Tobey Maguire w/Warner Bros. Acquire Robotech Film Rights
This is the kind of news that gets actor Gary Coleman all tingly with excitement. What do I mean by that? Well, I interviewed him for Anime Selects when we were covering NYCC this past February. He decided to let me interview him when he realized that we were that anime channel on TV (I never asked him if he was a Comcast subscriber). Anyway, he wouldn't let up on talking about "Robotech" and how he loved that show. And like all fans, he wondered what the hell happened to Adml. Rick Hunter. And then I told him that it continues in "Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles" and he was very excited to check that out.
Anyway, this news must be official since its now available on Anime News Network (news first broke on The Hollywood Reporter) and was announced during Toronto Film Fest non the less.
So does that mean Tobey plays Rick Hunter? Who gets to play Lynn Minmei and will she sing?
Ok, let's count this off... so far "Transformers" has been adapted to live-action with "Voltron" next up for American screens. And now "Robotech". So seriously is Mobile Suit Gundam next? Or is that too cerebral for Hollywood?
