VOLTRON Interlock Almost Activated!!

Merrick here... The long-gestating VOLTRON film project is being re-shaped with the hopes of finally getting it on-track and into theaters.

Ryan Kavanaugh's financing and production venture Relativity Media is in negotiations to back the property, though on a more moderate budget, utilizing the type of cost-effective technology employed in films including "300."

...says THIS ARTICLE in Variety. I don't know much about VOLTRON, although the robo-thingies evidently have "megathruters"...which is cool by me in a "turbo boost" sort of way. Okay, so I'm confused. I'm gathering some level of cross-influence occurred between VOLTRON and Super Sentai (POWER RANGERS) - if only by virtue of both properties coming from Toei and Bandai. But I'm not clear which informed which. Anyone out there know more? DROP ME A LINE, or discuss in the Talkbacks below! Remember late last year/earlier this year when a contingent of folks believed that CLOVERFILED, which was still mysterious at that point, was actually a cover for VOLTRON? Strange days.
