Legendary Pictures just sent over word that their new giant monster film Skull Island has a new title and even a new release date! I can almost smell a brewing fight with Godzilla on the horizon! We’ll be finding out who the KING of the monsters is soon enough!
From the Press Release:
Legendary’s SKULL ISLAND has been retitled KONG: SKULL ISLAND and will move from November 4, 2016, to Friday, March 10, 2017. The film will be released in 3D and IMAX 3D by Universal Pictures.
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, upcoming Warcraft) will produce, and Alex Garcia (Godzilla) will executive produce.
