Red Notice Served, Rawson Marshall Thurber Set to Head a Special Live Action Flick of Iconic Voltron

After giving fans thrilling action scenes and a humor buzz in Red Notice,
director Rawson Marshall Thurber is all set for his next project. And the
project he has signed is something this year is all about. Apparently, a lot of
films announced this year are live-action versions of famous games. The fusion
of the gaming world and cinema is all that people are looking forward to these
days. Hence, Thurber has taken over the responsibility to direct the live-action
version of Voltron.

The Voltron franchise is centered around an animated TV series where a group of
space explorers operates a massive Super Robot referred to as “Voltron”. It
traces its roots back to the year 1984 and was at peak popularity during the
nineties. The makers have decided to bring the nostalgia back in the form of a
live-action version and Thurber has got the opportunity to direct it.

There was a competitive battle among Hollywood studios to secure the rights to
Voltron and all, including Warner Bros., Amazon, and Universal, were in the
race. However, Amazon Studios have successfully acquired the rights to the film.
According to the Hollywood Reporter
[https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/voltron-live-action-movie-1235117594/],
Thurber is not only directing the film, but he will also contribute to
co-writing it. He previously directed the Red Notice for Netflix, which was a
huge hit

While fans are excited about this upcoming live-action Marvel, here is what the
film will show.


WHAT IS THE LIVE-ACTION VOLTRON MOVIE ALL ABOUT?

The upcoming live-action Voltron movie will draw inspiration from the eponymous
character that was first introduced in the 1980s as a kids’ cartoon. The
original adaptation of the show took place in the Japanese anime series Beast
King Go-Lion. However, after dubbing it into English, they later modified it
into the Voltron series.

The movie will revolve around the idea that the galaxy is now a networked place
where the legendary Voltron, a powerful defender of all living things, has
become a symbol of hope and peace for various races. However, the character
remains shrouded in mystery until a team of alliance fighters is sent on a
mission to locate Voltron in the far reaches of space.

version of Voltron: Legendary Defender.
