Casting Call for Robotech: The Macross Saga
	Posted: February 2002 Based on the classic anime sensation "Super Dimensional Fortress Macross" (1982) Story: In the year 1999, a mysterious ship crashes on Macross Island. The advanced technology on board ship proved to the world that intelligent life existed out in the universe. The governments of the world begin the form a new United Nations, and set out to repair the battleship. The reason behind this decision is simple. The U.N. is certain that the previous owners will come looking for it. Now, it is 10 years later. Global War is over. After the years of hard work the reconstruction of the ship, now called the SDF-1, is ready for takeoff. During the opening ceremonies, Captain Henry J. Gloval is alerted to the arrival of a large space fleet in orbit around the Moon. It appears that the Zentradi have arrive to reclaim their ship. Soon after their arrival, they bombard Macross Island from space, and destroy the U.N. space fleet. Rick Hunter, an young circus pilot, is attending the ceremony at the request of his friend, Roy Fokker. Roy is the leader of the Veritech Skull Squadron, the primary fighter squadron assigned to the SDF-1. While showing Rick the insides of the new fighter, the Zentraedi attack begins. Accidentally pressed into service by the attack, Rick flies into battle and makes three startling discoveries. He learns that the Zentraedi are giant humanoids, the Veritech can transform into a robot, and the biggest discovery of all, Lynn Minmei, a Chinese girl who works at her aunt's restaurant. Now, Rick is caught up in a war that threatens to destroy all life on Earth. Will he survive the Zentraedi onslaught, and be able to hook up with Minmei? Who would you cast to play these characters?
