With the success of Transformers, it’s no surprise that a handful of “giant robot” properties from the 80s are getting snatched up to be adapted for the big screen. Now Warner Bros. has picked up the rights to the anime series Robotech, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The studio is joining with Tobey Maguire’s production company, Maguire Entertainment, to develop the film, with the star of the Spider-Man franchise looking to play the lead.

“We are very excited to bring ‘Robotech’ to the big screen,” Maguire said. “There is a rich mythology that will be a great foundation for a sophisticated, smart and entertaining film.”
