Actor Leonardo DiCaprio to Work on Live-Action Robotech Movie


Latino Review reported that actor Leonardo DiCaprio was offered a role in Star Wars VII only to refuse it to focus on the live-action adaptation of Robotech. The said sci-fi series is an adaptation of 3 different mecha anime titles.

Robotech is an anime adaptation produced by Harmony Gold and uses the footage from three mecha anime titles, namely: The Super Dimension Fortress Macross, Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross and Genesis Climber MOSPEADA.

This combination resulted in a storyline that spans three generations, as mankind must fight three destructive Robotech Wars in succession with various invading forces, each of which is motivated in one way or another by a desire for a powerful energy source called "protoculture."

The live-action movie project has been in development by Warner Brothers since 2007 are Akiva Goldsman, Tobey Maguire, Matthew Plouffe, Joby Harold and Tory Tunnell producing the movie with Nic Mathieu attached to direct the movie.
