It was only last month when we got the good word that J.K. Simmons had been the latest addition to the newly retitled KONG: SKULL ISLAND. Now, Deadline reports that Michael Keaton is finalizing a deal to join the cast. Both Simmons and Keaton will star alongside Tom Hiddleston; you really can't argue with a cast like that. So far, so good. Now we wait and wait some more, I suppose.
KONG: SKULL ISLAND promises to fully immerse audiences in the mysterious and dangerous home of the iconic ape as a team of explorers ventures deep inside the treacherous, primordial island.
Jordan Vogt-Roberts directs from a script written by John Gatins and Max Borenstein, Legendary’s Thomas Tull and Jon Jashni will produce with Alex Garcia, and Eric McLeod is executive producing. Universal Pictures will release the King Kong-inspired film in 3D and IMAX 3D on March 10, 2017.
