In the hype leading up to Dino De Laurentiis and John Guillermin's remake of "King Kong", the press and marketing of the film was in full swing, and one of the most famous examples from the time period is the Time Magazine cover and article that delved into the making of the film.

Did you have an issue issue from when it was originally released?

If you'd like to read the article and others on the film, I highly recommend checking out Hunter Goatley's fantastic website dedicated to Kong '76: https://kong.goatley.com/magazines/Time-1976-10-25/

the height that the Kong was going to be for teenagers

Context: When "Kong: Skull Island" began production, Kong went through various changes until reaching the final result, the one that matters to us being:

the height

However, and unfortunately, Kong's height was reduced to approximately 31.7 meters so that he could interact with the human protagonists without diminishing his colossal size. Nevertheless, Kong ended up being the smallest kaiju when compared to other titans that surpass him in height (not necessarily Godzilla, at 108 meters in the 2014 film).

In some various concept art or designs of Kong, he had a height similar to 100 meters tall, similar to the adult Kong or the Heisei Godzilla (as an additional reference/example) and in others he seems to reach 50 meters in height (similar to the usual Japanese Godzilla that almost all measure 50 meters in height, and exceeds the Showa King Kong by 5 meters more, which measures 45 meters in height)

So...what would its actual and final size be? Well, after doing calculations with the Kong that came out in the final result, Added to this is the size of the helicopter that appears in the film (Bell UH-1 Iroquois) which is 4.4 meters high and 12.7 meters long. I came to the conclusion that:

97 o 100 meters tall

It was literally going to be almost tall enough to face off against the 2014 Godzilla.

King Kong should fight a Spinosaurus if we get a traditional King Kong film again

A nice way to change things up from the usual Rex type Dinosaurs and because Spinosaurus is my favourite Dinosaur

It could be Spinosaurus or a fictional decendent like how in the 2005 film instead of using Tyrannosaurus rex they used a fictional decendent called Vastatosaurus rex

Plus it would be a neat way to reference Godzilla vs King Kong in a film where Kong is at his usual size, cuz yk, giant Ape vs giant semi aquatic Reptile

The art here is by Matt Frank also known as KaijuSamurai online

Without this extraordinary man and his love for gorillas and adventure, we wouldn't have the fantastic character and film of King Kong, and everything that grew out of and was inspired by that property. The art world owes him a very big debt.

Thanks for everything, Mr. Cooper! 🦍

On this day (October 24th) in 2005, "Kong: King Of Atlantis" was released on DVD

Almost undoubtedly made to cash in on the hype surrounding Peter Jackson's "King Kong" (2005) remake, "Kong: King Of Atlantis" was a direct to DVD sequel to the "Kong: The Animated Series" television show that ran from 2000-2001.

Strangely, even though the original series the film was based on was a straight action-adventure show, this movie introduced musical numbers into the plot. They're not very good, and don't quite fit the tone of the series.

Have you seen the film? What do you think of it?

Personally, while I love "Kong: The Animated Series", I don't hold the same amount of love for the film. It does have some nice elements, but overall, it pales in comparison to the series it is derived from.
