Voltron is a go, producers hired

Does anyone remember Voltron? The 1980's cartoon about five pilots who command machines, which combine into one huge robot! The news that Voltron is becoming a movie came out months ago. We're still young at AtD so we're just now reporting this. The Hollywood Reporter states that producers have been hired for the project. Charles Roven, Richard Suckle and Steve Alexander have been brought on board. The trio has produced movies like Get Smart, The International and The Dark Knight. A decent list if I'd say so!

Sony Pictures owns the rights to the movie, and I doubt they'll let it go. The challenge now is, how to make a movie different from Transformers and The Power Rangers? I seriously don't have the answer. Does anyone have any suggestions? Please voice your opinion in the comment section.
