From the few brief shots in the trailer it appears they went with a more obscure mish-mash of Polynesia and possibly SE Asia. It also has a very "voodoo-ish" vibe to it. Makes sense to go with a more anonymous island culture since Africa is not exactly the unexplored continent is was back then (at least by white people). For all the Kong you can eat, check out PJ's production diaries on the KongisKing site: http://www.kongisking.net/index.shtml Peter has a great sense of humor. Note the running gag about "guest directors".
