Here's proof CLOVERFIELD has nothing to do with VOLTRON! The property is being made by a different studio!!!

This is a lie. IT'S VOLTRON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! by lost.rules	Aug 10th, 2007 03:26:55 AM
It's amazing how they're trying to cover this up.
The Statue of Liberty's Head.... by The Equalizer	Aug 10th, 2007 03:29:30 AM
I haven't seen anything mentioned on this site about a teaser trailer that was aired before Transformers in England. It was like a camcorder filmed house party, with a load of twentysomethings having fun. Then there's a load bang, things start shaking, everyone heads to the roof and sees flames in the distance. Now everyone runs into the street, it's all very noisy, people are panicking. Then something massive flies out of the air and lands by them. It's the Statue of Liberty's head. I'm sure everyone's already seen this, but I was rather impressed. This could be the monster movie that Godzilla should've been!!
So does that mean this movie is gonna suck harder? by RedJester	Aug 10th, 2007 03:30:39 AM
Because my expectations are already about as shitty as expectations can be for this movie.
I SAW IT!!! by BigBlackDude	Aug 10th, 2007 03:33:06 AM

How old is this news? by Dietrich	Aug 10th, 2007 03:33:08 AM
Wasn't this part of the "IT'S NOT VOLTRON" Evidence barrage launched at a certain stonehead in the FIRST CLOVERFIELD TB? Pharell Williams of NERD, still exec. producer? Yawn. Slusho has nearly nothing to do with 1-18-08. Slusho is people.
and is anyone else plugging this thing except for AICN? by RedJester	Aug 10th, 2007 03:35:25 AM
It seems to me AICN is soley responsible for the "hype" if you can call it that, that this movie is garnering.
I WANT Go-Bots! wtf is a voltron anyway?? by TheNorthlander	Aug 10th, 2007 03:38:09 AM
I remember seeing those toys on county fairs, they looked like cheap immitations of some crap. Go-Bots, on the other hand made sense and most of the toys were better than transformerstoys after transformers started becomming all-plastic things that resembled neither robots or vehicles. No wait. I can't believe I'm 30 and care.
Masters of the Universe? Street Fighter? by dr sauch	Aug 10th, 2007 03:41:18 AM
Lets get some stories about those projects! Voltron is only good insofar as it's 80's/90's nostalgia. But a good Street Fighter? That would be kickass. Speaking of Street Fighter, I just watched the VanDamme/Raul Julia one. It is a brilliant movie. I finally got that it's suppossed to be bad!
Well VOLTRON was a huge part of my childhood. by MaxTheSilent	Aug 10th, 2007 03:42:40 AM
But even so, I can't remember a single thing about any of the human characters in the show. I'll never forget that probably the best birthday present I've ever recieved was the full die-cast metal Lion Voltron. God, I wish I still had it!
I finally know the purpose of Cloverfield. by TheNorthlander	Aug 10th, 2007 03:43:41 AM
The reason they're REALLY making this virally marketed movie is to make people aware of the other Voltron movie they're also making. All those idiots who were spamming about Voltron are part of the marketing (and should still be hanged for the spamming). It's like when admiral ackbar & co attacked the second death star and the star destroyers were waiting for them...
What's wrong with a go-bots film? by smallfry	Aug 10th, 2007 04:06:53 AM
A go-bots film would be awesome especially if it had the rock-lords in it! And Quint, there really was no need to tell us about your pubes...
Always nice to hear from your pubes, Quint! by SpencerTrilby	Aug 10th, 2007 04:31:43 AM
I thought you dropped the ball on the Iron Man interviews, but in fact it was your balls that dropped. Who cares about Votron, anyway? Bring this Ratner's Carebears movie with Ralph Fiennes and Sean Bean NAOW!!!!
NOT VOLTRON by smorgasbord	Aug 10th, 2007 04:35:33 AM
It's not voltron. and you can't prove me wrong and if you do, I'll just pretend I was joking But I am really a cop You'll have to excuse me, I've a memo to send to The President, the Dwarf-Giants are back again...

