I have not watched Voltron ever.  But after familiarizing myself with it thanks to wikipedia, I’m excited to say, hell yay for Voltron.  Who knows… Maybe this time they will stay true to it’s source material, as a certain other sentient robot movie forgot to do ahem… Thanks to comingsoon  via latinoreview  for this wonderfully whimsically mad news:

Last week, it was reported that New Regency had put Voltron: Defender of the Universe into turnaround. The news said that Relativity Media is now backing the property with a more moderate budget, utilizing the type of cost-effective technology employed in films like 300. A director was going to be attached in a week.

Now, Latino Review has learned that Max Makowski will take on the directing duties for the project, which was written by Justin Marks.

Gang, do you remember the days of Voltron?  Are you excited they are going forward with this project or do you think it’ll end up campy and not what you saw as children?  Remembering, it needs to take place in this updated time.
