EAGLE ONE
MEDIA TO
PRODUCE SET
OF VOLTRON
DVD BASED ON
COMICS
January 29,
2007,
Macomb, MI.
Eagle One
Media, Inc.
is proud to
announce it
has acquired
the
licensing
rights from
World Events
Productions
to produce a
set of DVD
adventures
based on the
Voltron:
Defender of
the Universe
property for
the retail
market. The
proposed
DVDs will
utilize the
published
content from
the popular
Voltron
comic books
as produced
by Devil’s
Due
Publishing
and will be
presented in
the form of
an Eagle One
Media
animated
digital
comic
production.
An Eagle One
Media
animated
digital
comic
production
utilizes the
actual
artwork and
story
content from
a series of
comic books,
generally 5
to 7 issues
in length,
and with the
addition of
animation,
motion-style
techniques,
character
voice-over,
music, and
special
effects,
creates a
fact-paced,
entertaining
“feature
film” that
can be
watched on
any video
device. Each
animated
digital
comic
production
has a run
time of 75
to 100
minutes and
can be found
at your
local DVD
retailer.
“Voltron
fans
worldwide
are sure to
enjoy these
unique
adventures,”
commented
Eric
Reichert,
President of
Eagle One
Media, Inc.
“These DVDs
will have
more
animation
and action
then our
previous
releases and
each DVD
will contain
two versions
of the
adapted
comic book
story for
fans to
enjoy. One
version will
show the
traditional
word
balloons on
screen as
the dialog
is spoken
during the
video play
much like a
comic, while
the other
version will
have the
word
balloons
removed so
fans can see
more of the
action and
more of the
wonderfully
drawn and
animated
scenes on
the screen.”
The first
action-packed
Voltron DVD,
titled
Voltron:
Defender of
the Universe
-
Revelations,
will be
released in
June 2007
with a
suggested
retail price
of $19.99.
To secure
the widest
retail
release for
the DVDs,
Eagle One
Media
anticipates
securing an
agreement
with an
established
animation
DVD
distributor
in the near
future.
Released in
1984,
Voltron:
Defender of
the Universe
quickly
skyrocketed
to be the
number one
children's
program in
the United
States and
around the
world.
Merchandising
rapidly
followed
with more
than 100
different
Voltron
products on
store
shelves
around the
world.
With the
renewed
interest
worldwide
and recent
success of
resurrected
superheroes
from the
1980's,
Voltron has
launched its
global
return. A
Voltron
comic book
is on
shelves as
well as a
collectible
toy line, an
apparel
line, and a
DVD
collection.
The show
also airs
daily on
Cartoon
Network, a
move that is
sure to
please fans
and kids
alike. In
addition,
World Event
Productions
is working
on a new
interactive
Voltron
series, the
release of
the
first-ever
Voltron OVA,
and a
Voltron
movie is
soon to be
announced.
