Nearly 84 years after the debut of Merian C. Cooper’s classic monster movie King Kong, Vogt-Roberts breathed new life into the gargantuan gorilla in March with Kong: Skull Island, which examined the life of the beast in his home setting.
Kong: Skull Island director Jordan Vogt-Roberts has released a sketch of a creepy-looking monster that he hoped to include in his blockbuster film earlier this year.
Twelve years removed from director Peter Jackson’s 2005 remake of the classic King Kong tale, Kong: Skull Island gave fans a much different take on the beast than previous Kong films, as it focused exclusively on Skull Island and the pre-historic creatures that inhabited it, including, of course, King Kong.
While Vogt-Roberts is not directing the Kong: Skull Island follow-up Godzilla vs. Kong, set for release in 2020 (after Godzilla: King of the Monsters in 2019), there’s no doubt that he left huge impressions on the franchise, including the design of the creatures.
