Screenwriters Thomas Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer(who wrote the upcoming Conan the Barbarian reboot) have been writing a script for the big screen treatment for 1984 cartoon Voltron. Some concept art had also leaked last fall. Now, that means this could finally actually happen after years of ups and downs.
Here is what Vulture had to say about the specifics of the bidding war:
World Events executive VP Robert Koplar (son of Ted) declined to comment on whether Relativity Media would release the Voltron film itself (entirely possible, given its absorption of two-thirds of the staff of Overture Films last year) or if World Events's recent deal with Viacom’s Nicktoons means that sister company Paramount Pictures could handle it, but he did note that development is proceeding apace, and that regardless, the film will likely be ready to hit theaters by 2013 or by 2014.
So it looks like were getting a voltron movie by 2013 or by 2014. What do you guys think?
