James Wan Sought For “RoboTech”

Sony Pictures is supposedly pursuing filmmaker James Wan for a live-action feature adaptation of the Robotech franchise.  I’m guessing they liked what they saw with Furious 7, ironically so outrageous that it could possibly fall within the same genre.

Based on the popular 1980s series of the same name, Robotech will deal with society’s use of robot technology to fend off an alien invasion.

Negotiations are underway with Wan following Sony’s acquisition of the property a month ago. Gianni Nunnari and Mark Canton are slated to produce while Michael Gordon, of 300 fame, will pen the script.

Wan’s immediate next project will be the sequel to his supernatural horror hit The Conjuring.
