Two employees at New Line Cinema, Mark Costa and Ford Oelman, secured the rights from "Voltron" owner World Events, and eventually brought the project to Gordon, whose credits also include "Saving Private Ryan" and "Speed." Costa and Oelman will executive produce, along with Pharrell Williams, one-half of the producing duo the Neptunes, who will score the film and produce the soundtrack.

Form Arms and Body!
Form Legs and Feet!
And I'll form the head!

I'm having almost as much difficulty getting excited about this one as King Kong. I mean, Private Ryan was good, but Speed was the lamest lame that ever lamed a lamer.

[Spriggan]

well those are just the producers, I'll get more or less excited once I see the screen writer and director.

I loved Voltron as a kid....hope the movie doesn't suck though

[Eagle Prince]

Awesome, we were just talking about Voltron.  Anyone know what they said when creating the Voltron sword?

[Mr_Pleasington]

I think you all are forgetting the inevitable controversy....

who will pilot the Blue Lion,  Sven or the Princess?

[Patrick_Gibbs]

You're excited about a Voltron movie but you don't . . . never mind.

When "King Kong" kills everything at the box office, and everyone loves it, I will have the last laugh.

[Spriggan]

Dude giant robots are infinitely cooler then a giant ape.  Now it King Kong were a giant monkey then you might have an argument.

Oh and to Mr. P's question.  The Princess, they do need a female role to get more then us to go.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

oh yeah, it'll definitely be the princess.
in a fight, giant robots beat giant apes.
Giant ninja monkeys are a completely different matter.

[Chimera]

I remember Voltron! Or at least, I remember that there was some sort of romantic conflict in that the bad guy had a thing for the princess. When I was five, I was all about the romantic conflict--much more interesting to me than the rest of the show. Or, at least, that's all I can remember now. And the fact that when Power Rangers came along I thought to myself, "This combining of different machines to make one big machine somehow seems familiar..."

And didn't the princess pilot a pink lion? I can't remember, it was so long ago, but I thought I remembered pink, which my five-year-old self would have heartily approved of, not blue.

[Eagle Prince]

I think her uniform was pink, but not the lion.

[Spriggan]

she piloted the Blue Lion as Mr. P said and had a pink suite, basialy she was a replacement mid series.

As for the Who beats Who hiarchy:

Ninja Monkey Pirate
Ninja Monkey
Monkey Pirate
Giant Robot
Boba Fett
Cheese
Anime School Girls
Jedi
Giant Apes

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

Ninja monkeys assassin priests top that list.

also, you forgot ninjas that are not monkeys.

[Spriggan]

ah yes, they should have been above cheese.
