Hollywood has been trying to get a live-action Voltron movie off the ground for quite some time. It would seem that they’re about to take another crack at it as THR has reported that a bidding war has erupted over a Voltron movie set to be directed and co-written by Rawson Marshall Thurber.
The Red Notice director came up with the story for the Voltron movie and will co-write the script alongside Ellen Shanman. A variety of studios and streaming services are in the running for the project, including Warner Bros., Universal, and Amazon. THR says that Netflix isn’t in the mix which is surprising considering that they stream the animated Voltron: Legendary Defender series and Thurber is also developing the Red Notice sequels for them. The basic premise of Voltron is centered around five young pilots whose vehicles join together to form the mega mech known as Voltron.
