Netflix has released the first image for the live-action Gundam movie from Legendary Pictures, which uses 1979’s Mobile Suit Gundam as the jumping on point. The intense first image depicts an RX-78-2, eyes glowing, surrounded by flames. Based on this first look, the Gundam match the design Kunio Okawara did for the 1979 anime.

The original show was a coming of age story set during a war starring Amuro Ray, a teenager who becomes a Gundam pilot. Since then, it has had several sequels, standalones, and spinoffs.

Kong: Skull Island director Jordan Vogt-Roberts will helm the Gundam project and Brian K. Vaughan (Y: The Last Man) is writing the adaptation. Little else is known about the movie, except that it is meant to be an entry point for new viewers.

“My goal is for all the people who might say, ‘I don’t know where to start [with Gundam], I want to create this film and give them an access point where you can say, ‘This is where you start. This is your entry point,” Vogt-Roberts said. “Where Gundam fans say, ‘Yeah, this is my Gundam.’”
