Ape shall not kill ape. Nuclear, dinosaury monster? That’s another issue entirely

Legendary Pictures’ King Kong reboot, “Kong: Skull Island,” has moved from Universal to Warners, but kept its projected March 2017 release date.

Why is this interesting? Because Warners is the studio of “Godzilla,” with its planned 2018 sequel to the 2014 half-billion-dollar grosser (the sequel reportedly including Mothra and Rodan) (that’s Rodan, the atomic pteranodon, not Rodin, the admittedly powerful sculptor).

After “Godzilla 2,” which had better have a cooler name than that — “Godzilla Must Destroy All Monsters,” or something — Legendary has announced its intent to let franchises collide in — yes — a King Kong versus Godzilla movie.

Smart money’s on the gorillawhale (“Gojira”) in that fight.
