This is news to me, and I didn't see any other posts so here ya go.

Robotech Movie

As much as I loved Transformers, I was a bigger fan of Robotech. The good news so far, WB has it - of course by the time it finishes production, is released in theaters, and eventually makes it to home video, Blu-ray will have won anyway

They should just make Macross Plus into a movie. Short enough, self-contained, and not ruined in its US release

Too bad Stealth probably killed that

He wasn't my first choice for Spidey either, but once I saw the movie I was ok with him... but, he's also not a top choice for me to take the Robotech lead either.

daisuke149 · 09-07-2007, 10:21 PM

he just really can't act all that well. Unless you give him the roll of some loser emo kid who turns out to be gay after long years of denial.

I have always been a MUCH bigger fan of Macross than Transformers. Always felt the later was a rip off, especially when I realized as a child that the plane transformer was just a rip off of the Valkyrie in Macross.

I really hope they do this franchise justice. It's truly a great story. Granted the 'Robotech' adaption of Macross, Southern Cross and Mospeada is a little 'soft', especially in the vague way they linked them together.

Overall, it could make a very interesting series of movies... at least three.

After the successful CGI in Transformers, I wouldn't mind seeing a live action robotech.

Macross Plus was very good, though.

I hope they don't give him the Rick Hunter hair-do. That would be REAL bad.

Ugh, and they had to use the Harmony Gold name of Robocrap, er I mean Robotech. I wish they would call it as it is... Macross, and use the real ethnicities and names from the Japanese version.

For the record, this is Robotech, not The Macross. There is a difference, even if the original Macross was by far a better standalone series in Japan.

Who cares about the actor playing Rick! Who's going to play Minmei and Lisa???

Damn... I love me some Macross. For those of you hating on Tobey Maguire, give the guy some credit for having enough clout to get a Robotech movie greenlit!

As far as Minmei is concerned: it has to be Ziyi Zhang.

red_5ive · 09-07-2007, 11:04 PM

I always thought Shari Belafonte would be the perfect Claudia. Of course she probably wouldn't suit the role now.

newtype311 · 09-07-2007, 11:07 PM

I always thought Edward james almos would make the perfect captain gloval and then he went and became adama in BSG which is almost the same story and role type when you break it down.

Rob71 · 09-08-2007, 01:14 AM

OK they made Transformers and did a decent job. A couple weeks ago I hear about Voltron and if that goes as planned will be Voltron in name only. They also want Thundercats. Now today I hear about Robotech and G.I JOE. Why do I get a bad feeling about this.

Ironically one of the revivals of the Real Galactica would have featured walking/transforming Vipers, no word on Cassiopeia's singing career.

'Voltron' gets bigscreen go

The 20th Century Fox-based production entity is close to a deal with the Mark Gordon Co. to adapt "Voltron: Defender of the Universe" into a live-action film
