UN_MARINE Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 *snip* You don't get it, as usual. The only people that will have ANY say in a future for the Southern Cross designs are Harmony Gold and Tatsunoko. Given the ambivalence of the Japanese towards the series, any new iteration would have to come from Harmony Gold. ok, i don't know where that "angry" Southern Cross respose came from, but i sure as hell never mentioned anything about Southern Cross. i was simply expressing my dismay on what seemed like original(?) artwork & the talent behind it being wasted on the likes of HG. i was under the impression that the pics posted were original designs. because... well... they don't look like Southern Cross designs to me. i too, shall sigh. *le sigh*
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 Just use the designs from mospeada already geez... Just modernise the edges the way kawamori modernised the vf-1 as the vf-0. But make it so that the beta fighter isn't a beta fighter but something like the ghost booster where it is completely allowed to fly unmanned and act autonomously like the motoslave? Its role is as a transformable ghost drone and booster similar to the booster that the glaug uses when it is docked with it. This way if the movie fails we get out legioss and tread toys. I could barely afford my CMs one.
Roger Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 IMDB says 2010: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1103173/
Tristam Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 wow... thats a bit far...hopefully, it'll not disappoint...
azrael Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 soooo.... any updates on this yet..? All they have is a script/screenplay-writer. They still need a director and producer to move this project in any direction (more importantly, a director). A movie can get a screenplay but sit in development hell for generations unless a director is hired. And even that's not a guarantee. So 2010 is a "best guess" estimate, provided they can find someone to helm this project by the end of the year.
big F Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 Well the longer it sits on the bench the better as CGI will have moved on and we are less likley to get a film with Shadow Cronicles type cgi Im sure Warners have got someone like ILM linned up for the job.
Hikuro Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 Well the longer it sits on the bench the better as CGI will have moved on and we are less likley to get a film with Shadow Cronicles type cgi sad.gif Im sure Warners have got someone like ILM linned up for the job. They could also go entirely the other direction to save on the budget....if technology for animation improves they could go for the older style cause it'd be cheaper and faster to make.
Roger Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 They could also go entirely the other direction to save on the budget....if technology for animation improves they could go for the older style cause it'd be cheaper and faster to make. Or, it could go the complete opposite direction from that, and they attempt to make a movie using the biggest-budget, most advanced CGI possible. Who knows?
Penguin Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 I'll be very surprised if this project doesn't languish in development hell for a few years before fading into obscurity, like ADV's Evangelion movie. I think it'll need someone actually important in the movie biz (sorry, Tobey... you don't count) to get excited about it for it to get any backing... like Spielberg on Transformers.
Agent ONE Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 Stage fright.. Go away!! This is my BIG DAAAY! This is my time to be a STAAAAARRRRRRRRR!!!
Macross007 Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 I pray this movie NEVER gets made. Don't worry, the movie is going to be like a BIG piece a poo anyway one way or another. And if the movie is indeed a flop (which I am sure at 99%), only the name "Robotech" will suffer. Not the legendary name "Macross".

Duke Togo Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 (edited) Robotech will be a direct sequel to Battlefield Earth, with Roger Maris playing Rick Hunter. Edited August 28, 2008 by Duke Togo
Duke Togo Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 Stage fright.. Go away!! This is my BIG DAAAY! This is my time to be a STAAAAARRRRRRRRR!!! Dude, sing a different Minmay song, that one belongs to me.
adrianop Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 I can imagine the "We will win" horror of it all.
MisaForever Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 Stage fright.. Go away!! This is my BIG DAAAY! This is my time to be a STAAAAARRRRRRRRR!!! Thanks for putting THAT song in my head
Gubaba Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 Dude, sing a different Minmay song, that one belongs to me. To be in looooooooooove... Must be the greatest feeling, that a girl can feeeel... I'll be very surprised if this project doesn't languish in development hell for a few years before fading into obscurity, like ADV's Evangelion movie. I think it'll need someone actually important in the movie biz (sorry, Tobey... you don't count) to get excited about it for it to get any backing... like Spielberg on Transformers. I dunno. Tobey McGuire is, if not exactly Hollywood Royalty, at least someone with a few serious blockbusters on his resumé. At least, he pulls more weight than, say, the ADV guys or the HG guys. So yeah, not big enough to make this movie and damn the consequences! But not so small that there's no chance in hell. Which leaves us in the same precarious position we were in before...I just hope no big-name director is willing to take it on. Or that, if it must get made, it becomes one of those pet projects that ends up taking twenty years to make...
Sumdumgai Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 (edited) Here's a big name director for you. Uwe Bolle. Robotech and Uwe Bolle deserve each other. Addition for clarification: I think both Robotech and Uwe Bolle are steaming piles of crap. Uwe Bolle would certainly sink a Robotech movie if he directed it. Edited August 29, 2008 by Sumdumgai
Tristam Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 uwe boll.. i dunno..he did direct both bloodrayne movies, alone in the dark, In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale and the upcoming Far Cry movie.. but i dont think he can go sci-fi...
areaseven Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 Here's a better idea for a live-action Robotech: Why not employ the director and production team that did the film ? At least HG will save a ton on production costs.
Agent ONE Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 NO NO!! A robotech movie must be made in robotech fashion... They are going to redub Hamlet in Jive, then re-edit Army of Darkness to be the sequel.
Agent ONE Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 Dude, sing a different Minmay song, that one belongs to me. I don't remember one.. If it helps you I will credit you every time I sing it. You and Reba West.

At least HG will save a ton on production costs. holy hell... do you realize that would mean total ruin for the movie? and we haven't even considered meddling from the local government/entertainment royalty! that's astounding failure in the making! I approve of this idea 100% ! or yeah, they could just re-dub Resiklo. ( the transforming robots will be in the sequel )
Valkyrie addict Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 It's actually very sad that HG is still clinging to an 80's cartoon that was a complete fluke and are trying to milk it with no result I hope Robotech movies ends up asides the Batman vs Superman script and forgotten
azrael Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 It's actually very sad that HG is still clinging to an 80's cartoon that was a complete fluke and are trying to milk it with no result Yeh, didn't they say the same thing about Transformers and G.I. Joe...

Roger Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 At least HG will save a ton on production costs. Harmony Gold isn't making this movie, Warner Brothers is. It's actually very sad that HG is still clinging to an 80's cartoon that was a complete fluke and are trying to milk it with no result Actually, I'd say the results were pretty favorable for them. By demonstrating the success of the original series and Shadow Chronicles on DVD, they were able to generate enough interest to sell the movie rights to a production company that, in turn, got the interest of a major studio. Whether or not this movie gets made, Harmony Gold still got paid for the option to make it.
Duke Togo Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 Yeh, didn't they say the same thing about Transformers and G.I. Joe... EXCUSE ME! TRANSFORMERS AND GI JOE WERE NOT FLUKES! They were marketing genius.
Wes Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 I don't remember one.. If it helps you I will credit you every time I sing it. You and Reba West. I would pay to see you three sing it as long a flamethrower rentals are available at the door.
Hiriyu Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 NO NO!! A robotech movie must be made in robotech fashion... They are going to redub Hamlet in Jive, then re-edit Army of Darkness to be the sequel. That made me laugh. Awesome. That is the way forward. Thanks
EXO Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 NO NO!! A robotech movie must be made in robotech fashion... They are going to redub Hamlet in Jive, then re-edit Army of Darkness to be the sequel. Alas poor Yorick... give me some sugar...
