After reports that Voltron was put into turnaround by New Regency and now backed by Relativity Media, Latino Review has learned who will direct the big screen adaptation. According to the site Max Makowski has been given gift of directing the picture. 

Makowski doesn’t have many films under his belt. His previous credits include 2005’s One Last Dance.

Per Variety:

Fox-based New Regency has put robot project “Voltron: Defender of the Universe” into turnaround.

Ryan Kavanaugh’s financing and production venture Relativity Media is in negotiations to back the property, though on a more moderate budget, utilizing the type of cost-effective technology employed in films including “300.”

The Mark Gordon Co. still is attached to produce “Voltron,” which is based on the popular Japanese animated TV series of the 1980s.

Last summer, New Regency picked up the rights to the property, adapted by scribe Justin Marks, who’s behind Warner Bros.’ bigscreen versions of “He-Man” and “Green Arrow.”

Marks’ take is described as a post-apocalyptic tale set in New York City and Mexico, where five survivors of an alien attack band together and end up piloting the five lion-shaped robots that combine and form the massive sword-wielding Voltron that helps battle Earth’s invaders.
