Movie "The Men of Yamato"

[dannavy85]

This is part of the full size movie set in Kure for the up coming movie "Men of Yamato" which portrays the suicide mission of the largest battleship in the world north of Okinawa in 1945. The movie is awesome but the full scale set itself is mind boggling, this ship truely was a monster of a warship judging by the set itself. Incredable that the Japanese constructed such an exacting replica like this.

Maybe they will make a live-action Starblazers after they finish this film.

Got a secret to tell you....20th Century Fox is already working it. Don't worry, Disney's attempted
plot has been foiled so they can't screw it away like they planned. They wanted to call the ship
USS Arizona and use a different design. It bombed in planning thank God.

I guess they were worried about sensitivity with World War II vets, making the Yamato a hero ship.
Right, I guess using the Arizona name would have endeared the Japanese too?
