The dudes at Latino Review have done it again! They have gotten their hands on the Voltron script, and have given it the highest rating possible! We get the scoop and following script description from Latino Review:
THE SCRIPT ROCKS! I give it THE STRONGEST CONSIDERATION POSSIBLE THAT A SCREENPLAY CAN RECEIVE if I was the story editor at the studio considering Voltron. Mark Gordon is going to have a bidding war on his hands with Voltron after TRANSFORMERS opens. Anyone who passes on Voltron has got to be a fucking idiot. So let’s get down to it! What’s the setup?
VOLTRON is a post apocalyptic movie and a fucking awesome one at that too. Just the way it should be because that was the setup of both cartoons. A little bit of ROAD WARRIOR, a little bit INDEPENDENCE DAY, a little bit WAR OF THE WORLDS, a little bit of ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK, a little bit of THE TERMINATOR, and a little bit of THE MATRIX with some STARGATE thrown in for good measure!
As a lifelong Voltron fan I am so pumped about this news. Something about robots, forming together into a super robot drives me crazy with glee. A robot like this celebrates the power of teamwork and reminds us that in numbers we are strong.
Having Voltron in a post apocalyptic setting is cool with me. Post apocalyptic films may be my favorite film genre, and I will welcome Voltron with open arms into the fold. I could not find any mention of Zarkon on the Latino Review site, but I personally would like to see the blue bad ass make an appearance. Zarkon is a fun word to say, and he is responsible for a lot of Voltron’s monster enemies.
With Transformers on deck to smash the box office and plunder our wallets, you better believe that more robot films will be green lit. If I get to see the 5 lions assemble on the silver screen, it will be a glorious treat, this is for certain!
