Awesome! I actually was going to buy this particular Valk from a friend, but I'm more into the original VF's (I have the Hikaru VF-1S Strike and the GBP-1J from Yamato).

Here's a pic of my Strike in my 80s Anime section:

I am incredibly happy that Kasdan is attached to Robotech. Maybe next great Space Opera is ahead.

Same here, let's hope it's done right so that we Robotech fans have something to be proud of!

Gough and Millar to Write Robotech
Source: The Hollywood Reporter November 17, 2008


Alfred Gough and Miles Millar have been brought on to write Robotech, Warner Bros.' adaptation of the anime classic, says The Hollywood Reporter.

Akiva Goldsman and Chuck Roven are producing with Tobey Maguire and Drew Crevello.

"Robotech" was a 1980s cartoon series from Harmony Gold USA and Tatsunoko Prods. It was re-edited and re-dialogued to combine three Japanese anime series to give the producers enough episodes to air as a daily syndicated series.

A 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 an alien invasion, with the fate of the human race ending up in the hands of two young pilots.

Lawrence Kasdan wrote a previous draft. Gough and Millar worked on The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor and Spider-Man 2, among other films, and were showrunners on TV's "Smallville" for many years.

I hope they stick to the original story and they make the valkeries look like the F-14's

It's been a LOOONG time since anything was updated on this front.

It shouldn't come as a surprise that Disney and Lucasfilm have been going after big name actors to star in J.J. Abrams' Star Wars: Episode VII. We recently learned that Ryan Gosling and Zac Efron are being considered for parts, but they aren't the only ones the studio has sought.

According to Latino-Review, the studio also wanted Leonardo DiCaprio to star in the film. He turned it down so that he could focus his attention on Robotech instead! I've been waiting for a live-action Robotech movie for years! The last thing we heard was that commercial director Nic Mathieu would be developing it with producers Akiva Goldsman and Tobey Maguire.
