A while a go, it was announced that Tobey Mcguire's company was working on a Robotech Movie since acquiring the rights but more recently I've heard that he is going to do Spiderman 4 for Marvel.
I'm wondering what fans of the Robotech series would like to see in terms of material covered in this movie because there are so many interloping storylines and characters involved. What would make for a really go theater based movie about Robotech.
I've my own opinions but cheifly I would like to see this one animated and am partial to the Macross storylines leading up to the Southern cross episodes. I'm also a fan of the Jack Mckinney novels.
There's a great robotech podcasts that is quite comprehensive and insightful. Subscribe via i tunes or go to this link.

First of all, I'd like Tobey out of the picture. I don't think he's that great of an actor, nor is he right for any role in Robotech.
I'd like them to make a trilogy of the First Robotech generation. From the crash landing of the Robotech Master's ship on Earth and ending with the victory over the Zentrati and the nuking of Earth. And the final battle's got to be complete with Minmei singing over the battle in the window of the SDF-1. So awesome!
I want this to be live action. Transformers showed just how amazing giant photo realistic robots fighting in a city can be. But not the crappy Transformer's designs, make them look just like the cartoon and toys. Those designs actually worked.
And if they're going to do this, don't skimp on the CGI, get ILM to do it. They killed it on Transformers.
Time to go day dream of Commander Hayes. :D
