Thank you.

All I can say is that I am giddy w/anticipation. I
don’t own the entire series on DVD for nothing!

Umm…no offense.

Rick Hunter – Zac Efron (for the love of god NOT TOBEY MAGURIE)

Roy Fokker – NOT OWEN WILSON. We dont want a gay Roy Fokker. He is too goofy of an actor to portray someone as awesone and as hardcore as Roy. If you dont like this is our opinion so get bent. Anyways in our opinion, Jonathan Frakes. Think about it…

Lisa Hayes – Amanda Tapping. Look, she has already kicked a lot of alien ass. so she has the experience. And if we cant get her, Denise Crosby. She comment about Amanda for refrence.

Lynn Minmei – Kristin Kreuk. We agree with all other statements.

Claudia Grant – Zoe Saldana. Yessssssss….

Captain Gloval – Sam Neill. We agree with all statements above

I watched Robotech when it was originally aired and read all the books in 1984/1985, so I know a good deal about it.

Rick Hunter was an American. In fact, from the clues of the tv show, he was an American, Catholic, Caucasian/White, blue eyes, black hair. The only guy I think could have pulled the looks off was John Stamos…Back in the 1980’s He had the looks, the HAIR! OMG…crazy hair, but he wasn’t a good acting choice.

Lisa Hayes, Caucasian/White, blue eyes, dirty blond hair. Natalie Portman…Ew…I mean, seriously. The only woman that truly looked like her was Helen Hunt. She has the eyes, hair, and can be gentle, but a spit fire as well. Too Bad she’s too old now to play the part.

MinMei was not Japanese…well not totally. She was Half Chinese and Half Japanese. When Rick flew her off of the SDF-1 in the Pacific, in the flyer she had won in the Miss Macross contest, they went to see her parents in China. Also, the resteraunt was Chinese, not Japanese.

I don’t think any actors in this movie should be Asian except MinMei and her cousin, Lynn Kyle. Odd Name…Kyle..being Chinese and all. Anyway, the Captain Gloval was Russian Captain, Ben was Canadian, from Ontario, and the rest of the main cast were either American or Aliens from space.

Now from the last post I saw I don’t agree with some of the choices:

Rick – Toby (he does the innocence thing really well)

Lisa – Reese Witherspoon – OMG Nooo! She’s Lisa Hayes as much as my cat.
Minmei – Kristin Kreuk (Yes, Perfect, beautiful and coy, except Clark Kent may hurt Rick.

Roy – Nathan Fillion (What? OMG…Noo! Val Kilmer maybe.

Claudia – Gina Torres…Gina? She’s half black/Half Spanish…and well
she looks it. I mean she’s hot, but definately not Claudia. There are many black actresses that are hot that could pull it off though.
Max – Johnny Depp…Seriously? Max, the shy, humble…but I’ll kill you in combat and pretend it was close to make you feel better? Nooo.

Ben – Alan Tudyk…Come on? Big Teddy Bear Loveable Ben? Alan is way too small and not even beleivable in the part.
Capt Gloval – Sam Neill (Watch Hunt for Red October if you doubt this)

I agree with this one totally.

Miriya – Gisele Bündchen (need someone unearthly beautiful for this)
Ok, she’s pretty, but not right. Now..Megan Fox is well, a “fox” Plus she would look good in Green hair…well, any color. She has the correct features and can be a Biotch and Kind…like in “Drama of a TeenAge Drama Queen” and then kind as in Transformers. She’s a much better choice.

Breetai – Clive Owen (Who cares) Any giant oaf that has a corncobb up his bottom could do the 1 dimensional Breetai.

Exedor – I’m drawing a blank on this one (I don’t know…What about the Guy from Lord of the Rings who played Golem/Smeagal) He’s just a Toad Monster.

Khyron – David Thewlis (O.k. Now that is a sniveling enemy…but try Luke Goss, the Bad Elf from Hell Boy 2…He’s got menace and the moves.

Toby is a poor choice for Rick, but hey…he’s doing the movie so I guess he gets to call the shots.
