So begins Max Martin’s quest to rescue his family, control his time travel ability and save himself from destruction.

Director's Statement:

This script grabbed my attention immediately as it has all the elements that excite me as a filmmaker-unique world, fresh concept, distinctive action, a singular character perspective and themes of love, redemption, revenge and family. In my previous work like Lucky Number Slevin and Gangster No.1, the strength has always been in a strong lead character that a filmmaker can filter the world through. Max is an ordinary man who will be familiar to an audience-9 to 5 job, kids, suburban living but the most important connection is what he would do to save his family. This is a universal instinct. I think that was the most powerful element that made Taken such an intoxicating and successful movie – the primal instinct in protecting the family.
This script also has at its core, a very powerful concept that straddles the world of sci-fi and comic book. It has a very strong story arc, that places our hero in a familiar world, but by the time the film finishes, he is reborn with an extraordinary power. He is also being primed for future government covert assignments.
