Welcome back to Rachael Leigh Cook Online! This website has been “returning soon” for too long and I finally have had time to code up a proper layout and re-add the photo gallery. I am still working on the site content, and will be posting here when I complete sections of the website.

Rachael, who got her start modeling at an early age, knows that there’s nothing glamorous about fur. During her photo shoot for PETA’s “Save the Seals” ad series, Rachael

If Robot Chicken, Star Wars, Voltron and Power Rangers were all cut up into tiny little pieces then glued back together with love, satire and perhaps a little glitter, you might end up with the new sci-fi comedy show Titan Maximum — debuting on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim on Sept. 27, 2009.

Created by Robot Chicken producer/co-head writer/director Tom Root and Robot Chicken executive producer/co-creator/writer/director Matthew Senreich, Titan Maximum uses stop-motion animation to bring an ’80s-inspired action cartoon to life.

Set 100 years in the future, Saturn’s moon Titan is defended by Titan Force Five, an elite squadron of young, brash pilots whose spaceships combine to form the giant robot Titan Maximum. As the series opens, the team has been disbanded due to budget cuts, but must hastily reassemble when a former team member turns rogue and tries to conquer the solar system with an assault of giant monsters. Now, the fate of humanity rests in the hands of a team of dysfunctional misfits commanding a rustbucket robot.

StarWars.com talks with the show co-creators and writers Matt Senreich and Tom Root, as well as the executive producer and cast member Seth Green, and the rest of the cast Breckin Meyer, Rachael Leigh Cook, Dan Milano and Eden Espinosa.

What was the genesis of the show?

Matt Senreich: This is one of those concepts we’d be thinking about for way too long, not thinking it could ever be a reality. So in casual conversation we pitched it to Adult Swim and they said, “That sounds like fun.”

Tom Root: Just joking around we drew what our team would look like on the dry erase board here in the writers’ room and Keith Crawford from Adult Swim came in one day and he liked it.

You realize you’re implying that it’s really easy to pitch a show to Adult Swim, right?

Tom: But then came the hard part.

Matt: As in the 30-page show bible! But we initially interested them with our nice drawing and a lot of made up mythology.

What kinds of sci-fi movies and shows have influenced you as your were creating Titan Maximum?

Matt: We’re big fans and geeks of all the ’80s cartoons like Battle of the Planets and Voltron, and we just wanted to create something in that vein where the world’s most-trusted, elite fighting force is a bunch of stupid teenagers.

Tom: We grew up not only loving robots, but also all kinds of outer space shows with spaceships and battles. We talked a lot about the new Battlestar Galactica and how it got us excited about space and robots again.

Eden Espinosa: I’m a fan of Galactica too.

Seth Green: I was a big fan of Robotech.

Matt: We also had to one-up Clone Wars director Dave Filoni and integrate some CG into our stop-motion world a little bit. So we throw it back in Filoni’s court, and let’s just see if he can put some stop-motion into The Clone Wars now!
