It looks like Tobey Maguire<\/a> (of Spiderman<\/a> fame) will produce (and may star in) a film<\/a> based on 80’s cartoon series Robotech<\/a>. Yay!<\/p>\n

Man I hope it’s better than the Transformers movie<\/a>. I think that would be a given though; There is a lot more character and depth in the Robotech story… and it doesn’t involve giant robots from outer space… well, not in the same sense… Here’s a blurb from the article:<\/p>\n

\nA sprawling sci-fi epic, “Robotech” takes place at a time when Earth has developed giant robots from the technology on an alien spacecraft that crashed on a South Pacific isle. Mankind is forced to use the technology to fend off three successive waves of alien invasions. The first invasion concerns a battle with a race of giant warriors who seek to retrieve their flagship’s energy source known as “protoculture,” and the planet’s survival ends up in the hands of two young pilots.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well that describes the first series. I can’t imagine that they would be planning a one-off movie; they have to be aiming for a trilogy. I just hope they don’t baulk at making another one after making the second movie (which will be crap if based on the second Robotech series…)<\/p>\n

I’m sure you can find many more opinions and details<\/a> on the Robotech.com forums<\/a>.<\/p>\n
