Kerry Conran is an American filmmaker. He was born in 1967 in Flint, Michigan and attended the California Institute of Arts. He is the screenwriter and director of Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow and invented the design technology behind it. The film grew out of a six-minute demonstration reel he created on his computer which caught the attention of Hollywood film producer Jon Avnet , who was able to get the movie produced for Paramount Pictures. His brother, Kevin Conran , served as the production designer and costume designer on the movie, which was filmed entirely against bluescreen and takes place in a highly stylized version of the 1930s that was created entirely through computer generated imagery.
Most recently, he was announced to be the director of the film adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs' A Princess of Mars. It is slated to be released sometime in 2006.
