KONG SKULL ISLAND: Michael Keaton in Talks

“Birdman” star Michael Keaton is in negotiations to join “Kong: Skull Island” for Universal and Legendary.

The King Kong origins project is set to open on March 10, 2017, and will be released in 3D.  The studio and Legendary unveiled “Skull Island” during Comic-Con in July, then disclosed in September that Tom Hiddleston was on board to star with Jordan Vogt-Roberts directing.

Universal decided last month to move “Skull Island” back four months and brought on J.K. Simmons to co-star.

John Gatins (“Flight”) and Max Borenstein (“Godzilla”) wrote the script, about a team of explorers who venture deep inside the primordial island that is King Kong’s home. Legendary said the story honors the foundations of existing King Kong lore created in the iconic 1933 film.

Legendary’s Thomas Tull and Jon Jashni will produce; Alex Garcia exec produces.

KONG: SKULL ISLAND: JK Simmons Added To Cast

Deadline report that the awesome J.K. Simmons (Spider-Man, OZ, Juno, Whiplash) will be joining Tom Hiddleston (The Avengers, Thor when we return to King Kong’s home next year. His exact role is unspecified however. The movie recently backed away from its original release date — and Marvels Doctor Strange — and will now hit theaters March 10th, 2017. Details on the story are slim, but we do have this brief description. “Previous works have touched on the island, but staying on and exploring this mysterious and dangerous place offers Legendary the opportunity to take audiences deeper inside this rich world with a style and scope that parallels other Legendary productions.” Jordan Vogt-Roberts (Kings Of Summer) will direct with a script by John Gatins and Max Borenstein.
