IM Global Television and MarVista Entertainment have teamed up to produce a King Kong TV series, the two companies announced on Tuesday.
A live-action series based on DeVito Artworks’ Skull Island property and Merian C. Cooper’s King Kong, “King Kong Skull Island” is described as a “serialized, contemporary continuation of the classic with a female-led, multi-cultural ensemble that delves fully into the wonders and horrors of Skull Island and its origins.”
Jonathan Penner and Stacy Title are attached to write and executive produce the series. Dannie Festa of World Builder Entertainment will also serve as executive producer.
“It’s been a privilege to work with Joe DeVito and his truly unique, never-before-seen Kong universe,” Festa said in a statement.
