David Guivant, of New Caledonia South Pacific Island, takes his love of sci-fi into his talent for digital animation and visual effects. His fan-made trailer for Invincible Iron Man TV Show three years ago garnered over 440,000 views and now he’s translating his fandom of classic animes and mangas in pursuit of his new project, Captain Future (Live Action Anime).
Based on the sci-fi pulp hero of the 1940s and 50s and subsequent Japanese anime of the 1970’s, Captain Future will follow “Curtis Newton, a brilliant scientist and adventurer who roams the solar system solving problems, righting wrongs, and vanquishing futuristic supervillains.” Guivant’s version is set five years after the course of events in the novels and animes.

German director Christian Alvart ("Case 39," "Pandorum") will adapt Edmond Hamilton's 1940's pulp sci-fi magazine serial and later 1970's anime series "Captain Future" into a feature film reports Quiet Earth.
Alvart says he's developing the film as a "big fun space opera for the whole family". The character of Captain Future, aka. Curtis Newton, is a brilliant scientist/adventurer who roams our solar system to help people and take down various villains.
The storyline will essentially be an origin story, following Newton's first adventure. Though Alvart doesn't specify, it will probably deal with the murder of Newton's parents at the hands of criminal scientist Victor Kaslan and his subsequent upbringing under the tutelage of scientist Simon Wright, an intelligent robot and a shapeshifting android.
Alvart says a sequel storyline is being developed concurrently so should the film be a success, they can get started on a follow-up right away.

I'm not sure how many people actually saw Pandorum last year, the sci-fi horror starring Dennis Quaid and Ben Foster, but I actually thought it was pretty good. I think director Christian Alvart has a great style, so although the story wasn't great, it was a visually stunning film. Quiet Earth recently learned that Alvart has obtained the rights and is currently working on a script for another sci-fi project - an adaptation of the pulp magazine Captain Future. Created in 1939 by Edmond Hamilton, Captain Future is an adventurer and scientist who roams the solar system solving problems, righting wrongs, and vanquishing futuristic villains. Alvart confirmed this news with Quiet Earth and explained that he wants it to be a "big fun space opera for the whole family." Apparently he was a "huge Captain Future fan growing up" in Germany and sounds pretty excited about bringing this to the big...

Director Christian Alvart ("Pandorum") continues to develop an adaptation of the pulp magazine character "Captain Future" for a big screen feature.
The first "Captain Future" stories, created by Better Publications Editor Mort Weisinger in 1939, were authored by science fiction writer Edmond Hamilton for Ned Pines' Thrilling/Standard/Better Publications magazines, from 1940 to 1951, with later stories appearing in 'Startling Stories' magazine.
Set in 1990, 'Captain Future' is 'Curtis Newton', a scientist/adventurer who roams the solar system vanquishing supervillains.
The series begins when scientist 'Roger Newton', his wife 'Elaine' and scientist 'Simon Wright' leave planet Earth for research in an isolated laboratory on the moon. As the elderly Simon's healthy brain is transplanted into an artificial floating case, the two scientists create the robot 'Grag' and an android, with shape-shifting abilities called 'Otho'.
But criminal scientist 'Victor Kaslan' arrives on the moon and kills the Newtons, leaving their only son...

Pandorum turned out to be one of my favorite flicks from last year, so I'm more than thrilled to hear director Christian Alvart is heading back into space again. Even if this trip won't be quite a scary or grimy. Alvart is bringing pulp character Captain Future to life for a big-screen adventure. Popularized by science fiction writer Edmond Hamilton in the 1940s (and later as an anime series), the stories followed the exploits of brilliant scientist Curtis Newton as he roamed the solar...

I’m not really sure who Captain Future is really. He’s apparently a big whig with the kids over in the U.K. and Europe, or was anyway. I am however a big fan of Christian Alvart after his criminally under appreciated sci-fi horror “Pandorum”, which was a boat load of snappy sci-fi in my humble opinion. Fresh off the semi critical if not financial success of “Pandorum”, Christian has been funded to develop “Captain Future” and bring it to us worldwide in a family friendly, happy sci-fi way. Thanks to Quiet Earth for the scoop. Christian on the Captain: I was a huge Captain Future fan growing up. In elementary school I spent my whole allowance on the toys and the sticker collection which were quite a big deal in Germany. There was the popular Anime show in the 80’s of course, but I also read all the...

It looks like pulp scifi is indeed back in a big way. We just found out that director Christian Alvart (Pandorum, Case 39) has been awarded script subsidy by Germany's Ffa to adapt Edmond Hamilton's pulp scifi novel "Captain Future" into a massive screen adventure.
We caught up with Alvart to get the full scoop on the project. Here's what he had to tell us:
Christian Alvart:
"I was a huge Captain Future fan growing up. In elementary school I spent my whole allowance on the toys and the sticker collection which were quite a big deal in Germany. There was the popular Anime show in the 80's of course, but I also read all the original novels by Science Fiction pioneer Edmond Hamilton and loved them.
