Universal Adapts Live-Action 'Voltron' Film; David Hayter Scripting

Universal Pictures has picked up from the DreamWorks Animation deal, a live-action Voltron film that is being scripted by David Hayter, the X-Men and Watchmen scribe who is also dialed into the fanboy set as the voice of Solid Snake in the English versions of the Metal Gear Solid franchise. Tom Engelman is producing.

Universal has no comment on the project since it began at DreamWorks Animation but the studio will get a script draft and make decisions, but it certainly has the branded franchise potential that is catnip to major studios.
