While some may not be super thrilled by this announcement, this is quite the promising move. Yes, both Jurassic World and Kong: Skull Island had incredibly simplistic screenplays, they were also both crowd-pleasing hits that went over well with critics and audiences alike. It helps they were both very entertaining movies, even if they didn’t quite live up to hardcore fans’ expectations

At this time, given the terrible video game adaptations we’ve had in the past, this may be something we really need to help get the genre off the ground.

Plus, Kong: Skull Island director Jordan Vogt-Roberts is on board to direct, and he’s very much a savvy fanboy who understands what audiences want to see out of a film. Given the right direction from Vogt-Roberts, Connolly very much comes across as a screenwriter who is able to deliver the goods.
