Nunnari founded Hollywood Gang in 1997 and has produced 12 films which have generated over $2 billion in worldwide box office. Since 2006, the average worldwide box office of his films is $256 million. Nunnari has deep relationships with A-list talent and major U.S. distributors, having produced films for Twentieth Century Fox, Warner Brothers, Paramount Pictures and Relativity.

Nunnari has a knack for discovering new talent:

• Zack Snyder was hired as director of 300 and went on to direct the SUPERMANreboot – MAN OF STEEL. Zack is currently filming BATMAN VS. SUPERMAN:DAWN OF JUSTICE. Zack is also directly responsible for the DC Comics brand across all of the DC movies Warner Brothers is producing.

•  Henry Cavill, who starred in IMMORTALS and went on to play SUPERMAN in MAN OF STEEL, was given his big break by Nunnari.

In addition, Nunnari brings an innovative approach to producing, exemplified by the ground breaking visual effects created for the film 300. The film, which cost under $100 million when many such titles cost $200 million, involved 1,300 visual effects shots with 500 artists working in facilities around the world in order to create a three- dimensional version of Frank Miller’s award winning graphic novel.
