Voltron movie
I was a huge fan of the cartoon and the toys. I think this could be a great movie if they don't Michael Bay it (or Power Ranger it) and give it more of a Start Trek (new one) feel. With the effects today this could be amazing, but these early drawings do not give me much hope.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Lets face it. After the 'Fallen' got their 'Revenge' on us last summer by duping us into spending our hard-earned coin on a lackluster TRANSFORMERS sequel, it quickly became apparent that Optimus and Co. were already starting to gather a bit of rust. But for those anxiously awaiting an heir apparent to breathe fresh life into the massive-metal-monster genre, it looks like the oft-rumored VOLTRON movie may finally be gaining some traction.
It appears that Atlas Entertainment has taken the reins on the project and is gearing up a pretty impressive pitch. Apparently, they've hired the currently hot screenwriting tag-team of Thomas Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer. The names may not sound familiar to you, but they might soon. The duo wrote the upcoming CONAN flick, and are currently scribing the DR. STRANGE and UNCHARTED: DRAKE'S FORTUNE adaptations.</div>

i was a huge fan of the series and was wondering when they would come around to it. i was hoping sooner than later. i have no hope since none of the comic remakes are ever good.

The cartoon toys of the 80's looked very similar to the cartoons. Now, they make the CGI waaaaay too complicated to be duplicated by a Chinese plastic forming machine. As a result, the toys never look like the cartoons any more. Kinda ruins the new movies for me.

it's also stupid because from these teasers, it takes place in "current New York city." Voltron took place in some distant alien galaxy. its not fair how they're screwing everything up. the new Mortal Kombat is just like that too. what good is it when everything takes place here? it just takes the creativity out of it.
