This past weekend, the Comic-Con audience at Hall H attending the
Legendary presentation were stunned by news of a
King Kong prequel on the way. Legendary presented the news by showcasing a special teaser trailer that was created just for the event. The film will open
November 4, 2016, but who the heck will direct it?
"I’m told they’ve offered the directing job to
Joe Cornish, who has been offered big movies since his low-budget alien-invasion breakthrough pic
Attack The Block. I’m not sure if Cornish will take the job because he’s offered so much — like Universal’s
Section Six, the Aaron Berg-scripted drama about the formation of MI6 Brit intelligence branch, for instance." - Deadline
