Latino Review is reporting that Max Makowski has been signed to direct Voltron: Defender of the Universe.

This comes shortly after it was announced that Voltron was indeed still being made (see ‘Voltron’ Movie To Take A Page From ‘300′), only cheaper.

Word is that Makowski is a great choice for the job, even though no one knows who he is. Apparently he had a couple movies at Sundance and one go to Cannes and he’s writing the Hawaii Five-O movie and directing a new Kung-Fu movie, but aside from that, most has been TV work (Queer Eye For The Straight Guy).

As you can imagine, Voltron fanboys are writhing with concern. All the rest of us can do is sit back and see how the new guy does!

Below is the trailer to his movie One Last Dance, which went to Sundance and Cannes, in case you want to see his style-type.