The only pubes I want to hear about are Harry's. by Bronx Cheer	Aug 10th, 2007 05:21:32 AM
Those ginger pubes are breathtaking. Quint, Mori, all the rest of youse...you need to shave. Oh Harry, he of the wilde red pubes... What was I going to say? Oh, yeah...enough with the kiddie shot. When the hell am I going to get that Iriwn Allen shoe done as a big movie? You know the submarine one with Richard Basehart? I loved that phallic ship. Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. Reimagned with an all-pygmy cast. Done as a silent film. With Matt Damon as Kirk.

"They describe the setting as post-apocalyptic, taking place in New York and Mexico" Wow ... sounds like the sypnosis for one of those mid-1980s direct-to-video films where the tape box cover is invariably more interesting than the movie itself.
I find most Japanese ainime interchangeable. by Yeti	Aug 10th, 2007 05:59:09 AM
Voltron, G-Force, Sailor Moon, etc all high on angst, drama, and weird haircuts you'd need to spend 5000$ a year on product alone for that gravity defying, "freshly fucked" look.

Cloverfield is still about VOLTRON. They always make two movies about the same theme (Armageddon/Deep Impact, Madagascar/The wild, etc.).
Robotech by Spyhunter	Aug 10th, 2007 06:35:25 AM
Now if we can get a decent Robotech movie, I'll be happy. Never was too crazy about Voltron though, but I'd still probably go see it.

Damn it all to hell. I regret only that I wasn't here for his final moments, just to get some more cheap shots in. I have noticed, however, that he's posted another part to the "prologue" for his "novel" HOTG on "his" MySpace page. Really, the writing sounds just like him...but the picture still doesn't seem right. Five bucks to the first person who deduces his new screenname, as I find it impossible that he would have just given up...or can the mods block someone completely, not just by screenname?
VOLTRON IS AWESOME... Great Script! by stlfilmwire	Aug 10th, 2007 07:02:01 AM

Will it be the lion Voltron or the other one??? by DarthMartel	Aug 10th, 2007 07:15:53 AM
the one with like 50 little ships that go together. Tell me that wasn't marketing genius. Hey we got this Voltron which consists of 5 lions. 5 is nice but, what if we had a different Voltron made up of like 50 little ships. The kids would have to buy all of them to assemble the full robot. Ohhhhhhhh I see dollar signs. CHA CHING

QUINT'S PUBES by Ray Gamma	Aug 10th, 2007 07:49:37 AM
QUINT, unless you are insured by a company who doesn't mind paying out millions of dollars in replacement computer keyboards for your readers, I would suggest you refrain from making remarks about your pubes on AICN. I spluttered hot coffee all over mine exactly 53 seconds ago.

Voltron on Earth by almostgrown	Aug 10th, 2007 08:03:09 AM
OK, Galaxy Garrison was based on Earth, but at no point did Voltron ever make it near Earth or the other 8 planets (I still count Pluto), so why does it have to be from NY and Mexico?
Voltron by smorgasbord	Aug 10th, 2007 08:13:23 AM
I seem to have completely missed out on Voltron. If it was ever shown over here in Blighty i must have been out scrumping. Was it any good?
actually, by almostgrown	Aug 10th, 2007 08:20:48 AM
it was kind of cheesy with mediocre writing, recycled plotlines and somewhat cheap animation (freeze frame fight scenes, recycled stock footage, etc) but we still love it.

He's doing voice work in that upcoming movie The Kite Runner. Look at him on IMDB. As for directing? Doug Liman! He set the tone for Bourne Identity, and he also did Go and Swingers.
The Cloverfield TBs by fish tacos	Aug 10th, 2007 08:35:44 AM
were so obnoxious with all the Voltron and The Host talk. I mean c'mon... Voltron? The 1-18-08 teaser had a horror movie tone. Voltron is corny, kids' stuff. And The Host? The monster in that movie could take down a McDonalds sign, not Lady Liberty's head. Those were some bizarre TBs.

