In a push to bring a once premier visual effects facility back to its former glory and open a new video game facility in the process, Michael Bay's Digital Domain has lured three key execs away from George Lucas' Industrial Light + Magic. The 13-year-old visual effects studio -- bought in May by Bay through the private investment firm Wyndcrest Holdings -- has recruited ILM's Mark Miller, Cliff Plumer and Kim Libreri to lead its feature visual effects efforts and build a video game shop. A 22-year veteran of ILM, Miller will take the reins as president of the new Digital Domain, reporting to CEO Carl Stork. Plumer, the mastermind behind ILM's state-of-the-art digital production facility at the Presidio in San Francisco, has joined as Digital Domain's chief technology officer. Libreri, a leading visual effects supervisor on films ranging from The Matrix trilogy to Poseidon, has joined the Venice-based studio as vp advanced strategy.
