Quote After slipping on a mask for Spider-Man, Tobey Maguire might be slipping into a giant robot for "Robotech."
After a lengthy negotiation, Warner Bros. Pictures has picked up the rights to bring anime classic "Robotech," which featured giant robots known as mechas, to the big screen. Maguire is producing through his Maguire Entertainment banner and is eyeing the lead role in what the studio plans on being a tentpole sci-fi franchise.
Have the original theme and I'm there . . .

Oh wow, that'd be exciting...
Just as long as they stick to the original robotech though. I hate everything else Macross.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Maguire does seem like a good fit for Rick, though.
I wonder if they'll redo everyone's favorite episode, Phantasm, for the film.

I hope it's superb, since Robotech was the first anime I ever watched, but I doubt it'll get past mediocre.

Odds of being good: 0% Odds of sucking eggs: 70%
Stop Hollywood. I'm serious, Transformers was stupid. Don't eff up Robotech too!
