Today I have the good fortune of bringing you the news we’ve all been waiting for: the Voltron movie is back on.
Relativity Media is in negotiations to back the property, though on a more moderate budget, utilizing the type of cost-effective technology employed in films including "300."
He-Man scribe Justin Marks penned the screenplay which is being described as “a post-apocalyptic tale set in New York City and Mexico” which follows “five ragtag survivors of an alien attack [who] band together and end up piloting the five lion-shaped robots that combine and form the massive sword-wielding Voltron that helps battle Earth’s invaders.” Marks is also working on the Green Arrow prison break film SuperMax and a new Street Fighter spin-off. LatinoReview called the script “a fucking masterpiece” and CinemaBlend called it “a well put together, well intentioned, incredibly faithful Voltron script using modern sensibilities.” [/Film]
It’s a relief to hear that the adaptation will be faithful to the original. I mean, at its heart, this is a simple story about alien-fighting cat-shaped robots who combine into a gigantic samurai. Taking creative liberties with a story like that would just be fucking absurd.

*THE MIGHTY FEK’LHR FORMS BLAZING SWORD!**commits seppuku*
If Jonah Hill isn’t the dumpy kid in this, it’ll be that much better.
LatinoReview loved the script so much they hung it from their rearview mirror.
Looks like gay Welsh/Mexican/American Toyota Avanza in space. This will be awesome! Voltron is very close to the anagram for "no art to love." Coincidence?
Those robots look like a bunch of pussies
The thought of this movie makes me sick a little in my mouth.
Heath Ledger can play Sven!*chuckles at His own little inside joke* GOOGLE IT, YINTAGHS!
Maggie Gyllenhaal will be portraying the Robobeast (to save on CGI).
I heard the final scene shows Sigfreid sitting bedside as Roy plays with a snowglobe.
The promotional poster will be a picture of the Voltron Lions each in a giant coffee cup with only their heads poking out. On the cups, "Is" "it" "Friday" "yet" "?" will be printed.
Sven is at the "hospital", I am sure he will be fine!HE’S FUCKING FINE!
"Every Day is Humpday!""Lefties Do It Right""The Prudential: I Got Your Rock Right Here. Come Get A Piece…"
LatinoReview loved the script so much they made a tanktop out of it.
I finally understand Voltron’s gawdy hood ornament.
LatinoReview loved the script so much they airbrushed it on the hood of their car.
LatinoReview loved the script so much they had it tattooed across their abs.
When Voltron is in Mexico, his sword turns into a shank.
You can fit hundreds of Mexicans in that giant fucking robot.
They should get Dakota Fanning to play Pidge. She’s got the perfect blend of youth and make-you-want-to-punch-her-in-her-smug-fucking-face annoyingness that the character really calls for.
George Lucas thinks one of the lions should be redesigned to look like a Chinese New Year puppet and be piloted by a laundramat owner named Tse Cheese.
Is that chick that played Brumhilde in Robin Hood: Men in Tights still alive? So many casting decisions, such little chance this movie won’t suck.
Voltron’s roar will be a horn that plays La Cucaracha.
Voltron can’t NOT do jazz hands.
So I’ve never really seen Voltron, It doesn’t exactly appeal to me any more but what’s the deal with the giant robot? Where do they get the lion robots from and how do they work out they can form a massive robot. this seems to have a lot of plot holes.
They’ll be fine as long as they can find a guy that can keep from smirking when he says "And I’ll form the head!"
Voltron was the original blackface.
Voltron was the original Power Rangers until the Power Rangers fagged up the place.
If they’re going for the 300 look, that robot will have some killer abs.
I always liked Ultraman better.
Push comes to shove, I’ll take a well made G-Force film over Voltron.
So, if they’re going for "modern sensibilities" we can go ahead and assume that Princess Aurora won’t be riding the Blue Lion sidesaddle and getting backhanded for not having dinner ready on time?
I couldn’t afford Voltron as a kid so I had to settle for my Tinker Toy version, Anorexo.
New up!*looks around for that lazy fuck "Guy who says New Up"*
Too bad, I wanted to see the animated remake with Common, Fat Joe & Mack 10 obeyin’ they thirst wit Sprite, aiight?
Spike Lee is pissed because none of the lions are black panthers.
