It seems like every few months this movie has a new writer, you would think it wouldn't be all that hard to adapt a story like Robotech. In fact Macross already had a movie version that some people would even say is superior to the original.

But as for the new writer he seems to be a good writer, but can he pull off science fiction.

Why is this news?

Seriously, it's Harmony Gold. They're like the 3D Realms (http://duke.a-13.net/) of anime, and deserve to be taken just as seriously (i.e. not at all).

Not quite accurate, since Shadow Chronicles was ultimately released, and was actually good, IMO.

And speaking of which .... I for one have been wondering just when the Shadow Chronicles sequel is supposed to be released.

I really enjoyed the Shadow Chronicles story and was looking forward to a new sequel after all these years and then .... nothing :cry:.

I'm much more interested in a new animated sequel than the live-action movie.

Not saying that the movie wouldn't be good (which I do doubt just because of the transition from animation to live-action) it's just that I would have preferred them to concentrate on the animated story first since it was here first.

I guess I'm going to have to wait another ... what ... 20 years or so again? :(

Last I heard, Funi and HG were very pleased with the numbers that the movie sold, and a second animated film was in the planning stages.

Where did you hear that they wanted to do a series?

Yes, HG was planning a 2nd movie: Shadow Rising but apparently the live action movie has the animated project on hiatus.
