature says The Hollywood Reporter.

Known for its epic imagery and themes of brave sacrifice and respect for heroes lost in the line of duty, "Star Blazers" is the U.S. name for 1970s Japanese anime TV series "Space Battleship Yamato." It comprised three television series, five animated features and a host of merchandise. A live-action adaptation was set up at Walt Disney Studios in the 1990s.

The story is set in the 22nd century after an alien attack on Earth has forced survivors to live in underground cities. After a message arrives from a distant planet promising a cure for the proliferating surface radiation, Earth's last vestige of hope rests on the crew of a powerful yet untested spaceship, which must reach the purported new ally and return home before mankind ceases to exist.

I liked the show when I was growing up but definitely preferred Robotech/Macross over it.

Still, it will be interesting to see a giant battleship cruising through space, live-action style.

This movie has been in the talking stages for a decade. At one point they had talked about substituting the Arizona for the yamato. Either way, I have yet to hear about any version of the film getting the green light.

I too was a StarBlazers Fan growing up...this sounds great.

Hope this isn't off topic but...
Has anyone here ever built any of the StarBlazers Models?
I alway's wanted a large model of that Comet Empire Ship that looked like a Horseshoe-Crab but never could find it...anybody have any leads?
Here's the one I mean:

Thanks Steevy...I have seen that one...I'm guessing they just don't make a larger version...means I'm going to have to get off my ass and finish the garage kit of it that I started some years ago!
