Another yet remade attempt for Kong: Skull Island. It'll still be a prequel to "King of the Monsters," with the exact same plot just the original film. However, there would be a few changes to the main plot and a few callbacks to the original King Kong films from the 30's up to today. It's the 1970's, and there has been rumors of an island far out into the Pacific Ocean. A team of researchers, including a few soldiers for protection, and a photographer for evidence of any living things on the island, go out and search the island known as Skull Island. There, they encounter the majestic yet dangerous beast known as King Kong. Now separated into teams because of Kong's crazy assault on the choppers, they all try to reach the mainland without dying from the other monsters that inhabit Skull Island.
