>“From the size of the skull, you can tell that things on this island are much bigger than audiences are used to with traditional Kong lore,” says Vogt-Roberts. “Our Kong is by far the biggest Kong that you’ve seen on screen, and that translates to a lot of different things on the island.”
>Vogt-Roberts has studied the earlier films closely. When asked for clarification, he starts listing size estimates. “In terms of actual size, our Kong is by far the biggest Kong,” he explains. “Peter Jackson’s Kong was around 25 feet. The ‘33 Kong ranged between 25 feet and 50 feet, I want to say he was 50-plus feet when he was on the Empire State Building. He varied in size dramatically! The ’70s Kong was somewhere between them.”
>The new Kong is “much larger,” which Vogt-Roberts says cuts to the core of the new film. “The film takes place in the ’70s,” he explains. “The ’70s was a time where it was believable that we could still be confronted with myth. And there was still unknown in the world.” In the film, “this island pops up,” leading the characters to investigate.
Excited for this /tv/?
Kicking off the new Legendary monsters universe, or should it just be a solo monster movie?
>Hiddleston plays an ex-British SAS tracker; Larson is a war photographer, “who’s seen all sorts of terrible, terrible things.” Vogt-Roberts avoids any specific details about what they find on the island, but he’s adamant about what they don’t find. “We’re very explicitly not telling the beauty and the beast story,” he says. “The original is a classic, the ’70s version is great for what it is, and Peter’s version is a great retelling of the 1933 film.”
>“The thing that most interested me was, how big do you need to make [Kong], so that when someone lands on this island and doesn’t believe in the idea of myth, the idea of wonder – when we live in a world of social and civil unrest, and everything is crumbling around us, and technology and facts are taking over – how big does this creature need to be, so that when you stand on the ground and you look up at it, the only thing that can go through your mind is: ‘That’s a god.’”

They want this faggot as Bond!??????
Look at how gay he looks holding that AK
how is it kicking off the "legendary monsters universe" if g'14 did that already?
>>72015578
True. It does look far too modern. Hiddleston needs a pornstache and bowl cut and Larsen needs feathered hair to be properly '70s.
will new kong be THE biggest guy in cinema history?
>>72015779
seriously
everyone's to clean looking ffs
>“The film takes place in the ’70s,” he explains. “The ’70s was a time where it was believable that we could still be confronted with myth. And there was still unknown in the world.”
That is almost literally what Peter Jackson said about his version. Why the fuck would he repeat that? When Peter said that it made sense, but we had satellite imaging in the fucking 70s.
>>72015688
Jordan pls go
He has to be the biggest Kong in history to compete with the current american Godzilla.
>>72015535
>>72015554
I really like what this guy is saying. I was kinda indifferent until reading those quotes. Kinda hyped now.
We might have kaiju-kino on our hands here.
I can't take Hiddleston seriously as an action star
but the most important question remains: Will the "It ain't me" by Creedence Clearwater Revival be included?
>>72016164
When the US military comes flying in dropping napalm on Kong, yes.
Tom Hiddleston's characters screams "All fucking niggers must fucking hang".
>>72015688
>I was born in the year 2002 and have no way to distinguish past decades in terms of fashion because all I do is play video games
They have to make him bigger because they're trying to get a Kong vs Godzilla remake going in the next few years.

Apparently he's 100ft which is smaller than Kong from KKvsG. So this Kong is about a third the size of Godzilla
>>72015535
Those bones look plastic.

If people complained about how the 25ft one was captured and sent to NY, what the fuck are they going to do here?
>>72015535
does it have Memelord in it? If not, I'm cautiously optimistic.
>>72015535
If he's so big won't he just crush the dinosaurs like a gorilla crushing a dog? Unless the dinosaurs are super sized as well.
>>72017516
And how is he going to grab the lady? She'll just be like a speck it'll look dumb.
>>72015535

That makes me doubt.
So how big is the island then?
>>72017601
>does it have Memelord in it?
Are you a moron?
>>72017516
Who said they were capturing it?
Hey guys it's me Bruce, ruling the charts with my new hit album Born to Run. Can you believe they found a mysterious island filled with monkeys and dinosaurs the size of skyscrapers? I know I certainly can because it's the 70's and that's very believable for this era
>>72017693
>If he's so big won't he just crush the dinosaurs like a gorilla crushing a dog?
>“Our Kong is by far the biggest Kong that you’ve seen on screen, and that translates to a lot of different things on the island.”
Yup, just scale everything up with it.
This is something PJs Kong did anyway with its dinosaurs so its not that unusual
>>72017957
Are they scaling up the humans also?

Only takes a couple of intrepid, brave individuals, like modern Tom Hiddleston to believe it and confront it.
It will bomb critically and financially like everything not Disney
Reminder that Godzilla 2014 made less money than the 1998 movie

Godzilla 98 barely made back it's $130-$150 million budget.

Why?
They're not nearly as big as you think they are.
Their limbs are very long, but their actual body is not much bigger than yours.
Orcas are far scarier.

>>72019465
looks fine to me
>>72017921
I know this is going to underperform and I'm sad about it. I always wanted them to do more with King Kong instead of just redoing the '33 movie.
>>72020324
nice dude
day 1 watch
i love me some cool dinos
peter jackson's kingo kongo was GOAT

I'm hype for anything with giant monsters. I was disappointed by Godzilla 2014, but i think there's so much room to grow. Glad this is a genre that's coming back, one of my favorites for just pure fun
>>72020983
I really liked Godzilla 2014 and felt like its flaws could easily be fixed in the sequels but the fact that the filmmaker got forced how so Zilla could be forced into a shitty shared cinematic universe with Kong is depressing.
I'd rather have a flawed film with some craft and some risks than a hollow product designed by committee to advertise for the next hollow product and the next hollow product until all the hollow products fight in one big hollow product and tons of toys get sold

Toho was one of the original cinematic universes. Mothra, Rodan, Varan, they had their solo films and Godzilla acted as their Iron Man

It's strange how that sort of stuff crops up every two decades or so, at least since the fifties. 50's were huge into aliens, 70's nordic aliens and crypto, 90's government cover-ups and mystery ala Twin peaks and X-files. All those "real" alien autopsy videos? And now in the 2010'a Twin peaks and X-files are back. Government spying is a real thing. The opportunity is ripe for this stuff to come back again. It's just funny how that works out.
As far as Kong goes, it fits well enough. As long as it isn't a borefest like 2014 Godzilla.
>>72015535
so how big's this "island"?
