Godzilla vs. Kong director reveals plans for abandoned King Kong sequel in 2005

Long before he was hired to direct “ Godzilla vs Kong, ” Adam Wingard revealed to Yahoo Entertainment that he almost made a sequel to “ King Kong, ” directed by Peter Jackson in 2005.

The filmmaker said he was selected by Jackson to direct the feature film, until then titled “ Ilha da Caveira, ” at the time.

However, the plot produced by Univeral Pictures would be completely different from “ Kong: Skull Island, ” directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts in 2017.

“I almost made a movie called ‘Ilha da Caveira’ … It would be a plot that unfolds today, very different from what we saw in ‘Kong: Ilha da Skullira’ … But the idea was rejected and I followed, ”he said.

Luckily for Wingard, producer Mary Parent, who was vice president of production for Universal Pictures, ended up taking over the same role at Legendary Entertainment, the company that created MonsterVerse.

Wingard’s passion for Kong’s story ultimately led to him being asked to work on the franchise’s final film.

“I remember Mary talking about my idea for ‘Skull Island’ and she said it would be awesome. I don’t remember the script very well, just a few details. It would be these days and there was an opening in which the characters were in a museum … At the end of the scene, it is revealed that the museum kept King Kong’s gigantic skeleton. It was like a relic from the past and Skull Island would be a bit of a myth and no one knew what was going on there. Somehow these characters would come back there and the plot would unfold from there.
