UN_MARINE Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 Isn't this is just typical HG behavior? Every time they feel the need to be relevant again, they name-drop a trending Hollywood name (or harass somebody over questionable IP infringement). After a few weeks, it eventually goes nowhere. I'll believe it when people are actually buying tickets. Quote
JB0 Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 Won't happen at all, not sure why you guys are still falling for this stuff.Because it never stops being funny. Quote
EXO Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 Because it never stops being funny. Finally... someone gets it... Quote

I'll believe it when people are actually buying tickets. Typical Hollywood behavior. They shoot for money makers to attract ad revenue. But like most Hollywood rumors, unless the person is actually filming the movie, it's all talk. Even if they're signed up, they still have to deal with everything else that could get in the way before filming starts. Look at Ant-Man. Edgar Wright was on-board right up to filming when Marvel and him decided to split. Typical HG behavior will be spinning up the hype machine at their next convention panel. Quote

azrael Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Like I said, until he's actually filming, don't put too much faith behind rumor talk. Case in point from yesterday: Josh Trank Departs Star Wars Anthology Film Trank was signed up and ready to film but then things happen and the studio and director split. So when HG brings in the hype machine at their convention panels, remember stuff like this. And remember all they other times they've named-dropped and yet nothing happened. Quote
Dynaman Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 I try to remember the names as they go by but most of them were so forgettable... Quote
spanner Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 so will a live action Macross or Robotech movie actually ever happen? Im kinda surprised that after all these years no one has dipped their toes into it!? We've have 4 too many Transformers movies already so what's the delay!? Quote
Beltane70 Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 I'm still betting that if the live action Robotech movie actually does get made, the general public will probably think that it's just a Transformers rip-off. Quote
azrael Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 I'm still betting that if the live action Robotech movie actually does get made, the general public will probably think that it's just a Transformers rip-off. Or a Pacific Rim ripoff. Quote
Gubaba Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 so will a live action Macross or Robotech movie actually ever happen? Im kinda surprised that after all these years no one has dipped their toes into it!? We've have 4 too many Transformers movies already so what's the delay!? Good question. It'd be nice if there were hundreds of posts over the past decade or so here dissecting the exact reasons why it hasn't happened, wouldn't it? Quote
skullmilitia Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 Not only will it not look anything like the original show (because they have rights to the animation only) but the original designs would never hold up to a big budget movie. It would have to be completely redone, and would not retain any of what you loved about Macross or Robotech. Hope, that it never makes it off the "no budget" floor. It would have to completely re-invent Science Fiction, to be anything more than a lack luster "another transformers wtf" movie with the 99.99999999999999999% of the people buying movie tickets. Quote
peter Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 Space Battleship Yamato live action was done semi-right. The ship design, wardrobe were changed just enough not to fukk with your childhood, though the rest was sort of meh. Frankly, if this thing ever gets off the ground, I hope Michael Bay directs it. It will be so far from the original, I just won't care. Quote
505thAirborne Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 (edited) ^^^^^^ If thing should get off the ground and Michael Bay were to direct, any chance of this movie being remotely interesting goes right out the window. Its nickname will be "Explosions Part 5" Edited May 7, 2015 by 505thAirborne Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 i'm looking forward to rick hunter teaming up with Zor to fight the invid and get the flowers of life for minmay and lisa. Quote
Marzan Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 And the winner of American Idol 2017 singing "We Will Win"..yeah! Quote
eight_car Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 And the last 1/3rd of the movie will be some idiot named Scott running around saying "Admiral Hunter" every third sentence! Quote
skullmilitia Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 Taylor Swift get the grammy for "To be in love"... Quote
Duke Togo Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 And the last 1/3rd of the movie will be some idiot named Scott running around saying "Admiral Hunter" every third sentence! Now I'm feeling like I need to work "Admiral Hunter" into every post that I make. Quote
Dynaman Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 Taylor Swift get the grammy for "To be in love"... Well that is really no worse than Annie Lennox getting the award for the final LotR movie. She is a GREAT singer but that song was not good at all. Quote
azrael Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 James Wan Closes Deals to Direct 'Aquaman' and 'Robotech' So The Conjuring 2: The Endfield Experiment, Aquaman and Robotech. Please drop out of RT. Please drop out of RT. Please drop out RT. It would make me laugh so hard if he did. Quote
TangledThorns Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Looks like Robotech is last on the list so I'm curious as to how soon will we see it? Seems like he completes his films fast & furious (<-LOL) so maybe three years, less perhaps? Quote
chowyunskinny Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 I foresee Rick Hunter & Khyron playing a game of chicken. Veritech vs. Battlepod, both survive the mid air collision and continue the fight using wreckage from the vehicles as weaponsand there will be a tribute to Roy Fokker as the credits roll. Probably a Wiz Khalifa song with a white guy singing the hook Quote
Mr March Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Perfect. Wan is great at directing disposable, melodramatic box office fluff that is forgotten a month after it's released. I couldn't have hoped for a more ideal marriage of IP and director. Please hire Damon Lindelof to write Robotech. Let that come to pass Quote
