ROBOTECH Movie Moves From Warner Bros. To Sony Pictures
Are we in a new era of live-action mecha movies? The long-languishing Robotech movie has moved studios from Warner Bros. to Sony Pictures and is reportedly being fast tracked.
Variety has reported that the live-action Robotech movie has shifted gears and is now housed at Sony Pictures. Previously in development at Warner Bros. and rumored to have such household names as Leonardo DiCaprio and Toby Maguire attached at one point or another, the film suprinsingly never gained much traction at WB. Now, Sony has acquired the rights and is moving the project forward with a script from Michael Gordon (300, GI Joe). According to the film's producers, Sony had an eye on the project for quite some time and jumped when they became available. Gianni Nunnari and Mark Canton are serving as executive producers with Sony exuctives Doug Belgrad, Michael De Luca and Matthew Milam shephereding the project which has been fast tracked.
