Sony Pictures Imageworks is on board to work on the 3-D version of "G-Force" -- one of the earliest scheduled live-action digital 3-D releases -- for Jerry Bruckheimer Prods. and Disney.

The Imageworks VFX team on "G-Force" is led by visual effects supervisor Scott Stokdyk, who was the VFX supervisor on "Spider-Man 3" and won an Oscar for visual effects for his work on "Spider-Man 2." The "G-Force" crew in¬cludes digital effects supervisor Seth Maury and animation supervisor Troy Saliba.

For D.J. Caruso's "Eagle Eye," Imageworks' Jim Berney will serve as VFX supervisor with David Smith as digital effects supervisor and Bob Pietzman as CG supervisor.

The "Watchmen" VFX team includes Imageworks' VFX supervisor Pete Travers; digital effects supervisor Dan Krame; and Kenn McDonald, most recently animation supervisor on "Beowulf."

The VFX on the untitled Scott film will be led by Imageworks' Sheena Duggal as visual effects supervisor along with John Monos as CG supervisor.

Rich Hoover will serve as senior visual effects supervisor on "Valkyrie," along with CG supervisors Peter Nofz, Dan Eaton, Theo Bialek and Patrick Witting.

Imageworks' credits include "Hancock," which opens today, as well as "Beowulf" and "The Polar Express."

IOW, the third in Disney's "Talking pet" trilogy, that started with "Underdog", and continued with "Beverly Hills Chihuahua".

(Disney ALWAYS makes the same movie three times, for luck.)

I'm looking forward to this. I don't know really anything about it other than its premise. But I do know the director and creator Hoyt Yeatman.

I expect a very exciting and incredibly inventive movie.
