 Creature Features is hosting a multi-media exhibit to celebrate the release of Kong: Skull Island. The event opens March 4th and runs through March 12 in Burbank, California. Check out the event info below. Creature Features celebrates KING KONG—and this spring's biggest arrival, KONG: SKULL ISLAND from Legendary Pictures—with this multi-media gallery exhibit showcasing works from artists in the fields of film, television, fine art, comics, children’s book illustration, and more! KING KONG debuted in 1933, courtesy of Merian C. Cooper & Ernest P. Schoedsack, coupled with Willis O'Brien's landmark stop-motion FX. The unforgettable "Eighth Wonder of the World" left a profound impression on generations of fans and filmmakers, manifesting itself in dozens of Kong-inspired movies and TV shows through the years. From its own sequel, SON OF KONG, to Toho's Kaiju versions, Rankin/Bass' animated TV show in 1966, Dino De Laurentiis' 1976 version, to Peter Jackson's glorious homage in 2005, Kong has proved the public's unending appetite for the affectionate ape. And, opening on May 10th, Legendary introduces Kong to a whole new generation with its exciting take on the age-old mythos, directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts and starring Tom Hiddleston, Brie Larson, Samuel L. Jackson, John Goodman and John C. Reilly. Headlined by renowned artist, adventurer and passionate KING KONG aficionado William Stout, the show will also feature dozens of prestigious artists paying homage to whichever relevant version left an impression on them throughout the past 80+ years. Artists include: Nathan Anderson Brent Armstrong Ted Blackman Tim Cahill Andy Carey Anthony Carpenter Lee Copeland Ricardo Delgado Frank Dietz John Eaves Jeff Farley Wolf Forrest Matthew Gallagher James Groman Kenneth J. Hall Lori Herbst Nikolas Ilic Emma Julia Jacobs Benton Jew Phil Joyce Neil McLean Smokin' Joe McWilliams Jonathan Morrill Studio Murugiah Daniel Nash Eric October Leah Olbrich Jeff Preston Alex Quintero Scott Ramirez MP Raymond Michael Reagan Stephen Sandoval Jenn Shieh Cecil Skaluba Javier Soto Ethan Spaulding Mark Tavares Jed Thomas Pete Von Sholly Zack Wallenfang Woody Welch Trevor Zammit And more!
