Voltron the movie?

[ZeroRyoko1974]

Variety reports (http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117970000.html?categoryid=13&cs=1) that New Regency, a 20th Century Fox-based production company, is nearing a deal with the Mark Gordon Co. on a live-action adaptation of the Voltron animated television series. Voltron was the 1984-1985 American adaptation of the King of Beasts Golion and Armored Fleet Dairugger XV robot anime series. Justin Marks wrote a script which resets the Golion-based Lion Voltron story in post-apocalyptic New York City and Mexico after an alien invasion. Mark Gordon, Lawrence Inglee, and Jordan Wynn will produce if the film is greenlit. Marks is also adapting He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, Green Arrow, and Street Fighter.
why must they do this..... So we have upcoming Alvin and the Chipmunks, Speed Racer, Spy Hunter, etc. Whats left? Scooby Doo, Josie and the Pussycats, Fat Albert, Transformers, Little Rascals and countless others have already been done. Maybe Gigantor the movie, or HR Puffenstuff. I know, we need Braveheart or Thundarr the movie.

Hong Kong Fooey (sp?), since Alvin & The Chipmunks and Underdog were already made. I mean, what else is perfect for a ruinous adaptation?

I'd honestly see a Voltron movie, though. Voltron, adaptation/mangling or no, is still giant robots beating stuff up, and we don't get enough of that in American culture.

Live action? That would look so bad. Power Rangers incarnate, basically, unless they make it like the Transformers movie. That, I'd pay money to see.

I would see this movie.

I think this movie is too Sentai-ish.

this crap makes me mad. Hollywood is disecting my childhood one thing at a time.

sometimes Hollywood will go obscure and look in odd places. if they ever look at one particular series that i like (nobody really knows about it today, its old), ITS ON!!!!!!!:mad: :$%&#!: :ssj:

[ElDusto]

Now we just need GI-Joe the live-action movie and we're set.:lol:

too late, its done. theres a thread about it in the Other section. its probably on the second page by now.

if i knew another language and if this got to the point that i throw up upon seeing news about something, i would soooo get out of this country. sadly i only know English.