planet Aeris was a American addition by Falcon5768	Aug 10th, 2007 08:47:44 AM
The original Japanese "Go Lion" was on earth, not planet Aeris. The script they are using combines the Go Lion and Voltron storylines, keeping the characters and some of the plotline of Voltron, while making it much more adult (and violent) like Go Lion was.
Problem with Voltron you already know it's ending by kikuchiyoboy	Aug 10th, 2007 08:52:11 AM

Is VOLTRON as bad as its looks? by Col. Tigh-Fighter	Aug 10th, 2007 09:07:09 AM
finally looked up Voltron on t'interweb. Is it really as lame looking and sounding as it appears to be? Are you people seriously jizzed for another 80's robot wank-fest? Transformers was a good looking, poor quality movie. Your childhood is going to be raped again.
Script Review by Philvis	Aug 10th, 2007 09:08:58 AM
The script review for Voltron has been on the Latino Review website for some time now. It actually doesn't sound too bad. It's not your Prince Lothar story line, but keeps a similar theme. I look forward to it.
It's a lion. by rumspringa	Aug 10th, 2007 09:13:10 AM
I hear this actually going to be a new take on Voltron. He's going to emerge from the sea and attack New York, all just to ruin his arch-enemy's going away party. I swear. MRX67 told me so.

So we'll get some good, some bad, some brilliant giant robot movies, and we're gonna get ALOT of 'em. Most will probably be little more than efx workouts, but I'm betting taht EVANGELION is gnona be the one to blow everyones minds; the bockbuster with the indieish heart and a cul sensibility that will leave geeknation divided once more: on the one side you'll have the more intelligent, literate geeks singing its praises, on the other side you'll have the lunkheads complaining about how it made their heads hurt cause they had to think too much. Either way, we all win, cause its coming! GIANT ROBOTS EVERYWHERE!!!

SILVER HAWKS, THUNDERCATS, GALAXY RANGERS, et al, they're all coming. Every single 80s cartoon/toy property will hit the screen, taking full use of consumer nostalgia, making money hand over fist until we run out of retro; after which retro-retro will be marketed which will be so meta and post-modern and incomprehensible that consumers will go into this weird feedback loop of buying stuff they're not even sure they either like, hate, or appreciate the irony of until retro-retro-retro hits after which everyone on earth will merely be hyper-mediated zombies without any sense of memory or history, merely clinging to the idea of a dream of a memory they no longer really even posess, bu need to buy to remind themselves of the commericals which they're not even sure they saw in the first place. Like the MATRIX mixed with WAL MART and MTV (aka Empty-V).

Power Rangers is what Voltron ripped off by Falcon5768	Aug 10th, 2007 11:06:26 AM
or rather the Super Sentai series that eventually spawned the shows that are used in America to make Power Rangers. All Go Lion was, was a animated version of the 70-80's SS series.

Swords vs. PPCs by KenobiFan	Aug 10th, 2007 11:24:36 AM
Forget Voltron, what there really needs to be is a full blown Battletech/Mechwarrior film. Given what Transformers was able to pull off, and after looking at Blackout in the opening sequence, the next level is a film that has nothing but hulking mechanical monsters lobbing missiles, bombs, and lasers at each other and their surroundings. Anything less than that is going to come off looking dumb or just plain silly.

that it may be about Voltron AND Cthulhu? I mean, you can't make a Voltron movie without a weird giant monster for him to slice in half with that giant fucking sword he should have gotten out in the first place in the first 20 seconds of the fucking battle amirte? Could anything make as profound a statement about our modern times as a Lovecraftian cult icon getting chopped in half by an anime mecha?
J.J. Abrams "Voltron" versus Jos Whedon's "Orbots" by LaustenMagnetodome	Aug 10th, 2007 12:35:53 PM
While J.J. Abrams' sprawling effects picture, "Voltron: Defender of the Universe" staggers towards a summer release, after encountering several major delays, an embarrassing failed viral marketing campaign and going more than $50 million over budget, Jos Whedon nears a wrap on his sparky space robot action comedy, "The Mighty Orbots". What Whedon's robot movie lacks in budget, expensive CG and A-list talent, it more than makes up for with his signature witty exchanges and eccentric character antics. Most notable is Denis Franz as "Crunch", bringing an unexpected gravitas the role of the overeating automaton.

