For starters, I wouldn't mind seeing the movie retitled to Macross...

Robotech? Ew.

So...it'll be a combination of Gurren Lagann, Macross Frontier and Gundam Unicorn, eh?

Oh, and I mean a literal combination. Simon will meet Alto, while drilling underground trying to escape the Federation. It will be a masterpiece!

That director should watch the original first.

Also, aren't there still a lot of copyright issues over it?

lol

Robotech is not anime so why is it on here?

Hey, Robotech was arguably the first series I ever gave a damn about, not to mention I know of many individuals whom got into anime after watching said series. It's a gateway anime.

Agreed, Bard. I remember liking some shows that happened to be anime long before "anime" was even a word you'd find in secret corners of comic cons, but Robotech cemented my love for it. I knew when i watched it that "cartoons" could be so much more than... well, cartoons.

And saying Robotech is not anime? I'd like to see the reasons behind that statement. Sure, it was adapted and rewritten from other anime, but... i'd say that in itself would make the point that it is, in fact, anime.

And what i'd like to see in the movie (assuming it's the Macross saga, and not the rest): a less-annoying Minmay, mature subject matter, substance over 'splosions, and faithful mech design. Please no Bayformers treatment on this. Also: Morgan Freeman as Captain Gloval.

My name is Tana Sarnt, and over the past year, I’ve created an original Robotech live-action film with the sole purpose of landing a role to play a Veritech fighter pilot in the upcoming Robotech live-action feature film by Maguire Entertainment and Warner Bros. Pictures.

Please visit www.projectrobotech.com to see my film and read about my story. Believe it or not, this journey started in March of 2008, not long after I heard the announcement for the Live-Action film. As I’m sure for many of you reading this, something came alive inside of me as soon as I heard. As an actor in New York, I am in the unique position to actually make my childhood dream of being a Veritech fighter pilot a reality.

I am a pragmatic person and realize that I am an underdog here, but with the right support I have faith that I can pull this off. I hope you enjoy the film and know that as I was filming it, I had Robotech/Macross (I'm not too interested in the distinction, but just know that it's all good) fans like you in mind.

Sincerely,

Tana

@Tana -- good luck!
