KONG: SKULL ISLAND
[2017, US - English]
I've always had a soft spot for King Kong and Godzilla when it comes to monster films. When PETER JACKSON made a reboot of the 1933 King Kong classic in 2005, lead actress NAOMI WATTS danced her way into the hearts of the mighty ape along with the audience, and together they waltzed all the way to become the fourth-highest grossing film in Universal Pictures history. When Warner Bros released the first installment of the Godzilla-Kong film franchise in 2014, helmed by GARETH EDWARDS, the simply titled GODZILLA catapulted into box office success and garnered positive reviews from critics.
Come March 2017, we will be treated with the second installment of the monster-duo series. JORDAN VOGT-ROBERTS (THE KINGS OF SUMMER 2013) will direct the highly anticipated sequel, titled KONG: SKULL ISLAND. Joined by a stellar cast including TOM HIDDLESTON, BRIE LARSON, SAMUEL L. JACKSON, JOHN GOODMAN and JOHN C. REILY, the film follows a crew of explorers to the titular island, where they encounter hostile natives, difficult terrain and of course the gargantuan ape. Director VOGT-ROBERTS recently offered some hints that his Kong will be the biggest one by far, "The thing that interested me was - how big does this creature need to be, so that when you stand in the ground and you look up at it, the only thing that can go through you mind is: 'That's a god.'"
