Production – What we know about the Kong: Skull Island

Key Facts

Being filmed across three continents over six months, capturing its primordial landscapes on Oahu, Hawaii
Warner Bros. will distribute the film in 3D and IMAX 3D on March 10, 2017.
Monarch, the human organization that uncovered Godzilla in the 2014 film, will expand their mission across multiple releases.
The film moved from Universal Pictures to Warner Bros. Pictures in September 2015. The expectation is future Kong films may cross over with Godzilla films, which Warner owns the sequel rights. This was confirmed on October 14, 2015 with the announcement of a new shared cinematic franchise universe featuring a 2020 film, Godzilla vs. Kong. All-powerful monsters become towering heroes for a new generation, revealing a mythology that brings together Godzilla and Legendary’s King Kong in an ecosystem of other giant super-species, both classic and new.
Screenwriter Derek Connolly was just brought in for rewrites as the film heads toward a late-October production start in Hawaii (Hollywood Reporter, 8/25/15).
