The Bandai Visual RMs are superior to the AE remasters. However, to be fair, the AE remasters were done several years prior and the remastering techniques and software is far superior to what it used to be.</p>zinjoSun, 19 Jul 2009 04:50:13 -0000http://www.scificool.com/updates-on-live-action-robotech-and-cowboy-bebop/#comment-12902290<p>I would be surprised to see an RT movie see the light of day, but Agrama will still cash those WB checks religiously until they abandon the project entirely. The anchor to that show was Macross and with HG only having rights to the TV animation (nothing else) and a trademark on the name "Macross" they can't use Macross as a basis for the movie, hence the "re-imagining". If WB wants a winner they need to go to Japan and work with BigWest, the owners of the franchise. Then they'd have a property that's marketable and if treated with the same respect as the Bebop producers, they'll see a nice return on their investment.</p><p>I am glad to see Bebop getting the respect it deserves and by virtue of that respect I expect the film to do very well. The only thing it might be missing would be some Whedon splashes of humor to bring out the fun aspect the series had. For me Reeves is a good fit for Spike, neither speak much and well that's playing to Keanu's strengths. The hard casting is going to be for Faye and Ed (however, I suspect that Dakota Fanning could pull off ED very well, just a hunch)...</p>zinjoSun, 19 Jul 2009 04:41:18 -0000
