    Hi Gary - Alan is absolutely right about the era thing; Kong was a star in the 1930's, so his comeback would be 20/30 years later...

    In Lawrence of Arabia there's this one REALLY famous scene where Omar Sharif makes his entrance - from a speck on the horizon; see below... maybe Kong could make his entrance this same way?

    Of course, Kong might also be a bit of a diva about his comeback; there's a very famous movie about an old movie star making her comeback - Sunset Boulevard

    There's a famous quote from the movie 'I am Big, it's the pictures that got small' (Could have been written for Kong!) see below

    Norma Desmond utters the famous line 'Mr DeMille - I'm ready for my close-up' (Cecil B. DeMille was THE director back in the day - he directed Ben-Hur). To re-cast King Kong as a washed up, neurotic 'has been', who, absurdly, is trying to make his comeback in deeply inappropriate movies might be fun! Can I suggest your group finds Sunset Boulevard and gives it a go? It could be the piece of the puzzle you've been missing...
