It ends up Toho in Japan have made an estimated 2 billion yen (about $20 million USD) movie based on the 70’s cartoon. While the original cartoon featured a story about saving Earth from radioactive pollution from an Alien invader, according to QuietEarth, the movie will depict the evacuation of 300 million people from Earth to avoid certain death from an expanding black hole. The Yamato is leading the rescue fleet when it is attacked by an alien force. The film is set in 2220 and it’s directed by Takashi Yamazaki.

I loved that show as a toddler but 20 million would barely cover the cost of the film without making it look to hokey. Besides the concept of a floating boat looks too laughable by todays standards

20 million can buy you a surprising amount of stuff outside America. The korean "The Host" was 11 million, the russian "Nightwatch" was 4 million. The production value in those movies - including CGI - was quite good, even if it wasn't higher quality Hollywood standards.
Hard to say much about this movie based on that video, but it seems somewhat interesting, as I'm a big scifi geek. Thanks for the notice!
