Taekwon V

Posted by: Nuke in Animation, Anime, Media


Apparently there’s a Korean live action film in the works based on the Taekwon V movie.

Taekwon is your basic mad scientist creates army of evil robots for world domination, good scientist counters with a powerful single robot plot.

(L-R) Taekwon V, Mazinger Z, Great Mazinger and Grendizer

At the time of Taekwon V’s creation, the Japanese manga and animated series, Mazinger Z, was very popular in Korea. And you can clearly see the influence in Taekwon’s design.

The upcoming movie purportedly has a budget of 20-billion Won ($17M Cdn) and is slated for release in 2009.
