Max Makowski, a director of Queer Eye For the Straight Guy and One Last Dance, will be directing a film version of the Japanese animated series, Voltron, according to Latino Review. Makowski’s selection is said to be the equivalent of Zack Snyder directing 300, and that turned out pretty well so something special could happen here.

Voltron is the story of five survivors of an alien attack who unite to save Earth from invaders, able to do so by piloting five lion-shaped robots who form to create Voltron, a sword-wielding badass.

In short: It’s like Transformers but not.
