On September 7th, 2007, the Hollywood Reporter stated that Warner Brothers had acquired the film rights to Robotech, and would be producing a live-action film through Maguire Entertainment with an as-yet-unknown release date. Tobey Maguire "is eyeing the lead role."

In an interview,Harmony Gold representative Kevin McKeever said that Warner Brothers had approached Harmony Gold about the project, that Harmony Gold would have "a say" in its creative direction, and that it was not expected to affect the production schedule for Shadow Rising. He was unable to confirm any details of budget, casting, expected release date, or storyline, explaining that it was too early in the life of the project for these things to have been decided.





Meanwhile on the distant planet Iscandar Queen Starsha patiently waits with her Cosmo DNA. Disney (who owns the movie rights) to get off their asses and make a live action version of Starblazers.

148,000 light years in ONE earth year!​

Ask and ye shall receive.

 

[jonKranked]

i heard there's a live action version of Gundam Wing (or one of its variants) in production.

 

[MMike]

Robotech was an awesome cartoon. Watched it religiously.....DAMN THE INVID!!! DAMN THEM TO HELLL!!!!!!


Can't wait for Transformers vs. Gobots....Transformers would kick their imitation asses........

 

[LordOpie]

Nothing captured my attention as a small child like "Starblazers".

That was the mutha fvckin' bomb!

 

[Westy]

They need to do a Knight Rider and Blue Thunder movie. Magnum PI too.

that show rocked.

although i feel like a live action version of it just won't be the same.

 

[Zark]

I want Mech Warrior movie, that'd kick ass.

 

[Da Peach]

I want a Rocket Robin Hood movie, and Johnny Quest.

I would cast Little Superstar to play Hadji.

 

[Spero]

I want Mech Warrior movie, that'd kick ass.

If it had a decent budget, yeah, that would get my vote.

 

[James]

Robot Jox anyone?

 

[skinny mike]

I would cast Little Superstar to play Hadji.

i forgot about johnny quest. kids these days don't know what they missed out on.

 

[urbaindk]

Johnny Quest was cool. People actually slumped over dead when they got shot at.

 

[Zark]

If it had a decent budget, yeah, that would get my vote.

Stories a plenty all ready to go, they've got something like 30 books in the Mechwarrior universe.

But, yeah it'll take a solid budget to do 100's of these badboys going to town on each other.

I've never quite been into it enough to read much of the storyline, but the games certainly do kick ass. The first one I played was for Sega Genesis and I forget the name of it but now that you reminded me, I think I'll dig that little s.o.b. out and play some tonight.

 

[Sandwich]

Robot Jox anyone?

for the goddamned win.

i watched this last night. Thank you, netflix....

I don't see myself adding it to my queue, but damned if I wouldn't watch it if it came on one of my 800 movie channels...

Edit: Awesomeness

 

[gonefirefightin]

what about Voltron?

there wasn't nearly enough fighting in it...too much bs.

to GFF,
i hear there's a voltron movie coming out...

 

[James]

what about Voltron?

What about Tranzor Z?

I have had the opening credit music in my head for like 25 years...

 

[MikeD]

Blue Thunder movie.

Umm, dude...the TV show WAS a spin-off of a movie... Perhaps an Airwolf movie, though?

The thing I don't like about these new manga movies is that they're gonna force me to face my inner geek as I shell out the cash for the tix...

 

[Secret Squirrel]

Perhaps an Airwolf movie, though?

From this:

To this:

Maybe they should cast Robert Duvall and Tom Cruise instead...

 

[Inclag]

what about Voltron?

They are actually going to come out with a Voltron movie. I for one am very excited about this.

[Da Peach]

Days of Blue Thunder?

 

[MikeD]

AHAAAHAHAAHAAAA! That'd be a hell of a movie poster. Photochop anyone?

 

[stevew]

That was the mutha fvckin' bomb!

I think it would be the easiest to do.

And it would be better than Star Wars.

 

[Skookum]

Even though you suck, i totally frikking agree with you here.

[James]

DAMMIT!!! I was going to say TRANZOR ZEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Must be a Montreal thing or something.
I totally made a bitchin Lego version of the little ship he parks in the head.

 

[MikeD]

I always knew him as Majinga (Mazinger?)...was that the Japanese name for the show? We had Japanese friends when I was a kid--they gave us the toys, but I never saw the show.

Yep...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mazinger_Z

 

[MikeD]

What about a Battle of the Planets movie??!

The guy from Heroes (plays Peter Petrelli) or Jake Gylenhall might work for that lead...

 

[MikeD]

I'm calling out SkaredShtles for a ninja-deleted post. Fess up.

Come on... I posted before I read the thread. So sue me.

 

[H8R]

The Macross series will make great movies. The cartoon (Robotech) rocked. Only series I can remember as a kid where key characters actually got killed in battle.

Transformers, Gobots and all the rest of that crap all came after Macross. OG vehicle-to-giant-robot entertainment right there.

 

[H8R]

Who's going to play Khyron?
