While RKO and Universal Pictures battled over King Kong's rights, Dino De Laurentiis, who was the producer for the 1976 King Kong would next produce another giant monster film which would be filmed in the Himalayas, entitled Yeti. David Z. Goodman wrote the screenplay which was based on a story by Italian author Giorgio Moser.[1][2][3]
