Biography from TheMovieDB

Kevin R. Wright served as an executive producer on Loki (2021-2023) and former VP of production and development at Marvel Studios. He now produces original film and TV projects independently. Wright was one of the central creative figures behind the Tom Hiddleston-led Loki, which is widely considered to be the crown jewel of Marvel Studios’ Disney+ slate with six Emmy nominations.  Shortly before 9/11, the Philadelphia native delayed his film school ambition to enlist in the U.S. Marine Corps, and he served as a combat correspondent for four years. Upon completing his service, he majored in writing for film and television at Philadelphia’s University of the Arts before graduating as valedictorian. Wright then moved to Los Angeles and interned for a couple of years until a chance meeting and opportunity with Marvel Studios materialised at a time when he was considering abandoning his pursuit. He then steadily climbed the ranks, beginning as a development assistant and then the production and development manager on Doctor Strange (2016). His path to becoming a full-fledged producer on Loki and VP of Production and Development began with an associate producer role on Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018).  Wright crafted a 30-page pitch for Loki (2021-2023) that included many of the future show’s foundational elements, including the Time Variance Authority. The entity proved to be so popular that it transitioned to the big screen in Deadpool & Wolverine (2024).  Wright was also in charge of introducing Hiddleston to his early concepts and potential. At the moment, Hiddleston was happy with his current character journey, which had its roots in Thor (2011). After presenting a compelling argument for immersive 360-degree sets to Marvel executives, the executive even built the foundation for the series' Emmy-nominated production design. In addition to being completed on schedule and below budget, the second season of Loki was among the first Marvel Studios productions—if not the first—to not require any extra photography.

About the Movie Section

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).

Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.

Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)

While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).

Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.

Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