"dwarf-giants" (!) ...I am surprised... that unlike Anstypantsy or Homewrecker... he has yet to rematerialise in anew form here... ...he could for example write his new/old name as "76XRM" or even "mrx67" ... ... at least we still have Dietrich...

GATCHAMAN (aka Battle of the Planets): The Movie by LaserPants	Aug 10th, 2007 01:43:33 PM
THIS NEEDS to be made with all due haste. LOTS of gratuituous panty shots of Jun/Princess as she leaps and bounds and kicks the crap out of Galactor agents and soldiers. Many starlets could play Jun, but my geekgasm choice would be a Japanese actress; someone like Aya Ueto (from AZUMI) would be perfect. But if they Americanized it, any Alba, Fox, Portman or some new unheretofore introduced geek-fantasy ingenue; fresh with the dewy sexuality of not-quite-innocence presenting herself at the altar of geekdom; to the rigors of the horny geek gaze (w/ obsession).

That would kick unholy ace too! Ah, what a trip down memory lane.
I'm pretty sure Voltron didn't have any drunk.. by Danger Vole	Aug 10th, 2007 03:14:55 PM
Manhattan yuppies in it. Which is why Cloverfield obviously wasn't ever Voltron. Before you say you want to see a G-force/BoTP/Gotchaman movie...see this- http://youtube.com/watch?v=HS3 y0TZbvQA it stars SMAP, the international all singing, all danincing man band.
voltron? voltron? really? by Bouncy X	Aug 10th, 2007 03:22:20 PM
i still cant believe so many people thought and were convinced this was a voltron movie simply because one guy in the trailer says he saw a giant lion. that to me is quite hilarious. but i hope the voltron movie shows us his dancing skills, cuz imagine that robot chicken sketch done in full kick ass CGI...oh my, i think Jazz's little breakdance move might get overshadowed for the MTV movie award for best dancing robot.
Did someone say PPC? MECHWARRIOR!!! by YO MOM'S GOAT	Aug 10th, 2007 03:23:03 PM
I could go for a classic tale of Prince Victor Steiner-Davion and his best friend Kai Allard Liao as they rise through the ranks during one of those fancy pants Succession Wars. If they did a Battletech movie right it would automatically become the greatest movie ever made. After Iron Man. But they won't. Last time they even flirted with it we got RobotJocks.
I used to think that.... by Colier Rannd	Aug 10th, 2007 04:23:30 PM
..that this is what I wanted. A Voltron movie. A Underdog movie. A Transformers movie...but they're all turning to shite. Stay as far away from Robotech as possible Hollywood! You'll only make Rick a ace fighter pilot of a F-14 so you can "ground it" and then the SDF-1 will have a giant FORD emblem on it.
The Tragic Death Of Sven! by LaserPants	Aug 10th, 2007 04:33:00 PM
This film better do justice to the tragic death of the original pilot of the blue lion -- Sven, who would often remark, in a sterotype 'Swedish' accent (think Horation Honrblower) "I'm Sven!" at various times during any given episode. Anyways, it was only after his tragic death that the Princess Areola donned her hot tight pink costume and piloted the Blue Lion to many a pointlessly drawn out victory, Pour some Space Whiskey on the curb for Sven. Anyone else remember the Vehicle Voltron? It was another VOLTRON made up of space ships and cars and shit. It was actually a better show than the Lion VOLTRON; sorta hadda Star Blazers/Yamato space opera/quest feel, but, you know, not quite as good.
What about the rest of the 80's by Veni Vidi Vici	Aug 10th, 2007 04:52:06 PM
Go-Bots, Rock Lords, Battle Beasts, Muscle Men, Army Ants, Food Fighters, Centurions, Sectaurs, Dino Riders, Robotech, Silver Hawks, Starcom, MASK. doesn't hollywood want to ruin these too?

