Factual error: Denham is obviously shooting a sound film - he has a sound recordist with him along with the bulky and awkward recording equipment typical for the era, and they discuss the problems of recording dialogue on board. But not once do we see him filming with sound. We see the crew recording dialogue - synchronised sound, recorded on location, which is utterly impossible given the equipment they have and the circumstances under which the film is being shot. We never see a microphone, a boom pole or a tape recorder. His camera isn't even 'blimped' - soundproofed - and it's handcranked, which makes a racket. They can't be planning on adding the sound later - why have the sound recordist and his bulky and heavy equipment there with them if they are? The whole point of post dubbing dialogue is that you don't need a sound recordist in the first place.

A movie producer named Carl Denham needs to make a good movie for once. He plans on going on an island with a ship, a crew, and Writer, Jack Driscoll. He needs to find a lady for the film. That's when he finds Ann Darrow. As they are sailing, they find out that Carl is taking them to skull island, a lost island in the pacific. When they disembark onto the beach, they are already confronted by the native islanders, dinosaurs, giant insects, and a gigantic ape called, "King Kong." They need to survive and get back to the ship. Kong falls in love with Ann when the natives offer her as a sacrifice to him. Their relationship builds and Ann starts to like Kong back. Kong is put to sleep and captured and brought to New York. He is shown on nights on broadway and the crew becomes wealthy including Carl.
Carl Denham: There are thousands of actresses out of work in this city. Somewhere out there is a woman born to play this role... A woman who will journey into the heart of the unknown... Toward a fateful meeting that changes everything.
Trivia: The 'natives' at Kong's feet, in the theater production scene, use the same costumes and the same music as the Skull Island natives in the 1933 original.
Chosen answer: The original creator of King Kong, Merin C. Cooper, wrote a novel adaption of the movie in which it was explained that the gates were built by a earlier culture of islanders that were friends with the "Kong" race. The "Kongs" helped the original islanders to build their village and the wall (thus meaning the gate had to be big enough for the giant gorillas to walk through). By the time of the events of the movie, the original islanders have "died out" and their old village had been taken over by a race of more primitive natives who became enemies with the Kongs, and were trying to use the gates for safety.
