Thomas Tull from the production company is moving his untitled "Skull Island" King Kong film to Warner Bros with an aim to unite the property with Legendary's other giant franchise, Godzilla, reported Deadline.
The studio move is an effort to keep the gigantic beasts under the same distributor so that it gets easier to plan the movie.

The King Kong movie, "Skull Island" is in the pre-production stage with Brie Larson, Tom Hiddleston and Corey Hawkins as the main cast.
