If one could use the 1933 natives and comp them into the new version
but that would require rotoscoping in a pseudo green screen
frame by frame so that one could remove
the old backround

Don't ask for much, do you?

That would be insanely complex, as the old natives wouldn't look like they were reacting to the people in the new film. Secondly, the original Kong film isn't in very good shape, so the contrast between the old (not to mention black-and-white) natives vs the new material would be really, really jarring. Also, the old natives are pretty goofy looking too.

Oh, and I did look at the colorized version of the old Kong movie--the image quality is still pretty rough.
