Despite many failed attempts at bringing the 80s cartoon series to the big screen in the past, Sony has announced that they are developing the first film in a Robotech franchise. Michael Gordon (300, G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra) is writing the script.
“Robotech is unique in that it has always been a marriage of spectacle with human characters that seem drawn from life,” Columbia Pictures production head Michael De Luca said in a statement. “With a history that offers an epic love triangle, a renegade hero, and a world on the brink of extinction.”
