Robotech Film Moves To Sony Where It's Being Fast Tacked


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.
