Continuing our coverage of Hollywood adapting anime titles, the guys over at Latino Review have managed to get their hands on the script for the upcoming live-action Voltron: Defenders of the Universe movie. & believe it or not, they really, really liked it. So much so that they gave the script an A+.
Now while Latino Review has shown an interest in anime in the past, they are far from being considered an anime fanboy site. So the fact that they liked the script really means something. Their actual review of the thing is quite long & extensive, but here's a short excerpt that'll give you a general idea of what they thought- & what to expect of the film:
What is so damn cool about the script is that it pays homage to both incarnations of the Voltron cartoon – the American and Japanese versions. GOLION came out back in 1981 in Japan, three years later in America. GOLION was considered too hardcore for American audiences so it was edited down into what would be VOLTRON. Wikpedia nailed down the differences of Voltron and Golion in an awesome article and expose of the Voltron phenomenon, check it out.
The script has the tone, edge and dark elements of GOLION.
VOLTRON is a post apocalyptic movie and a fucking awesome one at that too. Just the way it should be because that was the setup of both cartoons. A little bit of ROAD WARRIOR, a little bit INDEPENDENCE DAY, a little bit WAR OF THE WORLDS, a little bit of ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK, a little bit of THE TERMINATOR, and a little bit of THE MATRIX with some STARGATE thrown in for good measure!
