Last month news got out that Hollywood Gang, a production company based on
the Warner Bros. lot run by Mark Canton, and Gianni Nunnari were working on the
long in development adaptation of the 1980's sci-fi anime Robotech and were
eyeing director Andy Muschietti (Mama) to helm the giant robot tentpole.
In all honesty, at the time I thought this was going to be one of those projects
that were going to linger in development hell until the point where the rights reverted
to its owners. Well I guess I was somewhat wrong. The rights did changed hands
but from Warner to Sony, which according to Deadline is looking to fast track
the project as they see it as a potential franchise.
Doug Belgrad, Michael De Luca, and Matthew Milam will help guide the
project together with Canton, and Nunnari.
Robotech is unique in that it has always been a marriage of spectacle with
human characters that seem drawn from life. That’s why we are so excited to be
working with Mark and Gianni as we move forward on this project. With a
history that offers an epic love triangle, a renegade hero, and a world on the
brink of extinction, Robotech offers
a wide scope and a rich and impressive universe where the story possibilities
are endless.
I only ever managed to watch a couple of episodes so I'm
not as invested as many fans might be, but I really hope this time the
adaptation takes off.
