King Kong is getting a reboot on the big screen in 2017, with the theatrical release of Kong: Skull Island.
King Kong was previously brought to life on the big screen through digital effects and mo-cap performance in director Peter Jackson’s 2005 King Kong movie, where Planet of the Apes franchise star Andy Serkis played Kong.
There are glimpses of Kong throughout the teaser trailer for Kong: Skull Island that Warner Bros. Pictures debuted at the 2016 San Diego Comic-Con this past summer.
