is it too soon for another KING KONG remake?
Look, these are savage monsters we're talking about - Kong included. If people go to Skull Island, they can expect to get bloody - or worse.
There was no blood spilled on Skull Island in any of the films, including the original. Okay, for 1933, I can understand the restraints (they even took out an apparently gory sequence involving spiders in a valley eating damaged sailors)........but what about the rest? 1976? 2005? No blood! Forget 2005 - it lacked realism, and that was a complete turn-off for me. I want Ann Darrow torn up (despite Kong's "protection," she still would have dislocated joints and scrapes); I want Kong to bleed when other monsters bite him (he didn't get all those scars for nuthin'); I want realistic dialog (a good script?) to come out of the actor's mouths - and most of all, I want people to be SCARED!!! Frankly, I think a better film can be made of the King Kong story....... |

Re: is it too soon for another KING KONG remake?
You know what I'd like to see?
I wish someone would make a new King Kong film using the discarded title from the 70's when Universal was developing their own remake: The Legend of King Kong. It could feature a crew finding the island, dealing with the natives, fighting Kong, etc. and it would end with one lone survivor on a boat drifting out to sea where he would be rescued and recount his story to the crew of the ship that saved him: the Venture. I always wanted a Kong film that didn't have him dying at the end. Maybe this version could features multiple Kongs, with the climactic battle between King Kong and a rival. Something along those lines. I haven't fully fleshed out my idea, but I'd love to see it happen one day. |

Re: is it too soon for another KING KONG remake?
thank you, KillerCannibal, for not posting another 'Yes.'
Your idea would work along the lines of a 'prequel,' and that ain't a bad idea at all. This could start a new franchise trilogy (ala Batman Begins) - your Prequel idea, then 'King Kong,' fleshed out into two parts: The Island (Part I); The Capture (Part II). |

Re: is it too soon for another KING KONG remake?
I kind of like the idea of the prequel on the island.
As for realism in Jackson's version, I thought the filmmakers gave it realism with Kong's wang (or lack thereof) since they said in reality an ape as large as Kong would have a relatively tiny wang ... wait, what kind of realism were we talking about again? |
Re: is it too soon for another KING KONG remake?
Yes.
|
Re: is it too soon for another KING KONG remake?
I wouldn't be interested in any more versions of King Kong.
|
Re: is it too soon for another KING KONG remake?
Just leave out the girl on ape bestiality present in Jacksons version. Ick.
