RyuRoots Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 That the resultant film will be terrible is a 100% guarantee; I'll absolutely see it, IF it ever actually gets made but I sure as hell am not paying theater (aka highway robbery) prices for it. But that's always the rub, the people that "adapt" these things never understand the base, or care to. Most likely scenario is that we'll get a gruff white american male soldier american pilot. Who is an american. Who will proceed to blow up a bunch of evil faceless aliens and win over his CO and/or Katy Perry analogue before stopping the evil aliens' attempts to glass Earth in some gross parody of mechanical design, which aside from design is guaranteed to be in the blandest shade of gray imaginable. Funny thing is I think you could get pretty far by just taking a decommissioned F-14 and painting it white with red stripes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Shade Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I don't think it's realistic to expect a Mospeada movie, they're going to want to start at the beginning of the story, not the 3rd part, and they're going to want ti do Macross story elements that they don't own. This movie has clusterfrakk written all over it. I don't think it matters where they start. This movie (if it even gets made) will essentially be a franchise reboot. They can start wherever they feel like. Besides, to the casual fan who hasn't watched RT in over 15 years, their reaction will be pretty much "wow, this has everything I remember", while the diehards will just sit quietly as they realize that the movie absolutely shits all over their precious 30+ year cartoon.

Mr March Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I think we've already discussed this many times before, but I'll just repeat that tans can be guaranteed that if this live action Robotech movie does actually get made, it will look nothing like Macross. For two reasons: Hollywood ALWAYS does their own thing with whatever rights they purchase, very often to the point where the resultant film can be recognized as the original work in name only The original Macross is far too old in technology and technique for modern audiences. Expect the look of the film to be something more along the lines of Bayformers/GI Joe/Avatar. The people behind this film have already publically stated the production design will not follow anything from the existing IP because they are ignoring it all. Which is kinda good for us Macross fans, because once people see the film we won't have to suffer "Oh, is that like Robotech" when we talk about Macross because no one will ever mistake the two for each other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vespaeda Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 ^^-- What HE said…@Mr. March.Avg. 'Joe' movie-goer:"..So, ummm….THAT Brad Pitt movie was THEE "World War Z"??...that was single-handedly responsible for re-inventing and reviving the Zombie genre? ...Including "28 Days", "The Walking Dead" and all the rest, eh?…Hmmm, hard to believe…"Discerning/Informed Fan:"..Ahhh--No. No, it wasn't…not by a billion-gagillion miles, it wasn't. ...In THREE words: 1) Hollyweird…and, 2) Trust ME!… ...Go to the original source material--the book; it will make MOAR sense than if I stood here and tried to explain any further.."

If they change things up, it will distance it from Macross, and the maybe robotech will die... I'm not serious of course, but I mention Macross, to most people, and they recognize it once I bring up robotech. I then give them all the Macross videos I have, hoping that they'll see that Macross is so much better, which usually ends up true. My cast XD Rick Hunter: Dakota Goyo Roy Fokker: Channing Tatum Lisa Hayes: Melissa Holroyod Lynn Minmai: Marie Iitoyo Wow, that'd kind of suck.

Tochiro Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 nah, we have already had a Macross musical which managed to be a nice homage AND added new characters to the franchise despite being on a shoestring budget. Wouldn't want anyone to confuse it with whatever Robojunk gets made next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) Clearly, Ron Jeremy needs to be Roy. Figured Michael Bay himself would play Roy.......Megan Fox should play Lisa Hayes. Meg isn't a porn star yet, but I've said before that her acting abilities would make her a shoe in for porn or highschool drama class.

jvmacross Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) A Mazinger Z movie would probably make the average movie goer say that it is a Pacific Rim ripoff....just like they would likely say a Robotech movie is like a Tranformers ripoff.......
