While we still wonder what didn’t make it into the revised version of King Kong’s latest journey, it’s nice to know that the revisions were allowed to keep the film as fun and thrilling as it had always planned on being.
So with such a large detail/plot point being dumped in the overhauling of Jordan Vogt-Roberts’ tenure on the making of Kong: Skull Island, anything could have been up for grabs.
In an industry where the slightest set of notes could derail a big ticket project, this is a triumph for the creative side of the aisle.
Yet despite all possible odds of that scene making it into the film, it was included in the final script and cut, and it was worth every penny.
