Leonardo DiCaprio Interested in Robotech Movie?  Gatsby co-star
Tobey Maguire to produce feature based on anime.  Rumor has it
that Leonardo DiCaprio has been approached about starring in
Warner Bros. long-gestating Robotech movie.  What lends some
credence to the rumor is that DiCaprio is old pals with Tobey
Maguire, who is producing the Robotech movie and starred
opposite Leo in The Great Gatsby.  Latino-Review claims Leo
"wants to do" Robotech enough that he turned down a role in Star
Wars: Episode VII to pursue it. Nick Mathieu was hired earlier
this year to direct Robotech.  Robotech is based on the popular
1980s anime series. "Robotechnology" refers to the scientific
advances discovered in an alien spacecraft that crashed on a
South Pacific island. Using this technology, Earth constructs
huge transformable mechs to battle three successive alien
invasions.  blog comments powered by Disqus Become a fan of IGN
