The ORIGINAL Kong Skull Island Plans (You Never Knew About)

Описание: Few fans know that the Kong Skull Island we saw in theaters was radically different from the ORIGINAL plans developed by Legendary Pictures. Before Jordan Vogt-Roberts transformed the project, the film was set to take place in 1917, not the 1970s Vietnam War era we know today. This behind-the-scenes revelation exposes how close we came to a completely unrecognizable Kong movie.
The original plans included over 20 scrapped creature designs that never made it to screen, including a massive tiger with a revenge storyline and Skull Crawlers that almost didn't exist at all. The concept art from this period reveals a dark fantasy aesthetic inspired by Frank Frazetta, completely opposite to the final film's naturalistic approach influenced by Studio Ghibli's Princess Mononoke.
This video breaks down every major change from the original Kong Skull Island plans: the abandoned 1917 setting, the cut creatures that were fully sculpted but never filmed, and the chaotic design process that nearly destroyed the production. You'll discover how Vogt-Roberts' radical vision convinced Legendary to scrap months of preproduction work and start over, creating the Monsterverse entry we know today.
From the initial concept to the final creature designs, we analyze the complete development history of Kong Skull Island, including exclusive details about the deleted tiger creature, the evolution of Kong's upright walking design, and why the Skull Crawlers were literally invented on the fly with zero preliminary concepts.
