Fantasy Casting: Voltron
The time is right for a live action Voltron: Defender of the Universe movie. We have the technology to make Transformers come to life. How hard could believable robot lions be?
This is a movie that needs backing by a big name Hollywood star. A star like… Keanu Reeves? Maybe. I think he’d make a better space explorer than a space cowboy (Even if he does speak of the pompitous of love).
I’ve been doin’ a little thinking about this very unlikely movie lately. I’m positive that it would be a huge success if the lions were given the right look. I think it’d be better to err on the side of Go-Lion as far as the story goes though. It’s a little darker and more likely to make a good action movie.
Just go through the first couple of episodes for the story.
The Plot
The last survivors of Earth, 5 brave space explorers escape from the slave pits of the evil Zarkon, conqueror of worlds. Led by Keith, played by Keanu Reeves, they make their way to planet Aeris where they discover the legendary robot lions that combine to form Voltron. End the movie with the first successful forming of Voltron and an inspiring win against a fleet of slave ships. There you have it, a movie people will be talking about. If it makes money, you’re set up for a series. If it doesn’t make money, it stands on it’s own.
The question is… Who’d make up the rest of the cast?
Who would you cast?
I can’t make up my mind. Who would you like to see in a live action Voltron movie?
