Is Kerry Conran the P.T. Anderson of Sci-Fi?

Flawed though it may have been, Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow was, well… Good golly! It was crazy awesome! It wasn’t flawed at all! It was a work of pure genius. So naturally, visionary director Kerry Conran has vanished from sight. After all, it’s not every day that a complete unknown re-invents a cinematic form. With visual technology of his own devising. And then gets Gwyneth Paltrow attached. So where is he? Last we heard, he’d been kicked off the trapped-in-turnaround John Carter of Mars project at Paramount Disney. Tips to his whereabouts are welcome. Unless he’s retreated to his giant underground lab in the Detroit area to finish building his robot army and plot revenge.
