And probably also bidding for the toy license. No wonder Netflix is passing on this one.
A Voltron "Live action"......
Rated "R" would work ;^)
Pacific Rim didn't do too well for WB, So even if it's indeed great movie I doubt it will do more than break even.
"Live action." Yeah, that always turns out well.
