According to Deadline, Legendary Pictures have turned to Flight writer John Gatins to pen the next draft of Skull Island. The movie is set to be released on November 4th, 2016 (the same date as Doctor Strange, so Legendary may want to consider moving) and Jordan Vogt-Roberts is directing. The Avengers and Thor: The Dark World star Tom Hiddleston meanwhile is attached to take on a leading role. The script was originally written by Max Borenstein (Godzilla), but Gatins is an Academy Award winning writer, so the project is clearly in good hands. What do you guys think?
