Chris Lee to Stay in Hawaii

Variety already reported that Chris Lee was walking away from his post as the creative chief of Legendary Pictures, but it did not report that Lee was planning to stay in Hawaii to further develop the film school that he started. The Honolulu Advertiser reports that Lee has many aspirations for the fledgling Academy for Creative Media under UH Manoa, as well as for indigenous filmmaking and the local film and video game industries. Lee, who is currently producing "Superman Returns," will also continue to produce or executive produce films on a freelance basis.
