A new casting call has been released by Acting-Auditions for Kong: Skull Island, via Scified. This casting call not only reveals the film's possible plot, but it also showcases that this film seemingly connects and is a sequel to the 2005 King Kong film directed by Peter Jackson. Even though we all saw King Kong die at the end of the 2005 film, if this plot has any credibility, somehow, someway, King Kong survived! Does he have a secret healing factor? Who knows, but if this new film is indeed a sequel film, does this mean that Jack Black will reprise his role? Stay tuned to CBM for any updates regarding this story. For now, check out the plot below!

"Kong: Skull Island" takes place years after the original film. In 1933, American showman, Carl Denham returned from a mysterious, hidden island with a priceless treasure. A treasure not gold or jewels, but the island's barabric god, a monstrous anthropoid called "Kong." The savage giant escaped and wreaked havoc among the man-made canyons of Manhattan, but within hours of the giant apes death his body, and Carl Denham, disappeared. Many years later, the son of Carl Denham makes a shocking discovery that leads him back to the site of his father's greatest adventure and to the answers that will unlock the century's greatest mystery and history's greatest miracle.

I was hoping this would be a reboot so that it could set up a crossover with the new Godzilla.

well this is what happened in the original anyway, I think, it doesn't need to be sequel, they might just have gone with the idea to move on with the audience already knowing that the events of king kong happened, to cross it with todays version (2014) of godzilla, therefore denhams son, wild speculation m88898797s don't judge

To me, it sounded more like this would be a sequel to the 1933 movie, not Peter Jackson's.

Jackson's Kong was great. The only people that piss on it are dumbasses who thought it was too long. Even the half-assed video game was good. I'm all for a new Kong movie, just don't make it a "Son of King Kong" film or something stupid.

How can there be a sequel when the main man himself is dead?!

Everytime Kong dies he revives in the Island...thats the only way to do a sequel.!

So, Kong respawned back on the island? Or is he a zombie?

Yessssssssss!!

Continuity baby!!!!

Who knows, maybe King Kong was so enraged because he was protecting a son that no one knew about. If I'm correct everything on the island ages extremely slowly. I believe Kong was 140-170 years old??

King Kong made me cry the first time I watched it as a lil 7th grader. I fell asleep but I woke up just in time to catch Kong in NY. But it's truly a beautiful film. The love, the action and the theme were all orchestrated with compassion.

Perhaps it could be a direct sequel to the classic King Kong film?

I think that's still what it is. Whether Skull Island is a sequel to the original film or the 2005 remake (either works though, to be honest. It's the same story.) they're still setting things up for a Godzilla/King Kong crossover just like the 60's movie.

@niklander -- in the PJ film, there are actually remains of dead giant gorillas in Kong's cave. So I kinda figure if there were multiples at one point, there may be again..

I feel like this is fake though. Thought this was a prequel..?

Haven't any of you seen the sequel to the origianl movie which Peter Jackson's King Kong was based off of?

...Son of Kong?

Carl Denham returns to Skull Island and finds his son.



Also, Jackson's movie shows several giant ape skeletons when Kong reached his cave.

All Jackson should have done was inprove the quality of the stampede scene and remove A LOT of the scenes from the trip to Skull Island. It made up like 1/3 of the film

YES

PREACH!



And the game on PS2... Oh man! I've still got this in pristine condition with the art cards:



When this movie was first announced, I so badly wanted it be a prequel to Jackson's remake. I wanted it to be about the island's first visitors and the unfortunate events that had unfolded for it all to lead to Denham obtaining the map, and whom from. It would've been the perfect way to bridge the movies together. I just loved the way Jackson gave us that sense of mystery surrounding the island, and its inhabitants with the remake.

But after we finally got some brief details from JK Simmons - about it being set in 1971 - my hopes were dashed. I didn't expect this however... Sure, it isn't the prequel I was looking for but as long as it's tied directly to Jackson's remake, and acts as a sequel, I'm happy.

So nothing about this indicates that it's referring to the 2005 version anymore than it does the 1933 one. In fact, referencing the "original film" gives more credence that this is a sequel to the original 1933 film, not the 2005 one, if anything.

Seriously, Nightwatcher?
It means the original movie, not it's most recent remake.

Also, Peter Jackson couldn't do a TV commercial without making it 5 hours too long. How can such a below-average director be so self indulgent? You think LOTR went to his head at all? It just might have.
Bad Taste was a better Kong remake than 2005's King Kong.
