Word from ICv2 is that the Voltron movie is tossing the scripts out and the director has left the building. Back to square one. From ANN, a previous lawsuit found that former Toei character designer Kazuo Nakamura "may posess rights" to GoLion. There's already been a couple of lawsuits, can you see more on the horizon? I'm not eagerly waiting for this movie now, I want it to die. If made with these players, it will be bad. Not good bad either. Let it rest in pieces for a few years and see if anyone else will be able to put it together. But if you really need a dose of "new" Voltron, don't worry. The new animated series that ". . . will feature an expanded interracial team that will do battle with the classic villains returning from the original Voltron series" is still scheduled for Nicktoons. Feh.
All I can say is thank you Media Blasters for GoLion and Dairugger.

"an expanded interracial team"
Ted Turner's "Captain Planet" already did this one-better in the 1990s, IIRC.
Just wait for that Robotech movie to run up against the Macross rights holders...
