It's been given the green-light, Voltron's going to be adapted into a live-action movie. Because, you know, there aren't enough cartoon and comic live action adaptations yet. I don't know... I have a hard time thinking that it'll do that great. It brings up how well Transformers did this summer which is prompting studios to churn out more movies like it... Transformers has a way bigger fanbase, though, and more people actually remember the show; while Voltron doesn't conjure up much nostalgia for American audiences.

Here's the article:
Read it.

I don't know, there's so many cartoon/comic to feature film transitions going on right now (and very bad turnout with a few exceptions-- V for Vendetta, Batman Begins, uhhh...?), I'm beginning to get sick of it. I'm still bitter about the casting and director for the Watchmen movie. Anyone else following that? I feel it's already doomed.

And that article also mentions another try at a Street Fighter movie? Heh, they can only dream of surpassing the 1994 masterpiece!
:P

...Voltron movie. Gah. I don't have high hopes for how that will turn out. Why oh why must filmmakers jump on the popularity train?

Although it brings back a lot of nostalgia for me.

But if Page isn't cute and annoying, and is missing his headband, it fails.

I'm for it, I mean they can't possibly make it worse than the original after all!

And it's better then them slaughtering some great story.

I am Legend anyone? I don't want them to do a bad job, but I can't see how the can't.

I don't mind if they give it a shot as long as it does not come off as another Power Rangers movie. I guess it will all come down to the script.

Hey, now we can expect a Robotech movie, too. With... Tobey Maguire... :\

Smart of Warner Bros. to get a title that has a decent-sized fanbase.
