With the likes of One Piece, One-Punch Man, and Mobile Suit: Gundam being just a few future projects that will see anime brought to life, it seems that the Robotech live-action movie has taken a big step forward in director Rhys Thomas being attached to the project, who was previously known for his work on Disney+'s Hawkeye television series. 

 

The project was originally announced in 2017, with Columbia PIcture production chief, Michael De Luca having this to say about the anime franchise via an interview with Variety:

 

"Robotech is unique in that it has always been a marriage of spectacle with human characters that seem drawn from life. That's why we are so excited to be working with Mark and Gianni as we move forward on this project. With a history that offers an epic love triangle, a renegade hero, and a world on the brink of extinction, 'Robotech' offers a wide scope and a rich and impressive universe where the story possibilities are endless."

It was must watch TV when I got home from school back in the day. I’m curious how it would translate 40 years later.
