Voltron Transforms into Feature at Fox
Riding the popularity of the box office's favorite giant robots in TRANSFORMERS, 20th Century Fox-based New Regency is in final talks with the Mark Gordon Co. to bring VOLTRON: DEFENDER OF THE UNIVERSE to the big screen as a live-action film, VARIETY reports. Gordon has been developing the project and previously hired Justin Marks (HE-MAN) to pen the script.
Based on the '80s anime/manga/toy franchise, the feature will take place in New York City and Mexico after an alien invasion has decimated Earth, and will follow five survivors, who take possession of five lion-like robots, which when combined form the giant robot Voltron.
Gordon will produce alongside Lawrence Inglee and Jordan Wynn. Mark Costa and Ford Oelman are exec producing.
The project, which was been in development for three years, has been funded thus far by Jim Young's Animus Films.
