Disney+ is heading to Skull Island for a live-action King Kong series that will explore the mystery and mythology of the giant ape’s home. As reported by Deadline, the series is in the very early stages of development at the streamer, with Disney Branded Television behind the project. It is said to be based on the original 1933 film directed by Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack, as well as the recent novelizations by artist Joe DeVito. Stephany Folsom (Paper Girls) is on board as writer and executive producer. James Wan (Aquaman) will also serve as executive producer alongside Michael Clear and Rob Hackett via their Atomic Monster banner and Dannie Festa of World Builder Entertainment. King Kong has seen a resurgence in recent years due to Legendary Entertainment’s Monsterverse movies, including 2017’s Kong: Skull Island and 2021’s Godzilla vs. Kong. However, the upcoming Disney+ series is not connected to the Monsterverse franchise.

Dreamworks Animation’s Trolls World Tour is going where No Time to Die vacated: April 10. Originally the Dwa pic, released via Universal, was to go April 17.
This is the first major studio move in the wake of MGM/Eon/Universal moving the global day and date release of the 25th 007 pic this morning, which Deadline exclusively broke. It also will ease fears among exhibition. While studios can sustain and weather macro shifts in their movie re-dates, having consistent product is the bread and butter for theaters. The Dwa sequel is also sneaking for exhibitors at the studio-theater chain confab Cinemacon at the end of March.
This is great sigh of relief to distribution in the wake of No Time to Die‘s move to Thanksgiving. Easter has become a very rich weekend for movies with the 2015 and 2016 holidays delivering back-to-back record openings with Uni’s Furious 7 ($161.2M) and Warner Bros.
