They are going to make a Voltron movie.......... One thing will be certain about the
Voltron
movie: It'll have a
cool soundtrack. That's the hope of
Pharrell Willams, leader of the
Neptunes and executive producer of the
movie Voltron: Defender of the
Universe. In addition to producing
the film and its soundtrack, Pharell
will also write the score.
Voltron: Defender
of the Universe, an animated show from the '80s,
tells the story of five young space jockeys
who travel into space to learn how to control
one of five robot ships. Each episode, the
five heroes combine their personal robots
into one giant robot: Voltron. As Voltron, the five
must work together to defeat the evil alien
Drule Empire. So, not only was Voltron
an exciting after-school event, but also it
presented lessons on the importance of team building.
The Voltron movie is being produced by
Mark Gordon, who produced the films The Day After
Tomorrow and Saving Private Ryan.
The Voltron film
joins a growing roster of '80s cartoons that are making
make their way to the silver screen,
including John Woo's
He-Man,
Spielberg and Bay's
Transformers,
and
The Smurfs.

GoBots, where art thou?
