Disney + is developing a live-action King Kong series that will explore the origin of the legendary creature. The series is said to be “a serialized drama that would explore Kong’s origins and the mysteries of his home, Skull Island”.
The project will be based on the original King Kongwhich was written by Merian C. Cooper as well as the artist’s new novels Joe De Vito. The series is produced in collaboration with the Cooper property.
The show will be written and produced by Stefania Folsomwho recently developed the Amazon series Paper girls. Other manufacturers on the King Kong series include James Wan, Michele Chiaro And Rob Hackett.
King Kong made his big debut in the 1933 classic film, and Legendary Pictures recently played with the giant creature in films such as Kong: Skull Islandwhich I liked, and Godzilla vs. Kong, which I didn’t like. Oh, and how not to mention Peter Jacksonis the 2005 remake with Adrian Brody, Black JackAnd Noemi Watt.
Netflix is currently developing a Skull Island anime series and Apple is working on another giant monster series called Godzilla and the Titanswhat stars Kurt Russell and his son Wyatt Russell. Disney + ‘s King Kong series will in no way be related to that show.
I have no idea what to expect from this King Kong series, but I hope it’s good! I definitely didn’t expect to see a King Kong series on Disney +! I’d much rather see live-action Tron series.
