Warner Bros.’ hired Alfred Gough and Miles Millar to write Robotech an adaptation of the anime classic.Hollywood Reporter says that Robotech was a 1980s cartoon series from Harmony Gold USA and Tatsunoko Prods. It was re-edited and re-dialogued to combine three Japanese anime series to give the producers enough episodes to air as a daily syndicated series.
An expansive sci-fi epic, Robotech happens at a time when Earth has constructed giant robots based on technology from an alien spacecraft that crashed landed on a South Pacific isle. Mankind needs to use the technology to fend off an alien invasion, with the fate of the human race ending up in the hands of two young pilots.
Lawrence Kasdan (Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Body Heat) wrote a previous draft.
Warner Bros. is intent on keeping the project moving toward production with Gough and Millar bringing action and geek credits to the table. The two worked on The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor and Spider-Man 2 and were showrunners on “Smallville” for many years.
