Neil Marshall is headed to Skull Island! According to The Tracking Board, Marshall, the man who gifted us with DOG SOLDIERS and THE DESCENT, is in line to direct and co-write an adaptation of Joe Devito and Brad Strickland's Based on Joe DeVito and Brad Strickland’s 2004 graphic novel KONG: KING OF SKULL ISLAND.
So while this isn't exactly a direct sequel to any of the KING KONG films that have come before, this can still be considered a brand new Kong film. Evidently the graphic novel was based on the original novel that inspired the all-time classic film. (It was also authorized by the estate of original KING KONG director Merian C. Cooper.) Pretty exciting!
