Talking Live action movies for ROBOTECH and also VOLTRON!! (80's anime)


Yup thats right! I know there are a few of us ROBOTECH fans here on the site so I figured I'd tell you first. Toby MacGuire will be starring in the ROBOTECH movie. (I've liked him in alot of his movies so far) The executive producers will be Harmony Gold...the same people that produce all the true to art cartoons, video games, books, and website for ROBOTECH so I cant see them getting really far off the original storyline like Transformers. I hope they get someone that can actually sing to play "Minmei" (That was pretty much the worst thing about the actual show was her singing...ugh!)

As far as Voltron goes, all I know about that is the rights have been purchased to make a live action movie. I'm expecting a "Power Rangers" type plot and theme because Voltron was the basis for all those type shows where people in robots with powers come together to form one giant robot to kick somoe giant alien monster robeast's arse...

Well at least it should have pretty good production value. I think that as long as you made the atmosphere right for the movie it would be pretty good. The being 'anime' might turn a few more mainstream people off, but if you did it in a pretty dark fashion I think it would be pretty sweet. (Think BSG dark)

I think Toby did a decent job in the first two, I didn't like the third one as much.

I posted the Robotech thing in the Anime fan thread a few weeks ago. I don't see Tobey Maguire as Rick Hunter.

We've known about Voltron for some time. I've read the script, itis NOTHING like the animated TV show. You are dead WRONG about the Power Rangers thing. It takes place in a post-apocolyptic Earth where the Drule have destroyed nearly the whole planet. The Alliance doesn't exist. The King and Allura come to Earth via a potal in Mexico city and construct Voltron here on Earth out of scrap parts, they descibe the Blue lion as having the cockpit of an F16 for the head/coclkpit and steam shovel bucket for the jaws. All the characters are there, Keith,Sven, Lance, Hunk and Pidge except Hunk is black and Pidge is an orphaned computer wiz living on the streets. In fact they're all living on the streets. They're all freedom fighters except for Pidge...... That's all I'm going to say.... You can wait for the rest
