SMALLVILLE Showrunners To Script ROBOTECH Movie!!

I am – Hercules!!
Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, who served as showrunners for the first seven seasons of “Smallville,” will write Warner Bros.’ big-screen version of the 1980s giant-robot cartoon series “RoboTech.” The Hollywood Reporter describes the premise:

A sprawling sci-fi epic, "Robotech" takes place at a time when Earth has developed giant robots from the technology on an alien spacecraft that crashed on a South Pacific isle. Mankind is forced to use the technology to fend off an alien invasion, with the fate of the human race ending up in the hands of two young pilots.

Gough and Millar’s prior big-screen credits include screenplays for “Made Men” (with Jim Belushi), “Shanghai Noon,” “Shanghai Nights,” “Showtime,” “Herbie: Fully Loaded,” and “The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor.” The duo also received “story” credits for sequels “Lethal Weapon 4” and “Spider-Man 2.” Find all of The Hollywood Reporter’s story on the matter here.
