Voltron Film Update

It appears as though the Voltron feature film is back on the cards but this time with a lesser budget that previously thought. Of course that could be the doom of the project or the boon as you can do some pretty amazing things these days without the big James Cameron bucks.

To quote Movieweb, "Producers expect to attach a director within the next week.

Last summer, New Regency picked up the rights to the property, adapted by scribe Justin Marks.

Marks' take is described as a post-apocalyptic tale set in New York City and Mexico, where five survivors of an alien attack 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."

WTF? Voltron in Mexico? That's as bad as Godzilla in NYC... Surely the American kids who watched Voltron in the 80s are mature enough to accept a storyline that's NOT based in the USA.
