Kevin Reynolds
Kevin Reynolds (USA, 1952) debuted with the satirical comedy Fandango (1985), followed by the war movie The Beast (1988) and Robin Hood - Prince of Thieves (1991), that began his collaboration with Kevin Costner. After the exotic period drama Rapa-Nui (1994), co-produced by Costner, Reynolds directed his most important film, the post-apocalyptic Waterworld (1995), also co-produced by Costner and written by Peter Rader, inspired by the Mad Max saga after adapting western movies and gangster movies (and perhaps also Marvel superheroes) to dystopian science fiction. Much is implausible in the story but so is most science fiction. The 1997 version shown on television contains an extra 40 minutes. Other versions were show at different times on different TV channels. The 171-minute "Ulysses cut" made by a fan in 2008 is the longest existing version of the film. •
