Another King Kong movie is in the works with Spirit Pictures making big plans to bring it back with effects legend Ray 
Harryhausen.
Spirit Pictures picked up the rights to the book “Kong: King of Skull Island,” a prequel to the celebrated tale of the big ape on an island who falls in love with a beautiful blonde. The plan is to produce the prequel in motion-capture technology similar to Zemeckis’ The Polar Express, Beowulf and the upcoming A Christmas Carol. Spirit’s own facility would produce the CG work.
The prequel was written by Joe DeVito and Brad Strickland and the book centers on the back story of Skull Island. Readers find out how the giant gorilla became king of the island. It introduces other giant gorillas and dinosaurs only hinted at in the previous films.
The book was published at the same time Peter Jackson was producing his remake of King Kong from the original King Kong 1933.
