It's April the First which apparently means it's also time for another Kaijuu video.
A request by Crazy Dude Fan 97!, roxan Mangiliman, Octavio Behr, and Patrick Johnson, and a recreation of a failed attemp by Peter Jackson to remake King Kong back in the nineties.
From what I've been able to gather, the film would have starred either George Clooney or Bruce Campbell as Jack Driscol, Kate Winslet as Ann Darrow and either Gary Oldman or Robert De Niro as Carl Denham.
The film would have had a light hearted tone which Peter Jackson compared with Indiana Jones. Jackson would later also compare the failed film with The Mummy (1999).
The film would begin in India where former airforce pilot Jack Driscol would be working for archeologist Ann Darrow and her father Lord Driscol. Ann and Jack would discover a map to a nearby lost island called Skull Island in an old ruin. Around the same time, the two would meet with an ambious film maker called Carl Denham who would convince them to go with him to Skull Island with the hope of making a film there.
From there the film would largely follow the plot of the original film. Among the more major changes was making Denham a villainous figure who tortures a captive Kong for his audiences' amusement, and a sequence where Driscol uses a seaplane to help Kong fight off the aeroplanes at the Empire State building.
The creatures in the film would have been made with a mixture stop motion, animatronics and computer graphics.
The film was cancelled partially due to studio concerns regarding Peter Jackson's vision. It was also cancelled to avoid competing with two other then upcoming monster films: the Mighty Joe remake by Disney and Roland Emmerich's Godzilla.
Sorry if this video is a little shorter than it should be. I didn't have the best supply of footage when I made this and I wound up having to rush the project to meet the deadline.
