THE SOURCE FOR ALL YOUR VOLTRON NEWS... AND MORE
VOLTRON Interactive Series (2005):
|
UPDATE: MARCH
2005... Things are moving ahead with
the new Voltron series, and Kickstart Entertainment is doing a
fabulous job getting everything in place. To date we have 90% of our
marketing materials ready to go, and we hope within 30 days to begin
presenting to studios, very exciting!
Our
mailboxes have been jammed with emails from fans who are
incredibly anxious to see the new Voltron series on
Television. "When's it coming out?" "Who is producing it?"
"What storylines are going to be included?" "Will we have the
same characters?" "Where will it air?" "Will there be new
toys?"...
Easy there... WEP will be
releasing information about the show in pieces, as soon as each part
is ironed out and approved. Check back here often for updates
as they become available (a phrase almost as dreaded as "wait and
see") but to start off with, here is some
of the information ready to be shared... |

Well... to begin, the new
Voltron series is slated to air in the Fall of 2005... provided we get
a deal with a broadcast buy-in which we will be pitching at MIPCOM
in October. (see related news in the MIPCOM section)
VEIL Technology will be implemented in the program to interact with
new toys created specifically for the show. (these will be awesome!
- along the lines of the Batman toys VEIL will have
this
year)
Kickstart productions will
be the producers of the new series and have announced that the
writers will be Tom Puglsey & Greg Klein (highly acclaimed for
their Kids WB cartoon writing) Selected credits include: "Teen
Titans", "The Batman", "Jackie Chan Adventures", "The Mummy" (and
Secrets of the Medjai) -Just
to name a few...

As to the
questions of what it will look like, and what characters are in it,
and what the storyline is... we'll be sharing it with you when we've
got it all organized and ready for viewing. (so NO... the picture(s)
above might not actually be Voltron at all... or... maybe they
will... it still has to all be shaken out) Currently in
production is the Voltron "bible" for the new episodes/season.
Included are characters, images, storylines, themes, etc.
So... when we've got all our stuff ready... it will be shared with
you here... in the news section and on our online
forum/boards.
We will have
images and animation to show at MIPCOM and then, after the licensors
have seen it, we'll break it to all you, the fans. So... check
by soon for more Voltron-y
goodness! |
