Morpheus Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 We are very excited to bring Robotech to the big screen. There is a rich mythology that will be a great foundation for a sophisticated, smart and entertaining film. —Tobey Maguire, [5] Smart Ro****** film?

Macross007 Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 (edited) Smart Ro****** film? The Hollywood definition for a "rich mythology that will be a great foundation for a sophisticated, smart and entertaining film" is simply a combinaison of spectacular explosions all over the place and of a simple nonsense storyline that me, you, our families and friends etc will understand without even thinking. Spectacular explosions all over the place are going to think for us instead. F*CK YEAH LIVE ACTION ROBOTECH !!!

Chet Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 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 ) Hey! You guys show some respect.

Macross_Fanboy Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 HUH?! WHAT THE HELL?! HOLY CRAP!! I DIDN'T THINK I WAS OUT OF SYNC WITH THE REST OF YOU FOR THAT LONG! DAMN! BEING UNDERWAY SUCKS EVEN MORE! DECULTURE!!!! ...............I just took a gander at what IGN had to say and the screenwriter for two of the greatest movies ever will pen this...thing? God, I saw a few blasphemous posts about SK doing the mecha designs. I'm with the rest of you that say "F--- that!" Live action Macross would be something nice...but think about how the G Savior came out, I didn't watch because I got the verdict beforehand. A wannabe LA Macross coming and another one of my favorites, a LA GitS headed by Dreamworks and Spielberg...first they ruined Street Fighter, Mario Bros, Mortal Kombat, Resident Evil...now they're gonna go ahead and ruin our favorite anime franchises...at least Transformers was good. I'm happy with Macross the way it is, I have my idea for some of the actors, but overall...no. I think about it now, yes...but deep down inside it is a big ass "NO!" God, the talk about "smart" just doesn't go well with Homotech/Robojunk/Robocrap...damn you don't have to think about the damn story. They're fighting for the petro of the future damn it! An analogy of today's world depending on who you ask! As for it probably opening doors for possible US releases of Zero and 7 would be nice...but...that's only if they credit the original concept to SK and gang...which probably won't happen because I don't recall their names appearing in HG's abomination. Well...that's all I can say, I had to go iron something to clear my mind of the shock of this relatively new news. Alright, back to watching the bad assery of ep 25 of Frontier and hope to have dreams of my gf in Sheryl's guise like I did earlier today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macross_Fanboy Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 As long as you're taking the news calmly... I was quite shocked you know because it was something totally out of the blue. From what I read in earlier posts, quite a few people were shocked. Gods, I'm still wondering if I should throw away part of my paycheck to buy a copy of Shadow Farce, but I always shy away and think about buying Carrier, but I shy away from that too...oh well, looks like I'll just wait till I go to Hong Kong and buy it there for a buck and hopefully Region 0 Macross F Blu-Ray set for like 50 or whatever they wanna charge.

I'd say any Blu-ray set you'd be able to buy of the series there at this point would just be a burned collection of TV-rips. We are talking about Hong Kong after all.

Sergorn Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Yeah but there are many Blu-Ray being released where region coding is not enforced. It tends to depend on the studios, but for instance most Warner DVDs aren't region coded, so you can buy a Region A and play it on a Region B player, and so on... There's a nefty site that reference it here actually : http://bluray.liesinc.net/ Unfortunately there aren't a lot of information regarding Japanese DVDs and Animes compared to EU or US releases. -Sergorn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the thing is sometimes they actually have the real product, but they are sold a very low prices, one of my coworkers wandered over to the Golden Arcade and bought a lot of real region 1 PS2 games complete with the real manual and anti-theft tape. I'm sure tracking down an original blu-ray wouldn't be a problem. I'll have to wait and see, I got some big budget items coming this year ranging from a car, 40+ inch LCD and a PS3 when I get back to JP. Not to mention the 1/60 M+ Valks...

Oh yeah, no doubt about that. Fake or real, shopping in Hong Kong was cheap but I got the impression you were going to look for a complete series set.

taksraven Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I think its fair to say that the Robotech Live Action movie is at a stage in Hollywood known as DEVELOPMENT HELL. A lot of movies don't emerge from this stage. The Jim Cameron film Avatar, which is due to come out late next year, has been in the works since 1995, with a lot of that time spent in development hell.

Roger Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 That's a little premature, isn't it? The deal between Warner Brothers and Harmony Gold was signed only about a year ago, and they commissioned the first draft of the script only four months ago. All of the original people who were involved with it still are. If 2012 rolls around, the movie has bounced back and forth between three different studios, there are six different scripts, the movie has gone through eight different directors and it still hasn't been made, then you can give it the "Development Hell" label. ;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
