We just got word that the previously titled SKULL ISLAND will now be known as, KONG: SKULL ISLAND. And instead of seeing a release on November 4, 2016, Legendary Pictures have opted to push the film to Friday, March 10, 2017. 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.
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.
