Comic con is still going strong in sunny San Diego with this year having an even larger presence by movie studios looking to promote their products to the masses. Voltron is a familiar property to a lot of us, and it is getting yet another announcement at the show of plans to develop a live action film based on the popular cartoon.

Tooley said, “For nearly three decades, Voltron™ has captured the minds of a nostalgically loyal and rabid fan base and has long been considered a hotly-pursued project. We are beyond excited World Event Productions and Atlas Entertainment have placed their trust and faith in Relativity to bring this coveted property to the big screen, and usher in a new generation of devoted fans.” Tooley added, “With Chuck and Richard’s experience producing tentpoles, they are the perfect producers to bring this potential franchise to theaters.”
Roven, co-founder, Atlas Entertainment said, “It’s incredibly gratifying to officially announce the development of the live-action Voltron™ movie this week, given its recent resurgence and the start of Comic-Con.”
Suckle, producer, Atlas Entertainment added, “I know there’s been a lot of rumors and speculation about this movie, so it’s great to finally confirm to all the Voltron™ fans everywhere that we’re coming for them.”
Am I excited? Hell no! I can’t invest in this film emotionally anymore! Do you have any idea of how many times movie studios have played with my nostalgic emotions about adapting Voltron into a live action feature?! It’s too much. I can’t do it this time. If they want my excitement then they’ll start producing some evidence because as it stands this is just more lip service. Moving on…
Hehe Voltron showing my age here but ive still got the complete Voltron set in great condition, plse make this movie i could retire lol, was as cool as Transformers so should work
I’m totally with you on this one Anthony. They’ve been saying a Voltron movie it coming for years now. There’s even some sweet concept art out there and I also think I remember them saying they were gonna release the Voltron movie in the same summer as the first Transformers movie. Which of coarse, never happened.
I’ll believe it when I see it.
Hire Michael Bay to direct this….
At least we can dream! But I just hope its really well done. Otherwise, better leave it be.