VOLTRON better be VISITING New York and Mexico... by MrMysteryGuest	Aug 10th, 2007 06:41:58 PM
...'cause if those lions are first REVIVED in New York and Mexico, I'll be supremely pissed!!
LaserPants, Sven didn't die by bah	Aug 10th, 2007 06:57:38 PM
At least not in the American version. The hospital he was in was attacked, and later, Alura's sister finds him living on an asteroid. They hook up, and in the series finale, he valiantly plunges from the castle tower after duelling hand-to-hand with Lothar. The ending narration says they lived; I've always wondered if that was true in the original.
THIS MOVIE MUST NOT BE MADE. by the Green Gargantua	Aug 10th, 2007 07:19:58 PM
The story is so awful, it could have been bad as hell but they turned it into a dung pile. A space opera with astro/occult themes would have been amazing, in it's stead we will get Monster Garage meets ID4. I shit you not. Fuck you Mark Gordon.
The only way the script works is with car Voltron. by the Green Gargantua	Aug 10th, 2007 07:26:39 PM

Sometimes you actually have to prove to idiots... by BurnHollywood	Aug 10th, 2007 08:18:23 PM
...How full of shit they are. Can you imagine, after all the viral hype and undercover antics surrounding this movie, if it turned out to be Voltron?! "What the fuck's a 'Voltron'," asks 99% of the moviegoing public, unaware of the crucial importance to fanboys of shitty old Japanese little-robots-turning -into-bigger-robots TV shows, "And why is this interesting in the least to me and the $11.50 in movie ticket money in my pocket here?" Good question.
Eh by calnorso	Aug 10th, 2007 08:25:05 PM
As long as it has a better story than Transformers then I'd at least be interested in watching it
I'm surprised there's no mention of Thundercats. by theonecalledshoe	Aug 10th, 2007 08:42:40 PM

Eh? Eh? C'mon... show me the love.
What about MEGAFORCE?! by YO MOM'S GOAT	Aug 10th, 2007 09:10:05 PM
Wait, they already made that one and it was horrible. Nevermind.
Green Gargantua by tgamble	Aug 10th, 2007 09:10:44 PM
You said, "The only way the script works is with car Voltron." UMMM they already have a car robots movie. It's called Transformers. Voltron is all about the lions. If you don't like it then you may want to go and watch Transformers.
What was the show with the space guys by YO MOM'S GOAT	Aug 10th, 2007 09:10:59 PM
and the toys had little men with magnets on their feet. And their vehicles would pop open and stuff kinda like MASK but they were better constructed. Am I the only guy that remembers these? What was it called?
LIES, ALL LIES! by Pennsy	Aug 10th, 2007 09:22:40 PM
Or, it's a lion, it's HUGE!
maybe it was just toys... STARCOM! That's it! by YO MOM'S GOAT	Aug 10th, 2007 09:30:20 PM
Yeah.
CLOVERFIELD.... by BLACKNMILD	Aug 10th, 2007 10:28:35 PM
Seems to have drifted away from this site.....until now. So Voltron is not connected to Cloverfield......hmmm. AICN sees fit to disclaim the notion that the two movies are connected but offer no proof (joking). It seems to me that AICN is fishing. They are hoping to lure back the only voice that set aside their website from others. Even though banned, his name is echoed on this thread. Perhaps you need to adjust your mod....or perhaps you need to realize what makes good business. People love to have someone to hate. He won't come back after being so disrespected by you. Besides, he is working on his novel. Send a letter to his email and perhaps you can work something out. I have to admit, your site seems very dull without him. If you think I'm lying, check out the threads yourself.
MRX is back and HE IS BLACKNMILD by cromwell1666	Aug 10th, 2007 11:13:07 PM
Maybe this time he wont physically threaten anyone like a 12 year old and have to be forcibly removed.
RIP MRX by GreenGeezer	Aug 10th, 2007 11:13:57 PM
No crow man, eat no crow. But keep in mind, your logic wasnt flawless.
Stop this project now, or do it right by Dracos	Aug 11th, 2007 01:10:09 AM
Voltron never mentioned earth, iirc. So why does this take place in New York and Mexico? The Riddick universe is a better place for Voltron than Earth. I have a sneaking suspicion that Pace Picante Sauce is bankrolling this and will get lots of product placement. Their concept is a recipe for suck. Save some time and energy and just make the original story, dammit. It'll be better than the crap this alleged writer comes up with.
Green Gargantua, I heard... by TheBloop	Aug 11th, 2007 06:10:06 AM
That the Brown Green Gargantua kicked your ass all over town. He says he did a tap dance on your face and made you like it. And if the Brown Gargantua says a rooster could tow a freight train......then by god you better hook him up.
The Bloop: by the Green Gargantua	Aug 11th, 2007 08:17:42 AM
Is named after a fart that I ripped in 1997 after devouring some mexicans. The brown Gargantua's corpse was incinerated after I shoved his house gargantua's ass into a volcano.
I still think.... by Kyzer The Medic	Aug 11th, 2007 09:30:21 AM
that Cloverfield will end up being a live action adaptation of the Rampage video games....think about it

