Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Well, it was only a matter of time before we'd see a studio decide to make another giant robot movie after TRANSFORMERS made so much dough. It's not GO-BOTS (thankfully), but what we have is 20th Century Fox doing VOLTRON: DEFENDER OF THE UNIVERSE.

Producer Mark Gordon has been trying to get this made for a bit and now finally set the flick up with a script by Justin Marks, who also wrote the pending MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE movie as well as the new STREET FIGHTER flick.

They describe the setting as post-apocalyptic, taking place in New York and Mexico.

Of course, I know of this property, but VOLTRON wasn't a big part of my childhood and I haven't looked back since I've grown my pubes (finally sprouted last year!).

With all these nostalgic properties, it'll be really interesting to see if Justin Marks really delivers. Thoughts?
