Major:
Well, those movies at least.

Robotech (dat name) + Hollywood = No.
Robotech + James Wan = Hell yes! Macross Plus is my favorite OVA so go and watch that. The japanese dub is the way to go of course but they got Heisenberg to voice the lead in the american dub. Lol. |

Well, at least there won't be no white-washing.
Good luck on them. Sony is a big dog, even in Japan.......... especially in Japan.
And good luck on them too, bully big dog Sony if they try to do that. They need Sony more than Sony needs them. |

With Harmony Gold, it's debatable if this thing will actually get made.

Harmony Gold's role in all this is to cash the big check that Sony sent them. |

I think the Harmony Gold haters believe if they keep using HG's name over and over the movie will not be made. But it is a Sony movie. Sony has the cards. Sony may plow the fields ahead of the movie to smooth things over, Sony may juggernaut through the IP issues (they are not going to be sued by Japan, no matter who says so), or Sony will just make a generic space movie using the Robotech name on it (and that will be a marketing decision). |

It's going to be Shadow Chronicles 2: MORE Made-Up Crap! From James "Franchises R Us" Wan, the director of Saw, Insidious and the Conjuring, now hired on Universal's "pet" F&F franchise because of his expertise in stringing other movie franchises into never-ending corporate brandnames! (Case in point, Warner/DC's reportedly looking at him for an Aquaman movie, just in case we suddenly don't hate that depressingly wrong Bat-vs.-Super thing.) |

Jeez, Edge of Tomorrow does good and all of a sudden everybody wants to do anime adaptions.

Tempest: Edge of Tomorrow's not based on an anime.

Which completely defeats the purpose of buying the Robotech name. |

(In other words, he's now officially become the Penelope Spheeris of our generation.)
They were only buying what Harmony Gold was selling. |

I'm pretty sure this will have an original story with original concepts, with maybe a nod at best to the original anime. Though like others have said, that may not necessarily be a bad thing.
Even still, this is also Sony we're talking about. They're now by far the biggest company in the Macross/Robotech game.
They did Ranma 1/2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3U8SKJwMNA8 They also did Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball Z, but those are arguably just as mainstream as Voltron (if not more). Last edited by PurpleWarrior13 on Thu Apr 30, 2015 12:16 pm; edited 2 times in total |

Purple:
Actually, Warner was the biggest company. Sony's a freaking joke at this point. |

Or, more accurately, whatever HG owned and invented for the Macross-arc Robotech dub. (Like in the opening of Shadow Chronicles, where one of the two new-generation pilots annoys the other during maneuvers by humming old Lynn Minmay hits. Yes, Minmay with an A-Y, ie. he only references the only two English songs she ever sang on the dub series.) |
