Last week we reported that Relativity Media was in talks to develop the big-screen adaptation of “Voltron,” and believe it or not, the film now has a director.

LatinoReview announced earlier that Max Makowski is the man directing the action flick, which is based on the famous Japanese animated TV series that kicked off in the early 1980s.

Don’t know who Max Makowski is? Well I don’t blame you, because he’s not exactly the kind of director you hear about in the news every week (at least not yet).

If you head over to IMDb, you’ll see that Makowski directed 2005’s “One Last Dance.” For more on his career, head over to LatinoReview.

As far as the plot is concerned, “Voltron” centers on a post-apocalyptic adventure in which five survivors of an alien attack gather to pilot the five robot lions that combine and form the powerful Voltron.

The project is described as using the kind of technology we’ve seen in Zack Snyder’s “300.”
