Kong: Skull Island reimagines the origin of the mythic Kong in a compelling, original adventure from director Jordan Vogt-Roberts.

It was previously said that Kong: Skull Island will feature the largest King Kong ever, and now we get an idea on just how big the great ape will be.
EW.com debuted the above Kong: Skull Island which features the skull of a giant ape as well as Tom Hiddleston and Brie Larson amidst the boneyard.
“From the size of the skull, you can tell that things on this island are much bigger than audiences are used to with traditional Kong lore,” director Jordan Vogt-Roberts offers. “Our Kong is by far the biggest Kong that you’ve seen on screen, and that translates to a lot of different things on the island.”
Vogt-Roberts continues with mention of specifics regarding the size of the new King Kong, but only teases it’s “much larger” than previous versions.
“In terms of actual size, our Kong is by far the biggest Kong,” he explains. “Peter Jackson’s Kong was around 25 feet. The ‘33 Kong ranged between 25 feet and 50 feet, I want to say he was 50-plus feet when he was on the Empire State Building. He varied in size dramatically! The ’70s Kong was somewhere between them.”
Plot details are also made known as well as Hiddleston and Larson’s characters:
“The film takes place in the ’70s,” he explains. “The ’70s was a time where it was believable that we could still be confronted with myth. And there was still unknown in the world.” At the start of the decade, NASA launched a satellite program later known as LANDSAT, which involved satellites mapping the world from space – the end of that “unknown.” In the film, “this island pops up,” leading the characters to investigate.
Hiddleston plays an ex-British SAS tracker; Larson is a war photographer, “who’s seen all sorts of terrible, terrible things.” Vogt-Roberts avoids any specific details about what they find on the island, but he’s adamant about what they don’t find. “We’re very explicitly not telling the beauty and the beast story,” he says. “The original is a classic, the ’70s version is great for what it is, and Peter’s version is a great retelling of the 1933 film.”
“The thing that most interested me was, how big do you need to make [Kong], so that when someone lands on this island and doesn’t believe in the idea of myth, the idea of wonder – when we live in a world of social and civil unrest, and everything is crumbling around us, and technology and facts are taking over – how big does this creature need to be, so that when you stand on the ground and you look up at it, the only thing that can go through your mind is: ‘That’s a god.’” Pretty big, we’re guessing? “You will see when we drop a trailer,”
Look for more about Kong: Skull Island at next week’s Comic-Con.

It’s on!
Legedary Entertainment and Warner Bros. will be pitting Godzilla vs. King Kong on the big screen.
Deadline reports Thomas Tull is moving King Kong: Skull Island to Warner Bros. to eventually pair the two behemoths in a movie following each property’s respective films.
It’s reported the Gozilla sequel that is currently in the works will be followed by a movie that features the King of the Monsters taking on the giant prehistoric ape.
It’s said the move is happening very quickly with Toho on board as well.
Skull Island is due out March 10, 2017 with the next Godzilla movie slated for June 8, 2018, so best guess is Godzilla vs. King Kong looks to come out 2019 or 2020.
[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21193:]]
It’s learned that both Michael Keaton and JK Simmons have exited Legendary’s King Kong Skull Island movie.
Deadline cites scheduling issues as the reason.
Michael Keaton was recently named on a new comic book movie with Imagine Agents, in which he will both star and produce.
J.K. Simmons, current starring in Terminator: Genisys, is a fan hopeful to return to the Spider-Man franchise as J. Jonah Jameson, and interestingly enough, this follows the news of Marvel announcing Tom Holland as Spider-Man. Obviously, the two may not be connected, but at least there is some hope there.
Tom Hiddleston is still on board Skull Island.
Kong: Skull: Island has a March 10, 2017 directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts with a script by John Gatins and Max Borenstein.
Synopsis:
In the spirit of its worldwide blockbuster Godzilla, Legendary Pictures presents a bold new take on the mythos of another iconic beast with Kong: Skull Island, which stars Tom Hiddleston (The Avengers and Thor series).
Directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts (The Kings of Summer) and written by John Gatins(Flight) and Max Borenstein (Godzilla), Kong: Skull Island will fully immerse audiences in the mysterious and dangerous home of the king of the apes as a team of explorers ventures deep inside the treacherous, primordial island. Legendary’s story honors the foundations of existing King Kong lore, but places it in an entirely new, distinct timeline.
Thomas Tull (Godzilla, The Dark Knight, Pacific Rim) and Jon Jashni (Godzilla, Warcraft) will produce and Alex Garcia (Godzilla) will executive produce. The film will be released in 3D and IMAX 3D by Universal Pictures.

Coming off a stellar performance in Birdman, it’s learned Michael Keaton is in talks for the new King Kong movie Skull Island.
It’s not presently known what the role is about, but if Keaton and Legendary can make a deal, Keaton would join J.K Simmons and Tom Hiddleston.
