'Voltron' Movie Not Happening

Voltron has been unplugged. The hopes for a live-action (and heavily CGI) movie based on the popular anime series won't be happening, according to Screen Rant. In its place, World Events Productions and Classic Media, which hold the rights to the property, are preparing to launch a new animated TV show and a line of toys, which probably would have happened had the movie gone through, anyway. The Voltron flick had been stewing for a while and most recently, it was announced that a new director (Max Makowski, who is not ringing any bells) would handle the reboot, with Justin Marks writing the script. Since Marks recently worked on Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li, how could it miss, I ask you? And like both Chun-Li and Dragonball: Evolution, Fox was tapped to distribute the film. Again, how could that miss? So maybe it's for the best that the movie has been shelved. Permanently? At least in this incarnation, apparently so. Fox handed it over to Relativity, which tried to the lower the budget, but "was not able to get the project off the ground" before the option on the property expired and now the companies that have the rights have pulled up stakes. Would it have worked? Hard to say, but I wouldn't predict another Transformers-scale success just because it looks like it could be similar.
