Exclusive: Voltron is getting ready to form! A first look at art from the new film! | Movie News
UPDATE: We've gotten our hands on yet another piece of concept art for the VOLTRON pitch. Check out the cool new image of the Blue Lion below, which gives us a sense of the robot's massive scale. We've also found that the man behind these images is none other than Swedish up-and-comer and OBLIVION artist Andree Wallin.

I know it's only September 16th and all, but it kind of feels like Christmas morning. That’s because when I opened up my Macbook just now, an insanely cool visual treat from a trusted source was just sitting there, patiently waiting in my inbox like a hungry kitty (that weak metaphor will become a sly pun by the end of this story).
Lets face it. After the 'Fallen' got their 'Revenge' on us last summer by duping us into spending our hard-earned coin on a lackluster TRANSFORMERS sequel, it quickly became apparent that Optimus and Co. were already starting to gather a bit of rust. But for those anxiously awaiting an heir apparent to breathe fresh life into the massive-metal-monster genre, it looks like the oft-rumored VOLTRON movie may finally be gaining some traction.
It appears that Atlas Entertainment has taken the reins on the project and is gearing up a pretty impressive pitch. Apparently, they've hired the currently hot screenwriting tag-team of Thomas Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer. The names may not sound familiar to you, but they might soon. The duo wrote the upcoming CONAN flick, and are currently scribing the DR. STRANGE and UNCHARTED: DRAKE'S FORTUNE adaptations.
Now for that whole "Christmas morning" part. The highlight of the pitch comes in the form of a handful of wicked (and carnage-heavy) concept art. Looks like they're definitely not prepping a Saturday morning cartoon for the kiddies. Check out the JoBlo.com exclusive images of Voltron and Robeast tearing our planet to shreds now (click to see them in hi-res) and here's hoping we get more feline robot exclusives in the future!

Extra Tidbit: The original series was created by Peter Keefe in 1983 using material he had licensed from the Japanese cartoons "Beast King GoLion" and "Armored Fleet Dairugger XV". I wonder why they changed the title.

Americans should learn that America is not the greatest country on earth, if it was then they wouldn't need too keep stealing other peoples movies and remaking them into a Amerikaaaaa movie, like they also did with the original cartoon:
''The series was dubbed into English and edited, rewriting the scripts with reduced violence and the removal of Japanese cultural and location references.''
Read the last part again: the removal of Japanese cultural and location references
This movie should be made in Japan, same goes for the Transformers movies.

No, Japan shouldn't make TF. They do a worse job than we do, overall. Really, they should just take TF back to its roots with animated works and boxy or comic book character styles, but that'll never happen because they can't comprehend that it's what the fans really want.

Perhaps this is the film Proyas should be doing instead of *shudder* Paradise Lost. Lord knows the gigantic Kraken was the only good thing about "Clash". Lord also...
Perhaps this is the film Proyas should be doing instead of *shudder* Paradise Lost. Lord knows the gigantic Kraken was the only good thing about "Clash". Lord also knows, I hope, that Paradise Lost should never be made into a movie. Any kind. But especially not an action movie.

First of all, Power Rangers was adapted from it's original Japanese counterpart, the Super Sentai series, and there was a show from that series called Taiyou Sentai Sun Vulcan. This show started the idea of combining mecha in the Super Sentai series. And guess what? It started before GoLion aired, on February 1981, while GoLion aired a month after. Not to mention, GoLion's English adaptation, Voltron, started in September 1984. In other words, Power Rangers, in the form of it's original Japanese version, Super Sentai, started the idea of combining mecha before Voltron/GoLion. In fact, GoLion may have been influenced by Super Sentai. So you're wrong to say that Power Rangers ripped off Voltron.
Just a little history lesson for you.

Let's just hope it's not going to be another GI-Joe or Transformers 2.

1. Voltron is designed the exact same way that Michael Bay's Transformers are.
2. He's yellow. Ladies and gentlemen... when was Voltron yellow in the TV series? Exactly.

This movie may have a chance to be "Entertaining" but its going to be Garage Garbage Garbage, because it will lose the respect of people ...especially the REAL fans. Voltron MUST look similar to the Cartoon..... at least for the first 2 Movies... and it MUST take place on Planet Arus..... so that Voltron I (Vehicle Voltron) can take place on Earth, and Voltron II (Gladiator Voltron) take place in the Middle Universe. So after 3 Lion Voltron movies, they can release 3 Vehicle Voltron Movies.... then 3 Gladiator Voltron movies.
Gaurantee they are gonna screw this up so badly, they they willhave to do a Remake, and that will suck even more. Get George Lucas, Steven Spielberg to help get the Big Universe look to it at least.... PLEASE DO NOT SCREW THIS UP Hollywood.
