I don't know guys - I'm going to be the voice of dissent here. I thought Wan did a pretty decent job with Furious Seven, I like the franchise from FF4, and onwards to be honest - and I never thought I'd say that. FF6 is just a brilliant popcorn flick - two words; Flying Headbutt! If you haven't seen it reserve judgement until you have, and F7 was an entertaining romp - not an intellectual excersise. Whether or not Robotech makes it out of development hell, give it a chance. No serious director would likely tackle the subject matter/genre, and Wan knows how to direct action and melodrama: Macross/Robotech has always had a heavy dose of the two so there is a chance it will be good. If Michael Bay was directing it would be very ordinary, but give the Aussie a chance is all I'm saying. I just hope the mech designs are cool - I don't want to see resemblance to the Transformers films, give me throw back Studio Nue designs with a new school flavour. Pacific Rim worked, maybe Robotech will work too! Nima https://www.facebook.com/ThreeFoldComics

I know this thread is old however Robotech getting Leonardo DiCaprio would be the best thing that could happen to the movie: http://geektyrant.com/news/2013/7/24/leonardo-dicaprio-turns-down-star-wars-for-robotech Why? He's an A-lister, a handful of hollywood actors, that can actually make the film happen, and I really hope it does. Plus DiCaprio is one of the greatest actors of our generation - feel free to disagree. Also check out the director reel from attached director mathieu - Robotech (Macross?) has some potential to at least be a good looking film; http://www.anonymouscontent.com/commercials/commercial-directors/nic-mathieu Especially this ad: http://www.adforum.com/people/nic-mathieu-40262/work/19609

Does anyone know if this project got canned or is it still happening? I would definitely be interested if it does happen.
