The long-rumored live action Voltron just got more real, with a deal announced by ImageAtlas Entertainment’s Charles Roven, Richard Suckle and Steve Alexander. The 1980s Voltron series was based on two unrelated Japanese anime series Beast King GoLion and Kikou Kantai Dairugger XV, which were dubbed and dumped on US tv airwaves where I saw them as a child and had a Voltron sticker book back when Panini came out with them every month or so. Ah, Panini. But will the movie compare to Panini? Or the original cartoon, which was ultra violent and edited for the US? Who knows. But Voltron totally serves bad guys on Robot Chicken, so we got that going for us. Still waiting for someone to resurrect Go-Bots.
