Being Netflix I'm cautious how it turns out, I hope the original people who work on the series have a hand on it

I think they said it's not 0079's story right? like it's not following the original White Base or anything and these are not Amuro and Char, right?

If Netflix do something like this, we clearly changed times - and for the bestWish they would just copy one thing from Mobile G Fighter. Sydney pulling this off would be 10/10 for me.
But for real, not sure if this cast works

I see nothing wrong with the casting but I have no idea how they're adapting the story to live action

So is this going to be a new timeline or is it going to be a Live Action version of an existing one (UC)?

Article: All units, stand by: Production on the live-action Gundam film has officially mobilized in Queensland, Australia.
Directed by Jim Mickle (Sweet Tooth, Cold in July), the highly anticipated adaptation of the influential multimedia franchise will star Sydney Sweeney and Noah Centineo in a brand-new story set in the midst of a lengthy space war. Of course, there will be giant robots (aka mechs) involved — as well as a cast that includes actors from The White Lotus, Deadpool & Wolverine, Dune: Part Three, and many more.
Read to find out what the movie is about, who else is in the cast, and more.
What is the live-action Gundam movie about?
The forthcoming live-action adventure movie will bring the defining mech franchise to life with an original story that follows rival mech pilots fighting on opposite sides of decades-long war between Earth and its space former colonies. "As shifting allegiances and a growing threat set them on a collision course for one another," reads an early description of the film, "they're pulled into a high-stakes race across the stars that could define the fate of humanity. With awe-inspiring battles, intimate human emotion, and an epic cinematic scale, this is Gundam like it's been seen before."
Who is in the cast of the live-action Gundam movie?
The cast includes:
Sydney Sweeney (The Housemaid, Euphoria)
Noah Centineo (Street Fighter, Warfare)
Jackson White (Tell Me Lies)
Shioli Kutsuna (Deadpool & Wolverine)
Nonso Anozie (Sweet Tooth)
Michael Mando (Better Call Saul)
Javon "Wanna" Walton (Under the Bridge)
Oleksandr Rudynskyi (The Agency)
Ida Brooke (Dune: Part Three)
Gemma Chua-Tran (Heartbreak High)
Jason Isaacs (The White Lotus).
Who is behind the live-action Gundam movie?
Gundam, which will be released by Netflix, is produced by Legendary Pictures in partnership with Bandi Namco Filmworks. Mickle will produce with his partner Linda Moran through their company Nightshade, alongside Cale Boyter, Ali Mendes, Sweeney, Centineo, and Enzo Marc. Executive producers are Matthew Jenkins, Makoto Asanuma, and Naohiro Ogata.

Male and female leads on opposite sides? Wonder if it's gonna take some cues from 08th MS Team.
