Universal and Legendary announces "King Kong" prequel Can't Post

From ComingSoon.net...


Quote
Today in Hall H, Legendary also revealed it will be making a feature film based on the famed Skull Island, the cinematic origins of another classic beast, King Kong. Previous works have touched on the island, but staying and exploring this mysterious and dangerous place offers Legendary the opportunity to take audiences deeper inside this rich world with a style and scope that parallels other Legendary productions. The film will be released on November 4, 2016.

While I'm betting that PJ will have nothing to do with this film, I wonder if Andy Serkis will play Kong again.

Maybe Serkis will direct. [In reply to] Can't Post

I really can't see him following Planet of the Apes with Animal Farm (which it appears this episode of Planet borrowed heavily from).

That would be so great! [In reply to] Can't Post

Andy to possibly direct the KK sequel is intriguing to think about. Although... he could skip doing Animal Farm imho. ;)

Hmmm... [In reply to] Can't Post

Is it just coincidence that Legendary Pictures is making both this and the current Godzilla films? I hope that we aren't heading for a remake of King Kong Vs. Godzilla! For one thing, Kong would have to be a lot bigger.

Actually... [In reply to] Can't Post

I got the impression that he would move forward with WB's Jungle Book before Animal Farm. I don't believe he's said anything to that effect, so that is only my opinion.

Unless you've heard that he is going on to AF first, of course.

Does anyone else find it funny... [In reply to] Can't Post

2 years after the final LOTR movie, we got King Kong.

2 years after the final Hobbit movie (notably prequels to LOTR), we're getting a prequel to King Kong.
