What would you have liked to have seen from the scrapped Godzilla vs King Kong movie?

To my knowlage not much is known about the plot exept this.

The movie would have had a modernized expedition to find Kong. When Kong was captured and later monitored by humans he fell in love with a female scientist who was part of the team studying him.

Kong is later deployed or set free to fight Godzilla who's going on a rampage through Japan. In their first battle Godzilla mutilates Kong with his atomic breath leaving him without limbs and on the brink of death.

The scientist who Kong fell in love with would transform him into a cyborg in a desperate attempt to rescue him, giving him new weapons and upgrades to help fight Godzilla.

They would engage in one final battle with Godzilla (but he'd still end up loosing)

Overall I actually really like the idea of the movie tho if I had to add/change one thing it'd be including King Ghidorah, he could have a similar plot to the actual movie and in the end you could have a reluctant team-up where Godzilla and Kong team up against Ghidorah or Mecha Ghidorah, why? Cuz I think it'd be really cool.

This is a series called Crimes Against Nature by Image Comics. It's about an intelligent gorilla and his human friend. This second printing variant cover pays homage to King Kong.

Wow, he's just on a roll! Almost a century old, and he's still just as vibrant as ever! Men want to be him, women want to be with him, as the old saying goes.

Thank you to People for making the right choice once again! It couldn't have gone to a more deserving gorilla!

I love that the "animatronic" life size bust from the original "King Kong" (1933) has been given the horror treatment!

the height that the Kong was going to be for teenagers

Thumbnail

Context: When "Kong: Skull Island" began production, Kong went through various changes until reaching the final result, the one that matters to us being:

the height

However, and unfortunately, Kong's height was reduced to approximately 31.7 meters so that he could interact with the human protagonists without diminishing his colossal size. Nevertheless, Kong ended up being the smallest kaiju when compared to other titans that surpass him in height (not necessarily Godzilla, at 108 meters in the 2014 film).

In some various concept art or designs of Kong, he had a height similar to 100 meters tall, similar to the adult Kong or the Heisei Godzilla (as an additional reference/example) and in others he seems to reach 50 meters in height (similar to the usual Japanese Godzilla that almost all measure 50 meters in height, and exceeds the Showa King Kong by 5 meters more, which measures 45 meters in height)

So...what would its actual and final size be? Well, after doing calculations with the Kong that came out in the final result, Added to this is the size of the helicopter that appears in the film (Bell UH-1 Iroquois) which is 4.4 meters high and 12.7 meters long. I came to the conclusion that:

97 o 100 meters tall

It was literally going to be almost tall enough to face off against the 2014 Godzilla.

In the hype leading up to Dino De Laurentiis and John Guillermin's remake of "King Kong", the press and marketing of the film was in full swing, and one of the most famous examples from the time period is the Time Magazine cover and article that delved into the making of the film.

Did you have an issue issue from when it was originally released?

If you'd like to read the article and others on the film, I highly recommend checking out Hunter Goatley's fantastic website dedicated to Kong '76: https://kong.goatley.com/magazines/Time-1976-10-25/

King Kong should fight a Spinosaurus if we get a traditional King Kong film again

Post image

A nice way to change things up from the usual Rex type Dinosaurs and because Spinosaurus is my favourite Dinosaur

It could be Spinosaurus or a fictional decendent like how in the 2005 film instead of using Tyrannosaurus rex they used a fictional decendent called Vastatosaurus rex

Plus it would be a neat way to reference Godzilla vs King Kong in a film where Kong is at his usual size, cuz yk, giant Ape vs giant semi aquatic Reptile

The art here is by Matt Frank also known as KaijuSamurai online

Without this extraordinary man and his love for gorillas and adventure, we wouldn't have the fantastic character and film of King Kong, and everything that grew out of and was inspired by that property. The art world owes him a very big debt.

Thanks for everything, Mr. Cooper! 🦍

On this day (October 24th) in 2005, "Kong: King Of Atlantis" was released on DVD

Almost undoubtedly made to cash in on the hype surrounding Peter Jackson's "King Kong" (2005) remake, "Kong: King Of Atlantis" was a direct to DVD sequel to the "Kong: The Animated Series" television show that ran from 2000-2001.

Strangely, even though the original series the film was based on was a straight action-adventure show, this movie introduced musical numbers into the plot. They're not very good, and don't quite fit the tone of the series.

Have you seen the film? What do you think of it?

Personally, while I love "Kong: The Animated Series", I don't hold the same amount of love for the film. It does have some nice elements, but overall, it pales in comparison to the series it is derived from.
