“Atlas Entertainment’s Charles Roven, Richard Suckle and Steve Alexander are ready to form “Voltron.”

The producers behind “Get Smart” and “The International” (and Roven of course also produced “The Dark Knight) have acquired the rights to make a live-action feature based on the robot-lion property, pushing the project forward after several years in development with the Mark Gordon Company.

Roven and his partners acquired rights to the Japanese title from World Events Prods., a St. Louis-based company that has held those rights for more than two decades. “Wanted” producer Jason Netter of Kickstart Entertainment and World Events’ Ted Koplar are joining the Atlas trio in producing.”

Okay, so after Transformers, we get another giant robot action movie coming up. The question that remains is will they be using Voltron Lions or Voltron Vehicles. I do hope they go for the Lion version. The vehicles just looked to complicated. Although, it seems that they’ll go with the vehicles version since it seems more “realistic” than giant robot lions traveling about.

I’m not familiar with the Voltron mythos but I’m really interested where this thing goes.
