‘Kong: Skull Island’ Director Shares Concept Art for Unused LSD Dream Sequence

Kong: Skull Island was almost even crazier.

In my review of Kong: Skull Island here on BD, I gave the film 5 out of 5 skulls because I felt it was everything anyone could have possibly wanted it to be. Doing away with the traditional King Kong movie, director Jordan Vogt-Roberts set his reboot during the Vietnam War, unleashing full-on monster mayhem across a stunning landscape.

I saw the film twice in theaters. And had such a blast both times.

In any event, I bring up Kong: Skull Island (now available on DVD & Blu-ray) today because Vogt-Roberts just shared something pretty cool over on Twitter. As it turns out, he initially planned on featuring a trippy LSD dream sequence in the film… which would’ve included Kong himself!

“Since it was ‘Nam and the 70’s I really wanted to do an LSD dream sequence,” he tweeted. “Things were going to get trippy. Never was able to shoot it tho.”

Check out the unused concept art below and imagine what might’ve been!

Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.

Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things),  Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.

The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).

Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.

Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.

Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.

In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
