Sony will make Robotech take off

A month ago, we talked about the planned Hollywood live-action adaptation of Robotech. Hollywood Gang, a production company on the Warner Bros. lot run by Mark Canton and Gianni Nunnari had obtained the rights to the long-in-development Robotech movie and are eyeing Andy Muschietti, who directed "Mama" to develop and perhaps direct the film. Now, sources indicate that the film has moved to Sony and is now on the fast track there since they see it as a potential franchise. [hit the jump to continue]

Doug Belgrad, Michael De Luca and Matthew Milam will shepherd the Robotech movie at the studio. De Luca commented:
“Robotech is unique in that it has always been a marriage of spectacle with human characters that seem drawn from life. That’s why we are so excited to be working with Mark and Gianni as we move forward on this project.  With a history that offers an epic love triangle, a renegade hero, and a world on the brink of extinction, Robotech offers a wide scope and a rich and impressive universe where the story possibilities are endless.”
