producers well.

His comments are below:
IESB: Whats the current progress on
the Robotech script and where is that project at right now?
Chuck Roven: You know, thats not
really a project that Im involved with any more, so you need to
talk to Akiva Goldsmith or Tobey Maguire about that project.

involved with that project again?
CR: You know, I just really couldnt
tell you. Those are great guys and I wish them fantastic luck with it
and its really a great project.
