"There is a rich mythology that will be a great foundation for a sophisticated, smart and entertaining film."<br /><br />In 'Robotech', Earth has developed giant robots from technology discovered on an alien spacecraft that crashed on a South Pacific island.<br /><br />This technology is used to fend off three successive extraterrestrial invasions.<br /><br />Warner Bros. worked very hard to obtain the rights to 'Robotech' and are looking at this as a possible franchise so you can bet that they will not screw it up.<br /> /><p><hr /></p></p></blockquote> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

i hope they do it in series format so they can get a lot of it in; it would be a lot of movies! What would it be . . .. twelve movies plus more to get the sentinels in?!

His production company bought the rights, so it's his sandbox. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
