So I don't know how I missed this over the last week or so, but we have a new trailer showing some actual footage of the Gundam 00 movie and some new images taken from it. Hit the jump for the trailer and images!

First off, let's get to the good stuff. The trailer!
I can't understand a word of Japanese but I like what I see. Even despite not being able to understand the trailer, you can actually infer a few story elements just from the images. It's clear Celestial Being will be back, and it looks like there's still unfinished business with the Innovators, as well as a new GNX model. Most interesting seems to be Graham Aker on the Ptolemaios talking to Felt. We have the new models in action, first seen here:




From left to right, top to bottom: Setsuna F Seiei's Gundam 00 Quan[T], Lockon Stratos' Gundam Zabanya, Allelujah Haptism's Gundam Harute, and Tieria Erde's Raphael Gundam.
Let me just say I love the little nods to past series' suits in the suit design, especially on the new 00. It has a very Nu-Gundam feel, and I like that. I was a little disappointed in Zabanya at first; it seemed over-simplistic. But after watching the trailer and seeing it in action, I'm quite satisfied with all the suits. Which brings us to the other reason you're here, some high-quality images taken from the trailer. I'll be posting just my favorites because there are a ton, head on over to Ngee Khiong for the full batch of shots.

What looks like a new space-type Flag. I'm very happy, I missed the Flags.
And speaking of Flags...

Can someone explain to me what the hell Graham Aker is doing with Felt onboard the Ptolemaios? If this means he's joining up with Celestial Being, I'm doubly happy.

00 Quan[T] is keeping the GN Sword, and it looks like they added either a shield bit or Dragoon-esque system ala Seed.

Raphael Gundam's face. Why does Tieria always seem to get stuck with big, bulky, fat suits?

Gundam Zabanya. Lockon being Lockon. Enough said.
Overall, it looks like this is shaping up to be just as excellent as Endless Waltz was for Wing. The Japanese release is scheduled for September, which means a dub will probably arrive in time for the holidays.
