I believe that he wanted to make a film about gorillas, or a gorilla, and film on Komodo island,
I just don't think that the gorilla was supposed to be gigantic, and later, at RKO, it turned into the Giant Terror Gorilla. There has never been one piece of paper, or outline, or even something scribbled on a napkin, referring to Cooper's original concept. Willis O'Brien made giant monster movies, and even had a Kong looking missing link fighting fighting a dinosaur in 1916. My guess is all this gelled when Cooper saw the creation reel, then the painting, maybe because of a misconception of the word huge, or giant, and Kong was born. His explanation of filming on Komodo island and making the creatures appear gigantic also doesn't make sense to me. Cooper made natural dramas, OB made films of the fantastic, together they made the greatest fantasy movie ever, that part I am sure of.
The Catch of the Day!
