Bound for Skull Island

So how do you stir a little excitement into your previously announced, somewhat-tepidly received – at Comic-Con, no less! – news that you are working on a King Kong origin story?

If you’re smart like Hollywood can sometimes be, you add a little Tom Hiddleston.

Indeed, the Hiddle-hunk has signed on to star in Skull Island once he is done starring in everything else he has a right to star in, oh yes he will.

The would-be blockbuster, which will get into the mysteries and intricacies of King Kong’s home turf before he is discovered, is set for a November 2016 release.
