Japanese cult hit Voltron heads to big screen

Next thing we know they'll just grab a 7 year old, rummage through his toybox, and make a movie out of whatever toys they find. It'll be something along the lines of Catwoman and Luke skywalker vs the Deceptacons or giant Cyclops and spiderman fight dracula, Boba Fett, Lego Pirates, and Godzilla. Coming soon to a theater near you! Man is it sad to watch creativity die. Can we stimulate the Movie industry so i don't have to watch this crap anymore?

I heard rumors a long time ago that Pharrell was to do the soundtrack. Is there any truth to this?

SWEEEEEEET!!!! Can't wait! =D

If this was done in the same style as Speed Racer, I might check it out. Don't get me wrong though, I have zero hope for this project.

I don't think producing Get Smart or The International lends any cred. I basically watched the International for the Guggenheim fight, and Get Smart is an entertaining, but not really great comedy. So... how do those translate into a movie about lion-tank-things that become a giant robot?

damnit they've been doing this for years and screwing it all up royally just to make a buck. look what happened to DBZ!

Oh god no. Why why why. This hall be shyte. Why won't those ppl leave classics alone.

It can't be any worse than Dragonball:Evolution... right?

...right?! OH GOD PLEASE NO.

Really though, I am super excited.

was a fan, still a fan, but i know they are gonna F*** it up any way... it was/is inevitable,.... hollywood is running out of ideas,... and they know just like how people rushed to see transformers,... history will most likely repeat itself,.... boooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ,...

bad idea

Do they really have to make a movie out of Voltron? It's gonna Sucks especially if the CGi is as bad as the Transformers. What I mean is that it looks like a bunch of metal shards put together instead of the blocky robots we were used to. EHHHH!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Awesome. I tried watching the anime months ago; it didn't hold me as it did way back 13 years ago.

Oh, sorry guys, didn't mean to shirk, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! No more of this Toygenre stuff!
MAKE IT STOP! MAKE IT STOP!

hardly anyone I talk to in Japan knows about the show. I think it had more of a cult following in the states. I've never seen any voltron-related stuff here unlike their countless other anime stuff.

if they ruin this i'm heading to Hollywood with a baseball bat and kicking some ass..... also for you anime fans they are talking live action Neon Gen. we must stop all the madness NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
this can not be alowed

Only aired in 84-85. Damn, that crap had an impact.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Please dont ruin my childhood with a shitty movie. i cried after the last transformers........

I could be wrong about this, but people only assume the worst for these things because of nostalgia. "Hey, I loved that when I was a kid! They can't eff my childhood in the ay like that! *angry face*" Well, you were a kid back then and your taste in stuff probably sucked because, you know, kids typically have bad taste in everything. We attach certain memories to things and pretty much dare people not to mess with that. Which is why I think that a large percentage of people hated Transformers. Cartoon you loved + Fond childhood memories + Director you hate = Something new to bitch about.

Whatever, that's enough of that. I'm going to go out on a limb and say I think this movie can work and I can't wait to see how it turns out.

Although I hated the cartoon (I've never seen anime I liked), I got a lot of play out of this toy back in the day. I can't say I'm either here or there on a movie version of Voltron, though. I'm not that much emotionally attached to this particular product.

I am, however. still mourning Transformers, and GI Joe looks like it's going to suck, too. I'm sure He-Man, Heathcliff, Plastic Man, and ThunderCats will inevitably suck as well. Thereby, my entire childhood will have been whored out by Hollywood. What a sad ending to such a wonderful time.

This could be an awesome movie in the right hands but i have a bad feeling it is going to suck.

just what we need another great (insert video game,book,or anime here) ruined by the movie dumbasses

It's like transformers? Doesn't anyone remember power rangers? Well it's going to be like power rangers. Don't hype this movie people.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

This is almost as scary as when I heard they wanted to to make a Battle Of The Planets live action flick.

The damage they would do to this would be horrid. Can you imagine a big budget film with the production value of a Power Rangers movie???

I shall join in this.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Please?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Quick, if four more noooo posts are made we can form into one giant nooooo post fused with the mystic energies of the universe capable of preventing this live action travesty and or a giant robotic humanoid capable of wantonly destroying tall buildings.

I'm waiting on Gigantor.

I don't know man live-action anime..something tells me this gonna be garbage

YES!!!!!!
