The two headlining stars that were attached to the sequel film "Kong: Skull Island" have made an early departure due to scheduling conflicts, according to Deadline.

Lead actors J.K. Simmons and Michael Keaton have left the film's production and the project altogether due to the production schedule being pushed from fall to later in the year by film director Jordan Vogt-Roberts.

Fans shouldn't worry though because the producers are hot on the casting trail with an expectation not to experience any delays in production of the film due to its lead actors departure.

Even though Simmons and Keaton have departed the production, the film still has Tom Hiddleston attached to star in it.

According to Coming Soon, the film will be a joint venture between Universal and Legendary Pictures. It will stay true, for the most part, to its original source material and immerse die-hard fans and audiences everywhere into the dangerous home of the legendary movie monster King Kong.

It will follow a group of explorers and adventurers along an expedition of the island that time had forgotten about and features some of Earth's fiercest creatures that ever lived, which includes the T. Rex and other long-extinct beings.

In 2005, "Lord of the Rings" director Peter Jackson took audiences to the island in a remake of the original "King Kong." Back then, audiences worldwide got an extended look into the monstrous world of "Skull Island" which had creatures such as the giant ape himself to overgrown bats and insects.

Coming Soon also reports that the film will take place initially in Detroit in 1971 before the journey to Skull Island begins. This was revealed by Simmons back in January, before his departure from the film.

It has a tentative release date of March 10, 2017, however that may change in the near future with the recent departures and delay announcements.
