He is well-known for his film The Kings of Summer when it was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival.
His latest movie, “Kong: Skull Island” demonstrated a group of explorers going into the jungle to discover the existence of the lord of giant apes.
Vietnam is one of the three sites selected for filming, the others are Hawaii and Australia, due to its unspoiled and spectacular natural scenes.
Scenes in the movie were shot in Trang An, Van Long, and Tam Coc in Ninh Binh Province; the Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park, Rao Nan River, and Yen Phu Lake in Quang Binh Province; and Ha Long Bay in Quang Ninh Province.
