Voltron Movie Gets a Director
Sci-Fi Movie News, Voltron (2010) Movie — By Nix on August 28, 2008
Max Makowski. What? Who? Who the hell is Max Makowski? He’s the guy who is going to be directing the “Voltron” live-action big-screen movie, that’s who. At least, according to the guys over at Latino Review, who have been right on this Voltron stuff all along, so I’m definitely not saying they might even be wrong here. Okay, so Max Makowski is going to direct the “Voltron” movie, which is already moving forward, with the studio planning to shoot it ala Zack Snyder’s “300″ — i.e. tons and tons of green screen work. Which is fine with me. I don’t think they could have possibly made this thing on practical effects, not with the sheer amount of effects they would need for all the giant robot lions and especially when they form the big robot guy.
Here’s Latino Review with more on the previously unknown Max Makowski:
Max Makowski was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil but has lived all over the world in countries such as England, the Philippines, Peru, Bahrain, the U.S.A, Germany, Cuba, and Hong Kong where he became a director, producer, writer, editor, and cameraman for Salon Films as well as CNBC and NBC Asia – where he also produced the TODAY SHOW for the Asian market. Max’s credits include the movies The Pigeon Egg Strategy (premiered at The Sundance Film Festival in 1998), One Last Dance (premiered at The Sundance Film Festival in 2006 and went on to Cannes), and television series Queer Eye for the Straight Guy (2003) and The Agency (2005). He is also working on writing and directing a Universal film based on the Japanese movie Shinobi, a Studio Canal film based on Le Professionnel, and he has rewritten the screenplay for the bigscreen version of Hawaii Five-O. Max also will direct the bigscreen adaptation of the 1970s TV series Kung Fu which revolved around a Shaolin monk forced to flee to the Wild West, where he used his martial arts skills to fend off various evildoers.
But never mind all that. To sum it up: he’s the dude who is going to be directing the “Voltron” movie, so if he fubars it, you know who to blame.
