Russell Crowe Being Courted For ‘Kong: Skull Island’!
After losing both Michael Keaton and JK Simmons, Universal and Legendary Pictures are moving on with Kong: Skull Island, their reintroduction to King Kong that’s set for discovery on March 10, 2017.
Brie Larson (Trainwreck, 21 Jump Street, Scott Pilgrim) is in talks to play the female lead in the film, says Deadline. She will join the great Tom Hiddleston, while the studios are courting Russell Crowe(!) to fill one of the vacant roles.
Legendary has Jordan Vogt-Roberts directing a script by John Gatins and Max Borenstein, and they are eyeing a production start of late year or early 2016.
Kong: Skull Island will fully immerse audiences in the mysterious and dangerous home of the iconic ape as a team of explorers ventures deep inside the treacherous, primordial island.

Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
