Robotech, upcoming movie franchise

[AngelLestat]

I read today (but I guess the news is a bit old) that Sony pictures plans to make a Robotech Franchise.

They already have director and productor.

When I was little, I love this series. I hate it the total lack of realism or logic in transformers or other cartoons of that time. The history and characters were also very complex, it was great.

Not sure how much time until is finish, maybe 3 or 4 years at least. How else is feeling enthusiastic about this film?

This ought to be fun...

The article said "live action."

This might be strange, too.

Thanks for the link, I hadn't read that article. Which expresses concern that Macross original creator/designer Shoji Kawamori isn't named. Since Robotech is derived from Macross, with its own story, he technically doesn't need to be involved, but it "would be nice."

I'll add it to a list of hopes abandoned through the years, of seeing a live action movie. The franchise (to include the Macross original) is a complex licensing mess; It could sit in development for years. I won't get excited until I hear production is starting.

yeah, maybe is quite soon to cheer.
