King Kong Skull Island to feature contemporary, female-led multicultural ensemble.
MarVista Entertainment and Im Global Television have partnered to develop, co-produce and co-finance a contemporary television series reinvention of King Kong.
Jonathan Penner and Stacy Title are attached to write and serve as executive producers on King Kong Skull Island.

Superhero World Builder Francois Audouy has left his creative fingerprints on a startling array of seminal sci-fi and comic book-derived properties (along with more conventional movies), beginning by working in the art departments on films like Men in Black I and II, Spider-Man 1 and 2, Minority Report, I Am Legend and Avatar, then as art director for Transformers, Watchmen and Green Lantern, and ultimately as production designer on Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter and The Wolverine....

Where the architects of Inception used their minds, this guy puts in the hard work of digitally painting by hand right down to the last detail. It’s a showcase of visual effects, and the man’s reason for making sure every last flower petal is right is ultimately as sweet as it is heartbreaking. What Will It Cost? Just 9 minutes of your time. Does it get better any better than that? Check out World Builder for yourself: World Builder (2007) Written and Directed By: Bruce Branit Visual Effects By: Bruce Branit Starring: Brian Paulette and Erin McGrane Trust us.
