Ape escape
Not content with tackling an island full of rampaging dinos, writer Derek Conolly is leaving Isla Nubar behind and setting sail for Skull Island, home of that most gargantuan of gorillas, the mighty King Kong.
The Jurassic World writer has been brought onboard to hammer the script into shape, offering some last-minute tweaks and rewrites before production on Kong: Skull Island gets under way in October.
The film, greenlit by Legendary Pictures after Godzilla proved audiences will still pay to see a good old fashioned monster flick, will star tsar of Tumblr Tom Hiddleston, as well as Brie Larson and Corey Hawkins. It's a prequel to the original Kong, and follows a crew of hapless explorers who stumble across the great ape's island home.
The picture is being helmed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts and is due to hit our screens in March, 2017.