WTF is this?!!! Where's the real shit?
Also if they ever made a Robotech movie by smackfu	Aug 11th, 2007 12:06:30 PM
it would be fucking hilarious if they suddenly cut it off right before the last half hour of the plot and started the movie over from the beginning, as a nod to Canadian fans.
Saber Rider by tacoshack27	Aug 11th, 2007 03:10:27 PM
Speaking of Voltron type shows. Anyone remember the show Saber Rider and the Star Sherrifs. That also had Peter Culler as the narrator.
We need SPY FOOTAGE! by emp	Aug 11th, 2007 03:39:23 PM
Think of the BIG news if we get a 9 sec. clip of Voltron backing up with beeping sounds. I am in you Cloverfield, urinating.
And by the way, by emp	Aug 11th, 2007 03:44:19 PM
are He-Man and Voltron related in family or just regarding work? The MASTER / DEFENDER relationship is somewhat unclear to me. Wait a minute! Wasn't there a lion among the He-Man characters? Don't tell me it was called Voltron? It all makes sense to me now.

You should have asked someone who watched the Cloverfield trailer in another country with SUBTITLES to know exactly what was said. I happen to live in one of those countries- they do NOT say "lion".
ROBOTECH/MACROSS Canadian Conspiracy! by LaserPants	Aug 11th, 2007 07:00:32 PM
Is that a true story, smackfu? You never got to see the end? That sucks! I was obsessed with MACROSS when I was a kid. I would have gone on a tri-state killing spree had that happened to me.
I Coulda Sworn I Saw Sven Die On TV by LaserPants	Aug 11th, 2007 07:04:42 PM
I've never seen the original Japanese version, but I coulda sworn he died and thats why Princess took over the Lion. I don't remember the episode where they meet up with him on an asteroid.

I vote Trans-Zor-Z, BoP, and Starblazers... by lynxpro	Aug 11th, 2007 08:44:11 PM
plus Cowboy Bebop. I never dug RoboTech, but what I would give to see the Argo/Yamato fire up the Wave Motion Gun on some baddies. In a world where Speed Racer is being made into a flick, Trans-Zor-Z needs to be made.
Daniel Alarcon...this is me MRX........ by BLACKNMILD	Aug 11th, 2007 11:42:22 PM
The one thing I've noticed about literary writers is.....they need a second income. They are never called mainstream writers because they can't write for the general public. Who gives a fuck about Peru? Only those who come from Peru. I forced read some of your story and dude you can be assured it will never make it into a movie. You will continue to be hailed by literary enthusiasts but that's the end of your accolades. You will never write the masterpiece because judging from your short stories and your one novel, you are limited. I believe that burns you the most. You know you are limited and that's why you creep around here looking for inspiration. Does it burn you Nightwood aka daniel alarcon that my treatment was passed on to hollywood before the book was finished? I bet it does. Anyhow...for those who have come to my page on myspace.com, I have finished the first draft of the prologue. Yeaaa I lied about that too. The book is only in it's first draft. The treatment was passed on to Viking Press. The treatment was then passed on to my agent in cali. The rest is hush hush. Peace.
