Comic-Con 2011: "Voltron" Movie is Officially Announced!

Press Release:

In Voltron, an elite battle force defends the fate of mankind in the spectacular action adventure. Five young warriors are responsible for the future of the galaxy when they become pilots of a battalion of ultra-high-tech Robot Lions, powerful vessels with the ability to join together to form a fearsome mega-weapon known as "Voltron."

The original series, based on the Japanese anime properties Beast King GoLion and Kikou Kantai Dairugger XV, aired in the United States for two years and has been described as an "international pop-culture hit" that has garnered a large following over the last 25 years. In recent years, the Voltron property has sold over 300,000 DVDs, established numerous apparel and consumer product deals and has spawned a TV series, "Voltron Force," which became Nicktoon's highest-rated debut ever on June 16, 2011.

The live-action film will be produced by Atlas Entertainment's Roven (The Dark Knight) and Richard Suckle (The International), along with Kickstart Entertainment's Jason Netter (Wanted). World Events Productions' Ted Koplar ("Voltron Force") will executive produce. The script is being penned by Thomas Dean Donnelly (Conan the Barbarian) and Joshua Oppenheimer (Sahara).

Tooley said, "For nearly three decades, Voltron has captured the minds of a nostalgically loyal and rabid fan base and has long been considered a hotly-pursued project. We are beyond excited World Event Productions and Atlas Entertainment have placed their trust and faith in Relativity to bring this coveted property to the big screen, and usher in a new generation of devoted fans." Tooley added, "With Chuck and Richard's experience producing tentpoles, they are the perfect producers to bring this potential franchise to theaters."

Roven, co-founder, Atlas Entertainment said, "It's incredibly gratifying to officially announce the development of the live-action Voltron movie this week, given its recent resurgence and the start of Comic-Con."

Suckle, producer, Atlas Entertainment added, "I know there's been a lot of rumors and speculation about this movie, so it's great to finally confirm to all the Voltron fans everywhere that we're coming for them."

Adult Swim's Titan Maximum Photos

Yo, cuz. Here are some photos for Adult Swim's newest stop motion animated series, Titan Maximum from the creators of Robot Chicken, Seth Green, Matthew Senreich, and Tom Root.

The show centers around an elite squadron, who must defend Saturn’s moon Titan. The young brash pilots spaceships combine to form the giant robot Titan Maximum. Its a comedic take on classic robot cartoons like Voltron. The team has been disbanded due to budget cuts, but must hastily reassemble when a former team member turns rogue and tries to conquer the solar system with an assault of giant monsters. Now, the fate of humanity rests in the hands of
a team of dysfunctional misfits commanding a rust bucket robot.

I'm a huge fan of Robot Chicken and Seth Green so I'll definitely be tuning in to see this show. I can't wait until this airs. Check out the photos courtesy of Geek Tyrant and peep this show when it airs September 27th, 2009 at 11:30 pm. Tell me what you think and stay up for more buzz.
