Los Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 Review of early script at LatinoReview... http://www.latinoreview.com/scriptreview.php?id=65 Quote
dizman Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 Some things should never be done, like making a voltron movie, yet people go ahead and do them anyways. Sigh, maybe it'll be suprisingly good like the transformers movie, one can only hope. Quote
Kurisama Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 Well, as a child of the 80's - I'll give it a go. But cobbled together "junk-lions"? C'mon...... Here's hoping they 'uncover' the already built lions. But early days yet, could even be all crap, who knows? Quote
Macross73 Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 i only skimmed over it but ... it reads more like mad max than voltron. Quote
reddsun1 Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 Gawd, I hope they NEVER remake Mad Max--it will assuredly SUCK SWEATY DONKEY'S BALLS. Leave the classics alone, damnit! Oh wait a minute, I'm too late. They already DID remake Mad Max--The Punisher's already come out... Quote
terry the lone wolf Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 It sounds pretty good....People forget that Voltron had some apocalyptic overtones anyways & exclusion of all that magic stuff was a nice touch. I'd like to see it! Quote
Auto Pilot Off Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 golion (jap) anime is damn violent which was not shown in the voltron (US) cartoon.. i would like to see voltron chopping the head of rawbeast... Quote
charger69 Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 (edited) OMG If you read the informations, you will undoubtlfuly catch that "So down in Mexico, Allura and company have been busy manufacturing five robots to take on the RoBeasts using a combination of ancient pyramid drawings and alien technology." Sphinx are in fact ancient Voltron Lions!! Man I love the idea!!! Edited July 27, 2007 by charger69 Quote
yellowlightman Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 Oh wait a minute, I'm too late. They already DID remake Mad Max--The Punisher's already come out... Yes, because Mad Max invented the 'revenge' genre. Quote

Sphinx are in fact ancient Voltron Lions!! Man I love the idea!!! While the idea of Voltron being based on schematics hidden in egyptian artwork makes my head hurt.... Black lion WAS parked in a sphynx-like statue originally. And yellow parked in a sphynx. So the connection isn't TOO far out. Quote
wolfx Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 OMFG...... http://www.variety.com/article/VR111797000...yid=13&cs=1 Marks' take is described as a post-apocalyptic tale set in New York City and Mexico. Five ragtag survivors of an alien attack band together and end up piloting the five lion-shaped robots that combine and form the massive sword-wielding Voltron that helps battle Earth's invaders.

Godzilla Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 OMFG...... http://www.variety.com/article/VR111797000...yid=13&cs=1 _W_T_F_ is all I can say for it. Quote
protostar8 Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 (edited) Spoiler comments!!!! I like the idea of a Voltron movie that's not corny, but I really don't like the junk-former lions. Seriously, these lions are gonna look crappy (and possibly corny/goofy) if they are built out of junk (which road spikes for teeth sounds like junk to me). If they had built them in secret, then why couldn't they have used better parts like military stuff. And what's even worse in my opinion is that road spikes and other junk weapons can beat a monster that (as we are made to believe based on the script) top of the line military armaments couldn't beat. To me, it's like shooting a monster with a nuclear bomb, seeing that the bomb does nothing, then having a little kid smack it with a stick and the thing dies from the stick attack. I know people were complaining over the Junk-former TF movie designs, I can only imagine how bad this will be since they are actually made of junk. I seriously hope this gets revised.

baronv Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 (edited) The writer for this proposed Voltron movie looks like he's about fulfilling the live action fantasy of 80s fan boys. "He is adapting "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe" for Joel Silver at Warner Bros., as well as the Green Arrow pic "Supermax," also at the studio. Marks also has "Street Fighter" in the works at Hyde Park and Fox." And what the heck is the reviewer from LatinoReview thinking when he says that the script is a homeage to the Japanese and American versions when the lions are made out of car trunk parts? Just rename the movie Junkotron then. And I think they’re stretching it a bit with the multi-ethnic characeters, all they need now is someone in a wheel chair and make Lance gay to make sure all demographics are covered.

scand Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 Pure gHeyness! Who ever wrote the script needs be given a labatomy. Quote
protostar8 Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 I'm really starting to think that the reviewer is a close friend of the writer because he's way to happy about that sorry script. Quote
reddsun1 Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 (edited) I'm really starting to think that the reviewer is a close friend of the writer because he's way to happy about that sorry script. Well, we can't say we didn't see it coming. Not even 2 paragraphs into it and the writer acknowledges some blatant "co*k stroking" of the script writer... Shamless buggery aside, this guy is way too enthusiastic over a script that most any other rational reader would conclude is as much garbage as the "junk" lions featured in it...

I don't really use that site too often, so does anyone know if that guy is one of the main reviewers? Quote
