The movie, starring Tom Hiddleston, Brie Larson, Samuel L Jackson and John Goodman, is a prequel to KING KONG.
According to director Jordan Vogt-Roberts (Kings of Summer), it’ll be a new story within the mythology and will be set in the ’70s during the Vietnam War.
A trip back to the mysterious and dangerous home of the king of the apes, the new film will follow a team of explorers (led by Hiddleston), who venture deep inside the treacherous, primordial island to find the leader’s brother and a mythical serum, confronting extraordinary creatures along the way.
Samuel L. Jackson, Brie Larson, John Goodman, Jing Tian, Corey Hawkins, Jason Mitchell, John Ortiz, Shea Whigham and Toby Kebbell are also set to star in KONG: SKULL ISLAND.Â
Directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts, Kong: Skull Island is scripted by John Gatins and Max Borenstein. Legendary’s John Jashni and Thomas Tull are producing alongside Mary Parent.Â
Legendary has promised that the story will honor the foundations of existing King Kong lore, but will place Skull Island in an entirely new, distinct timeline.
