Voltron is Coming

[dirtymonkey22]

Atlas Entertainment's Charles Roven, Richard Suckle and Steve Alexander are developing a big screen version of Voltron, says the Risky Biz Blog.

The producers behind Get Smart and The International (Roven also produced The Dark Knight) have acquired the rights to make a live-action feature based on the robot-lion property, pushing the project forward after several years in development with the Mark Gordon Company.

Roven and his partners acquired rights to the Japanese title from World Events Productions, a St. Louis-based company that has held those rights for more than two decades. Wanted producer Jason Netter of Kickstart Entertainment and World Events' Ted Koplar are joining the Atlas trio in producing.

"Voltron" was a television hit in the 1980's and featured a band of five robot-lions who combined to form one super lion. A group of five pilots control the lions, which are charged with defending the planet Arus from villain King Zarkon, who dispatches evil creatures called Robobeats to fight the Voltron robots.

like dragon ball u would think with something liike dragonball they could make a awsome live action movie but no they have to be cartoonish in a real world setting i think thats why the first mortal kombat was good they didnt need to add fire balls and shit they just fought and had a little magic they didnt go overboard
