<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>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 <em>King Kong</em>. From Merian C. Cooper himself came ideas for <em>The New Adventures of King Kong</em> (1933) to chronicle Kong and Denham's journey to New York; <em>Tarzan vs. King Kong</em> (1934), a Technicolor prequel set on Skull Island; and <em>Space Kong</em> (1969), a psychedelic sequel set in space! Learn the tragic history behind Willis O'Brien's <em>King Kong vs. Frankenstein</em> that lead to the making of <em>King Kong vs. Godzilla</em> (1962) plus Kong's original starring role in what became <em>Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster</em> (1966). Unmade remakes like <em>The Legend of King Kong</em> plus unmade sequels to Dino De Laurentiis's King Kong (1976) and <em>King Kong Lives</em> (1986) are also covered. In addition to these unmade films, readers can also explore the detailed histories behind these Kong imitators: <em>Konga </em>(1961), <em>The Mighty Gorga</em> (1969), <em>Queen Kong</em> (1976), <em>A*P*E</em> (1976), and <em>Mighty Peking Man</em> (1977).</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"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 <em>Mad Scientist</em> Magazine</p><p>"Reading 'Kong Unmade' is like watching the greatest documentary series on all things Kong ever made." -Mike Bogue, <em>Scary Monsters</em> Magazine </p><br>
