Legendary just announced at SDCC that they're releasing a prequel to KING KONG called SKULL ISLAND! :)

Legendary surprised the Comic-Con crowd today in Hall H with a new take on the classic monster realm known as Skull Island. The announcement came in the form of a short trailer depicting a harsh, stormy, green land that culminated in the reveal of King Kong howling into the night. The king is back!

Skull Island is of course King Kong’s home, a realm of mystery and monsters. So while Kong is clearly going to be a big part of this film, the approach looks to also be an exploration of the island.

Does it exist in the same universe as Godzilla? It better!

This was the rare true Comic-Con surprise. We don't even know who's writing or directing the film yet, but we do know it has a release date: November 4, 2016.

And also some words from director Jordan Vogt-Robert about designing their version of the monster:


Yep, definitely very ferocious looking!


Same... I'm still preferring PJ's Kong at the moment. However, I think the one above looks more fearsome, but I keep thinking of Bigfoot every time I look at it. :p

Ha, he defo looks like he's doing the Bigfoot walk

I can't wait for this, trailer blew me away

Interesting that Vogt-Robert wanted kids to doodle Kong and that's why he's so simple looking. I do like the way he looks -- the design is close to that of the original 1933 film. I guess it's just that he looks CGI to me whereas Jackson's Kong still used a lot of animatronics alongside the CGI. Another thing is that the design of the 2005 Kong is a design that I could see go up against Godzilla. This one, being very monkey-looking... it's hard to imagine at the moment. Like I said, though, I had to see him in motion.

Yeah but this ones about 10 times bigger than the 2005 long so I can see this one going up against Zilla much easier than Jacksons.

Caught it on tv the other week and thought the same then. He's smaller than I remember

But then this one might be too big lol
Have to wait and see
