Interesting facts

  • Filmed in: Vancouver

G-Saviour is a 1999 joint US-Japan live-action television film, filmed in Canada and created as part of the Gundam anime franchise, produced by Polestar Entertainment under the supervision of Sunrise and distributed by Bandai Visual.

Production

In October 1995, work began on the G-Saviour multimedia project, beginning with the production of a promotional trailer to pitch the film to Sunrise. This promotional trailer was completed in March 1997.

Production on the film began in June 1998 and was intended, along with the Turn-A Gundam television series, to be the centerpiece of the "Gundam Big Bang Project", which was the 20th anniversary celebration for the popular Gundam metaseries. The G-Saviour film is part of the G-Saviour multimedia project, which encompasses several forms of media, including a radio drama, novel, and video game.

The film's actors are predominantly from Canada, and the Japanese language version has Japanese dubbed into the film. Most of the set locations, such as the Orpheum Theatre and Simon Fraser University Burnaby campus, were located in the Metro Vancouver area in British Columbia, Canada.

G-Saviour is unique among Gundam animated and live-action properties in that the word "Gundam" is not in the title, or used at all throughout the film's run. It was the second attempt at producing a live-action Gundam feature, after the 1997 interactive video game Gundam 0079: The War for Earth.
