Yes, you guessed it (and you might not like it)

The poster of "Kong: Skull Island', which will hit the theaters on March 10, will disappoint those who have seen Peter Jackson's take on "King Kong". There's no doubt that Legendary Pictures is keen on a reboot, but it's not what you're thinking. The studio honchos have "King Kong vs. Godzilla" (1962) in mind. It will be a remake of Ishirō Honda's box-office hit, and younger moviegoers are unfamiliar of Toho Films.

Legendary Pictures already started their grand plan, with Gareth Edwards's decent remake of "Godzilla" shown a few years ago. Nonetheless, fans would wonder if there should be a need to film "King Kong" one more time. Both Jackson and Dino De Laurentiis, who produced the 1976 version, were fascinated at the premise. Radio Pictures, which produced (and distributed) the original picture, thought of a fantastic premise to divert the public from the Great Depression. Edgar Wallace's story might be based on the lost continent of Zealandia. In case you don't have a clue, scientists found out that New Zealand was sitting atop a continent. It met their criteria for a continent. (Distinctive geology, well-defined area, crust much thicker than what was found on the ocean floor.) Some would contradict this hypothesis but think again. There wasn't the Internet back then. The remote areas of the world were far from the nearest communities. And the pulp authors of yesteryear based their Adventure novellas from old wives tales, if not strange stories extracted from oral tradition. Are you still following? Good.

Wallace was a true film buff, as he considered a filmmaker down his luck and an aspiring actress who was resigned to not getting her big break. It happened that most of Kong Island was submerged, and what remained to stay long for this duo (and their motley crew) to set foot on it. The Londoner, who wrote thrillers for a living, found sources that Kong Island was located in modern-day Indonesia. It lured European navigators, who wanted to make big bucks from the spices. Prehistoric animals were lured to Kong as well. Could the gigantic gorilla be the magnet (that attracted these creatures)? Perhaps. There would be a price for everything, as the hard-lucked director and actress found out (the hard way).

Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack, who co-directed the original version of "King Kong", saw New York as another island on the verge of sinking into oblivion. The Old World romanticism was long gone, as personified in King Kong's desperate attempt to stay on top of the Empire State Building. Jackson thought of ice skating in Central Park (between the gorilla and the damsel in distress), which backfired on him. It was hard to guess that there was something more between the two, but De Laurentiis thought of it (after seeing Jessica Lange). Brie Larson's character could be far from the damsel in distress, as the trailer would show to the audience. Expect another unsettling message on the environment. And don't be surprised if King Kong found himself on the West Coast. Whether you like it or hate it, it is what it is. More to come.
