Legendary Entertainment is moving ahead with Skull Island, the King Kong origin picture they announced at Comic-Con in July. Tom Hiddleston (aka Loki) will star, with director Jordan Vogt-Roberts (The Kings of Summer) taking the helm. Hiddleston is also starring in Legendary's upcoming Crimson Peak for Guillermo del Toro. The initial Skull Island script was penned by Max Borenstein, who also labored on their revamped Godzilla. Here's hoping the characters here are a little more engaging than they were in that behemoth saga.
We still don't have a title, but Bond 24 is slated to begin filming on December 6th. Sam Mendes is back in the director's chair from Skyfall, along with Daniel Craig, Ralph Fiennes, Naomie Harris, Rory Kinnear and Ben Wishaw. A table read is rumored for late November, with casting still underway for the film's main villain, the Bond girl, and what may be a secondary villain, with casting notices calling for a "physically imposing character."
Bond 24 lost the phenomenal Roger Deakins to the Coen brothers' Hail, Caesar! But Mendes has found a smashing replacement in cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema, who did such tremendous work in Her as well as Christopher Nolan's highly anticipated Interstellar, which was shot on film, so there's always a chance that Bond 24 may shoot on celluloid over digital. Filming will take place at Pinewood as well as Austria, Italy and Morocco.
In previous outings, the film's title was announced with a big media splash as production gets underway, so we should expect to learn the title as well as the remaining cast, by late November or early December.
