Look for John’s work in Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian, The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, Evan Almighty, The Chronicles of Riddick, The Day After Tomorrow, Looney Tunes: Back in Action, Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas, 2 Fast 2 Furious, Treasure Planet, Little Nicky, Bless the Child, Mission to Mars, Bicentennial Man, Godzilla, Kull the Conqueror, Mimic, George of the Jungle, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Transformers: Dark of the Moon, Tron: Legacy, and Batman & Robin.
And did we mention that John will be your Maya workshop instructor?
