Along with his film company partners, Dark Knight producer Charles Roven is to bring a live-action version of the Japanese anime series to cinemas after the project was dropped by 20th Century Fox last year, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The movie will be based on the '80s children’s programme in which five robot lions formed together as one gigantic super entity known as Voltron. The show also spawned a popular line of toys during its run and has reportedly remained popular with 'fanboys' ever since it went off the air.
"It's undeniably impressive that Voltron has sustained itself globally for a quarter of a century," Roven said.
Atlas Entertainment has an overall deal with Warner Brothers, while it is understood that the project will utilise CGI technology in the tradition of recent box office champ Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen.
