After years of lounging in development, a live-action feature based on the classic 80's cartoon series "Voltron" is in the works at Atlas Entertainment says The Risky Biz Blog. The series featured a band of five robot-lions who combined to form one super lion. A group of five pilots control the lions, which are charged with defending the planet Arus from villain King Zarkon, who dispatches evil creatures called Robobeats to fight the Voltron robots. Charles Roven, Richard Suckle, Jason Netter, Ted Koplar and Steve Alexander have acquired the rights to the property and will produce.
