Nah. North and South Korea will unite, Guns N' Roses will reunite for good, and Adam Sandler will make an Oscar-winning movie before a live-action RT ever happens.

A couple of old podacsting buddies just did an interview with Kevin McKeever regarding this movie. Unfortunately they were not able to bring me in on it, but they are going to send me it first along with notes of what happened before and after to get my analysis. Apparently he was quite squirrelly during the interview, especially regarding the rights issue. THis should be an interesting listen. Once it goes live I will post the link with my reactions.

Is he even employed by HG any more? I figured when they got rid of the forums his job would be the first to go. Maybe they were able to just drop him to part-time or call him a paid intern.

Props to an old friend Zen72 for ultimately being vindicated on all fronts by this movie not going anywhere for a decade, I guess karma finally reaching McKeever for being a huckster, and the official website/forum reduced by internal problems to looking like nothing more than a blog.

What are you talking about? They didn't "get rid of the forums". The forums transcended this plane of existence and moved to a higher one. Just like Dave Bowman at the end of 2001.

That makes sense.

I prefer to think of them as fighting evil in another dimension! :p

Or like "End of the Circle?"

So the interview posted. According to McKeever, "Sony has the rights to make a live action film based on all 85 episodes of robotech, and can approach it from any direction they want." He repeats that at least three times. Still listening to it now, LOL, a lot of BS coming out of his mouth.

Sony Pictures lawyers are probably going to take a different view if they look into the matter in detail

I would love to see ALL 85 episodes adapted into ONE 85 minute movie.

Robotech: The Abridgd Series! Coming to a theater near you for an extremely brief time in 20XX.

Not doing anything with it for a few years counts as an approach, right? Just like what Warner Bros. ultimately did?

They can approach from any direction as long as it's not the direction of those 41 designs Harmony Gold's lawyers are terrified of that happen to be the things people liked about Robotech and within a budget of tree fiddy.

Hey guys, any chance of keeping this to actual new when (yeah, yeah, I know) something actually happens? I'm not even going to bother going anywhere else for "news" on this topic and popping in here every update takes more effort than it is worth...

The Forbes interview doesn't count?
