At CinemaCon, Sony Pictures unveiled Grandgear, a film about giant robots battling in a city, and announced it will hit theaters in 2028. A short teaser was shown, revealing the action. The project, a collaboration between J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot and director Yamazaki, was highly sought after before Sony acquired it in late 2024. The footage featured a classic Gundam-style robot fighting a more uniquely designed opponent. Yamazaki is writing, directing, and producing Grandgear, giving him significant creative control – a result of the success and impact of his film Godzilla Minus One. This full creative freedom is fantastic for the project, and Yamazaki is perfectly suited to bring giant robot battles to life.
