Production

After RKO and Universal Pictures' battle over the rights to King Kong, Dino De Laurentiis, who was the producer of the 1976 King Kong remake, would next produce another giant monster film which would be filmed in the Himalayas; the production was given the title of Yeti and the script was written by David Z. Goodman, who based it on a story by Italian story writer Giorgio Moser. Allegedly, months into the making of the film, Moser had discussed the De Laurentiis picture with Parolini, later claiming that the director stole the idea from him.[1]
