History of the Guyver movies. LIcense was paid for and acquired by Brian Yuzna of new line Cinema. Special effects guy Joji Tani (Screaming Mad George) was brought in to direct along with Steve Wang. Both would work on the special effects. Brian Yuzna movies were camp and wanted this one kid friendly, Wang wanted a serious adult version like Kamen Rider movies. Wang lost out to the the producer and lost control to the co-director Tani. The movie bombed due to this and a decent budget squandered (12 million if I recall). Apparently most of the cast and crew had fun making this terrible trepidation since Wang remembers them all fondly. Terrible acting despite half the cast being more than capable. Steve later goes at it solo as both Director and Producer, using a meager budget of $900,000.00 and managed to create a much better received version. More coherent, better action, and a return to the series roots. David Hayter was brought in to star. Acting was more or less better but only because of the tone. 2001 Wang attempted to create a third movie. The rights were lost and he switched to other productions (Don't count him in that awful Power Rangers Movie) until he made his own original works which eventually made him more famous. David Hayter later hit him up for making a third movie only to learn of the situation that Wang was in. So what did we learn? Let Wang Direct and do the action sequences, but bring in an acting coach. Give it a decent budget. You are guaranteed large returns if you willingly give this guy 5 mil at least, and 15 mil is what he deserves. Bring Back Hayter, even if not the star, he can play another character like Murikami. Since this is an alternate telling, he could pass the torch to a new Guyver lead, so you could also have a Older Hayter Guyver become mentor to a younger Guyver closer to what Sho is. Let the costumes remain, but CGI using sparingly or in small doses would lend to the realism. Great stunt team and choreography, bring those guys back, but cut the wires. Better budget means you can do more. More true to the comic. Maybe Wang can do a reboot!
