Just do not change the music and innocent dialog. Upgrading is nice, but familiarity and G-rated access is better for this project. Who needs blue humor when you have aliens and reverse-engineered robotic technology. Granted, much info is hard to place in a live-action rendition, so newcomers can understand and enjoy. I say, make them watch Robotech, the original, and deal with it! LOL!

There comes a time when egos need to be left at the door more than ever. My fairly narrow view on who needs to be cast in what role doesn't need to be spelled out here. Everyone associated with the characters of the original series has their own ideas on who best would fill these roles. The one common comment I do hear is that Toby Maguire is NOT the right person to fit into any of the leading characters.
My son (age 31) and I have many discussions about this subject. We both arose early Saturday mornings just to watch this series. Granted, japanese animation was something new to the general american population but the story lines were above and beyond anything available to the aforementioned.
It is amazing to me just how much information and originality my son brings to this discussion and I would hope the producers and writers would search out those types of people to seriously use that information and imagination when molding this project.
To do the opposite and ignore such important input will DESTROY this genre all for the inability to release ones ego. (You can see what that does to a story in the latest Transformers movie).

Seriously, please do not screw this one up. Robotech Macross saga has everything you need to make a good movie – okay more like 10 good movies. Roy, Max, Rick, Lisa, Cladia, Miriya, Gloval, Breetai – just to name a few, are so well loved and defined characters. You even love the bad guys in this! Throw in some ars kicking robots and how could things get any better. Hell the story arch is even there. You just need some good directing and script writers to make some updates to the cinemataography and dialogues.
