Kong Unmade: The Lost Films of Skull Island Softcover Book:

Paperback: 376 pages

Just like Godzilla, Gamera and their kaiju kin, King Kong was to be the star of many an unmade film. In this new book learn of a plethora of prequels, sequels, and even in-between-quels to the 1933 King Kong. From Merian C. Cooper himself came ideas for The New Adventures of King Kong (1933) to chronicle Kong and Denham's journey to New York; Tarzan vs. King Kong (1934), a Technicolor prequel set on Skull Island; and Space Kong (1969), a psychedelic sequel set in space! Learn the tragic history behind Willis O'Brien's King Kong vs. Frankenstein that lead to the making of King Kong vs. Godzilla (1962) plus Kong's original starring role in what became Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster (1966). Unmade remakes like The Legend of King Kong plus unmade sequels to Dino De Laurentiis's King Kong (1976) and King Kong Lives (1986) are also covered. In addition to these unmade films, readers can also explore the detailed histories behind these Kong imitators: Konga (1961), The Mighty Gorga (1969), Queen Kong (1976), A*P*E (1976), and Mighty Peking Man (1977).

Review
"Fantastic book covering both unmade giant ape films as well as a lot of others that made it to theaters and video, from the well-known to the obscure. It's a well-written and entertaining read, whether you go from start to finish or bounce around from entry to entry".-Martin Arlt, Editor of Mad Scientist Magazine

"Reading 'Kong Unmade' is like watching the greatest documentary series on all things Kong ever made." -Mike Bogue, Scary Monsters Magazine
