Seems to be several American live action Anime adaptations in the works currently and being released (Blood The Last Vampire for example). Cowboy Bebop (rumored Keanu Reeves starring), Neon Genesis Evangelion (rumored Peter Jackson directing), Battle Angel (James Cameron directing) and.....
Robotech. Yup. Robotech.
Toby Maguire (of Spider-Man and Kirsten Dunst sexin' fame) has attained the rights for the franchise (as of 2008 I believe) in hopes to film a trilogy (again rumored) of live action films. It's an easy guess that Toby envisions himself as Skull 1 pilot Rick Hunter but then again maybe not.
If they follow the original anime at all, the lead characters begin the story in their mid to late teens. Fans like myelf are wondering out loud about who would be the best actors to play Rick, Lisa and Minmay (goddamnit, she better be Japanese! maybe Ayase Haruka of Cyborg She fame). To be honest, I'm not so sure who I would pick.
To wet your apetite, here are a couple nice fake trailers that fans have made.
