Boaz Davidson, a renowned figure in the film industry, has been the Head of Development and Creative Affairs for Millennium Films since 1992. His tenure at the firm and its parent company, Nu Image, Inc., spans over three decades, with his professional journey beginning in 1979 when he moved to the United States.
Born in Tel Aviv, Israel, Davidson's passion for filmmaking led him to London Film School, where he earned his degree. He then joined Cannon Films, overseeing production on notable titles such as Going Bananas, Delta Force, American Cyborg, Salsa, and the American version of Lemon Popsicle, titled The Last American Virgin.
The Israeli and American versions of Lemon Popsicle have since become cult classics, with the original film premiering at the Berlin Film Festival and receiving the Panorama Audience Award. This success paved the way for Davidson's future projects, including writing, directing, and producing films such as Looking for Lola, Shadrach, and The Big Brass Ring.
In 1992, Davidson co-founded Nu Image, Inc. and played a pivotal role in establishing the independent studio. He continued to write, direct, and produce films, including Looking for Lola, Shadrach, and The Big Brass Ring. In 1996, Nu Image formed Millennium Films, where Davidson has overseen the development and production of numerous films and upcoming projects.
Some of his notable works include The Expendables, Rambo IV, Righteous Kill, 16 Blocks, The Mechanic, and Brooklyn's Finest, as well as forthcoming pictures such as The Expendables 2, The Iceman, The Big Wedding, Playing the Field, and The Paperboy, which was an official selection at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival.
