J.K. Simmons Joins KONG: SKULL ISLAND
Actor J.K. Simmons, who you might know best from Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man films, has joined Tom Hiddleston in Legendary Pictures Kong: Skull Island. Simmons recently starred in a film called Whiplash, in which he gave the greatest performance of his career.
There’s no information on who Simmons will play in the movie, but there's no doubt that he’ll be awesome. The movie is set to be directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts, and here’s a brief synopsis:
KONG: SKULL ISLAND will fully immerse audiences in the mysterious and dangerous home of the king of the apes as a team of explorers ventures deep inside the treacherous, primordial island. Legendary’s story honors the foundations of existing King Kong lore, but places it in an entirely new, distinct timeline.
Universal Pictures is going to release the movie on March 10th, 2017.
