MarVista Entertainment CEO Fernando Szew sat down with World Screen’s Anna Carugati to discuss growth priorities for the company, the international demand for TV movies and opportunities in the digital space.

MarVista Entertainment recently announced that it is working with IM Global Television to develop, co-produce and co-finance a live-action series that will be set in the King Kong universe. Based on DeVito ArtWorks’ Skull Island property and Merian C. Cooper’s King Kong, the show will be a serialized, contemporary continuation of the classic with a female-led, multi-cultural ensemble that delves into the wonders and horrors of Skull Island and its origins. The show demonstrates MarVista’s commitment to ramping up its slate of TV series, which is a key focus for the company as of late, according to CEO Fernando Szew.
