A ROBOTECH movie is coming... with everyone's friendly neighborhood wall-crawler at the controls!!!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Yep, a ROBOTECH flick is finally moving and it looks like you're going to be seeing Tobey Maguire manning a giant robot on the big screen.
Warner Bros is doing the flick and Maguire is producing via his Maguire Entertainment banner. Craig Zahler is writing the script.
Nothing's set in stone yet, but Maguire seems to want to play the lead. I can't pretend to know much about ROBOTECH... I never got into it, but my good friend Kraken is a huge ROBOTECH nerd and says that Maguire is totally wrong for the lead... He totally Yoda'd it. "He's too old!"
What do you folks think?
