"Peter Jackson has petitioned the Directors Guild of America to give an “Animation Directed By” credit on KING KONG to the supervisors who helped bring Kong to life, reports David Poland of MOVIE CITY NEWS. However, the animators are not identified by Poland. Joe Letteri and Ben Snow served as visual effects supervisors and Christian Rivers directed the MoCap sessions with Andy Serkis. The DGA has never allowed such a credit before." (requires registration) [More]
