Headhunter's Calling

To do that, Voltage has to stay nimble. “We greenlight films as fast as anybody,” says Deckter. Case in point is The Headhunter’s Calling: “We got the script about a year ago, we read it over the weekend and immediately engaged. We had a deal done within the week, were in Toronto two weeks later launching the movie and were rolling cameras six weeks after that.”

Crucial to the deal was producer Craig Flores, president of Voltage Productions, who had worked as an executive producer on 300 and knew Butler. “[Director] Mark Williams and Gerard came to myself and Nicolas with this Black List script they’d had for a while,” Flores says. “That’s where Nicolas and myself help these film-makers — very few of our competitors can greenlight a movie under $20m faster than us. The greenlight committee is very small and there’s a lot of informed decision-making but a good appetite for risk on the right project. On a picture-by-picture basis, we [may] collaborate with other equity, but the initial greenlight comes internally.”
