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.

Arrested Development Film Under Construction

I loved Arrested Development. It was the funniest thing on TV at the time and was a rare thing, a comedy that makes me laugh out loud. The majority of comedies tend to make me smile and go "heh" (if they're funny at all) but to get me to burst out laughing with tears in my eyes is a major feat indeed.

So I was quite stoked to read that the rumoured Arrested Development film is becoming less rumour and more fact. Check out the update on tv.com.
