The Macross Saga Goes Live
Robotech is going live-action and now has a director to bring the anime to the big screen. Nic Mathieu will direct the feature for Warner Bros, which they hope is the start of a franchise. Part of the mecha boom of the 80s from Japan, with three seasons of TV plus multiple movies, there is plenty of material to mine for multiple films. Mathieu has no feature directing credits, with his notables instead being commercials. Interestingly, this is the second commercial director attached to a major - and beloved - franchise. Earlier this month, Dan Trachtenberg was handed the reins to Y: The Last Man.
