I know some links are discouraged, but I'm pretty sure a link to a news article is okay. My apologies if I'm wrong:

To summarize, a well established screenwriter with impressive credentials is writing a new version of.... Gatchaman.
(AAARGHH! That theme song just started playing in my head!)
For those unfamiliar with the title, you might recognize "Battle of the Planets" and/or "G-Force", the two names it was mangled/marketted as in the US and UK markets.
Nan datte?
