Vogt-Roberts’ Kong: Skull Island grossed over $545 million worldwide and is part of Legendary’s monsterverse. The movie was a major leap from his debut, the 2013 coming-of-age indie The Kings of Summer, which premiered at Sundance. The director, repped by UTA and 3 Arts Entertainment, also helmed the pilot for FX’s You’re the Worst and is attached to adapt the video game Metal Gear Solid for Sony.
Jordan’s Outlier Society, which has a first-look deal at Warner Bros., recently set up an adaptation of the fantasy Black Leopard, Red Wolf, and it co-produced the Emmy-nominated adaptation of Fahrenheit 451 for HBO Films.
Next up for New Regency is Ad Astra, the Brad Pitt sci-fi movie.
