Gigantor to be Remade In Hollywood?

 

The Dickies might have covered the Gigantor song (YouTube link to the song), but it’s remake as a Hollywood film is now underway. Bryan Barber director of Idlewild is shopping the project around and is dubbing it a “Transformers meets Goonies.” How’s that for an elevator pitch? The story is about a kid who gains control of a robot and there you have it. A story that’s easily understood. The animation began in 1956 and was repackaged in America in the 60s.
