// inserts inappropriate 'Minmay Maneuver' comment here for Killer's edification

...I'll stick with Macross myself, tho one of these days, tho I'll have to check
out the original Mospedia and Southern Cross. Tobey Macguire... now who
does he most resemble? I think at this point and with 3 Spiderman's under
his belt, young Rick Hunter's alittle too out of his league.

HOLY COW, I can't believe it! After so many hoaxes somebody is actually thinking of making a movie like this? Hmmm... it's not likely to be decent, too; but I'll treasure that 1% chance it'll be a masterpiece

BTW; while looking for some more info, I stumbled on many websites saying there'd be a new Macross TV series! Airing October 2007!? too bad I couldn't find anything official about it, and October is so damn near...

I don't know if I heard about that, but I did hear that Funimation was dubbing a new looking macross movie(I think?). Dunno if that's related.

Sounds like they intend to animate "Robotech Sentinels:Full Circle", at least thats what the script sounds like.

No way! This I have to see. With my kids, no less. Macguire as Rick Hunter? Who's gonna play Roy Fokker? And Minmei? Any guesses?

across - The new songstress is the (equivalent of Grade 12) 3rd year Senior High student, Nakajima Megumi

At the Macross 25th Anniversary Live "Minmay meets Fire Bomber", held on the 18th (Saturday) at the Nippon Seinenkan (Japan Youth Hall), it was announced that Nakajima Megumi (pronunciation provided) will take on the role of the new songtress "Lanka Li" in the planned "Macross F (tentative)".

Miss Nakajima is a 3rd year Senior High student born in the Heisei era and she commented that at the time the announcement was made regarding her being selected for the role, "My manager was speaking softly on the phone, at first I thought I didn't make it. For a week, I couldn't believe it." At the same time, serving as the venue for announcing the "New Macross" songstress chosen from 5000 candidates in the large scale audition, the hall welcomed her with cheers. As the songs for the new program have yet to be written, Miss Nakajima sang the "Macross Plus" theme song, "Voices" (Original singer: Arai Akino) before the sold out hall, and calmly showed a glimpse of her talent.

"Macross F (tentative)" is set in around 2070A.D.. F denotes "Frontier"; "Frontier" stands for the migration fleet which is the setting of the story. The story is about the fleet's encounters with space monsters (or things to that effect) while on its course.
