Tonight seems to be full of WTF sorts of movie news.

There is a Street Fighter remake coming. Because we needed that. Lost Boys 2 is direct to video. Blah, blah, blah...

BUT!!!

Warner Bros. Pictures has picked up the rights to bring anime classic "Robotech," which featured giant robots known as mechas, to the big screen. "Spider-Man" franchise star Tobey Maguire is producing through his Maguire Entertainment and is eyeing the lead role in what the studio plans on being a tentpole sci-fi franchise.

I'm just all... a flutter. VERITECHS! I... Damn it. Min Mei but... Also Lisa!

Wait. Wait. WHAT?

I'm all confused and don't know how to feel and stuff!

Imagine a live action lisa punching Min Mei in the face. That totally helped me.

That thought is making my inner eleven-year-old very, very happy.

See?

It makes it all better.

As a friend of mine said to me last night, "Does Lisa Hayes have to smack a bitch?" And the answer is yes. Yes, she does.

I'm assuming they are taking it liveaction ala Transformers. Yes-no? Could go well or could suck bigger than Matthew Brodrick-Godzilla remake.

Yeah. Live action.

I could go for a Street Fighter remake. I've seen the Van Damme movie. I still bear the scars.

So do I, my friend. So do I. I would have just left it dead, though.

Maguire as Rick Hunter? I approve!

It's too bad Tom Cruise isn't fifteen years younger, though, he'd have been perfect.

OMG.

But... but... a movie? I would be so much happier with a TV show. The story is longer than two hours can possibly encapsulate; maybe they could just limit it to the first 13 episodes, which takes them from the initial Zentraedi attack to Earth.

A trilogy would be great; the Zentraedi armada blowing the shut out of Earth as part 2 and the Khyron plotline as part 3.

I never really got into Macross as a franchise but a successful giant robot movie brings us one step closer to a competent Mechwarrior film...

It better be damn good, but who's gonna be Rick's 'Brother'? not that anyone would willingly want a role of a char that died so early. Course who's going to be as nerdy looking as Maxwell but still look good enough for a hot alien babe to woo?
