  1. A role that slipped away

    In 2013, Peter Jackson, who directed the 2005 King Kong remake, offered Wingard the project Skull Island. Jackson had been impressed by Wingard's You're Next and looked into a sequel, but Universal Pictures rights were abandoned because Warner Bros had acquired film rights.

  2. A first

    Wingard made his second feature, the ghost story Pop Skull, for a total budget of $2,000, and it premiered internationally at the Rome Film Festival and domestically at the AFI Film Festival in 2007.
