Gundam MoviesThe Chicago International Film Festival has announced
that Yoshiyuki Tomino will be present at the festival for the North
American premiere of the Mobile Suit Z Gundam theatrical trilogy.
All three movies will premiere on October 7, 2006, starting with
Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam: A New Translation at noon. The movies will
cost $8 each for JASC members and $11 for non members.
The day prior to the screenings, Tomino will be signing copies of the
Gundam novels and the DVD release of Char's Counterattack at the
Borders Books store at 150 North State Street.
Also on October 6, there will also be a panel entitled "Giant Robots
and Salarimen: Anime's Social and Economic Impact" featuring Tomino,
Hiroaki Inoue and Masaki Kaifu, among other panelists.
Finally, a $150 ($125 for JASC members), fans will have the
opportunity to dine with Tomino for a prime-rib dinner at Lawry's The
Prime Rib Restaurant.
I wish I lived near Chicago so I could go. Are you going, Jason? If
so, I expect an AWESOME and detailed report! I wonder how many people
is the max that can have the dinner? I would think not totally a lot.
