It's the same producer who was developing a live-action STAR BLAZERS movie in the 1990s at Disney, which changed the space battleship from the Yamato to the... Arizona. The screenplay was online for some time (it may still be), and stunk to high-heaven, having very little resemblance to the original, except for the basic premise (and was more like J. Michael Straczynski's CRUSADE than it was STAR BLAZERS).
Thanks for the heads up August. Now I like the idea even less.  We have the new movie, an Americanized version seems to me to be unnecessary.  Added to this is the fact that the producers want to set the story on the USS Aizona is controversial to say the least.
