Legendary Spotlight: Behind the scenes with Legendary Comics' COO Tim Connors

Founded by in 2000, it's the studio behind Inception, The Hangover franchise, and the Clash of the Titans movies—but more to the point, its comic book movie line-up includes the hit 300, Superman Returns, Watchmen and the multi-billion dollar Batman trilogy by Christopher Nolan.

And of course, there's Legendary Comics.
