As if the 80?s weren?t bad enough?

[INDENT]Fox-based New Regency has put robot project “Voltron: Defender of the Universe” into turnaround.

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.”

Last summer, New Regency picked up the rights to the property, adapted by scribe Justin Marks, who’s behind Warner Bros.’ bigscreen versions of “He-Man” and “Green Arrow.”

Marks’ take is described as a post-apocalyptic tale set in New York City and Mexico, where five survivors of an alien attack band together and end up piloting the five lion-shaped robots that combine and form the massive sword-wielding Voltron that helps battle Earth’s invaders.

[/INDENT] Oh my god STOP!!!!! Anyone my age (a youthful 34, fuckers) would remember that Voltron was FUCKING HORRIBLE. Oh ok, so let’s REMAKE IT?! I don’t care if they use the coolest technology in the world, you can’t put a dress on SHIT and take it to the prom!!!

I actually had to google this - but I always thought that the lead singer was Milton Berle's nephew. In fact, Milton was the BAND MANAGER's uncle.

Ahhh, the wonders of google.
