View fullsize

The first photos from the set of Legendary Pictures' Kong: Skull Island have surfaced, and as you will see below, they feature a giant ape skull. I assume it belongs to one of Kong's humongous ancestors. The movie is currently in production in Hawaii, and the photos were posted by Reel Tours Hawaii.

The story follows Tom Hiddleston as he and his team of explorers venture to the mysterious and dangerous home of the king of the apes. The adventure will take them deep inside the treacherous, primordial island. According to Legendary, the "story honors the foundations of existing King Kong lore, but places it in an entirely new, distinct timeline." It's said to be set in 1971. Part of the film will take place in Detroit while the other part will take place on Skull Island. 

The movie is being directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts (The Kings of Summer), and the cast also includes Brie Larson, Toby Kebbell, Jason Mitchell, Corey Hawkins, John C. Reilly, Samuel L. Jackson, and Tom Wilkinson.

I'm excited for this movie, and it will hit theaters on March 10th, 2017. To catch up on all of the previous news involving this movie, click here.
