John Goodman, Samuel L. Jackson, Tom Hiddleston, and Brie Larson. "I've had it, with these motherfucking apes on this motherfucking island!"
I'm thinking they're setting up some kind of deal where Kong keeps getting bigger over time. Hence he'll be big enough to take on Godzilla when that movie happens in a couple years.
Nothing beat the original for pacing and story, and nothing beats the 1979 re-make for having Kong finger Jessica Lange.
New trailer has dropped. Not so sure about the giant water buffalo, but it's got to be better than the Peter Jackson abortion.
So. To recap: nunuGodzilla people. So we can expect a great trailer, big stars, and Samuel L. Jackson dying in the first 20 minutes because they couldn't afford/figure out what to do with him for the whole movie, and an ultimately disappointing film.
Everything that is wrong with the Peter Jackson version is where they shoot the giant insects with Tommy guns. And that and Jack Black in white tie are the only two things I can remember about that film. It has been memory dumped like the Star Wars prequels.
So did I. I do find it interesting that Kong has increasingly become more and more sympathetic in the various remakes over the years. In the Jackson film he's just a confused gorilla who wants to be left alone. This new movie looks entertaining though. What's the odds going for his upcoming fight with Godzilla? I'm betting on the green guy due to atomic fire breath.
Yes, by all means, let's maneuver our helicopters within Kong's reach rather than increasing altitude, say, 50 feet. I also like the moment I saw in the teaser where a half-dozen guys fire M-16s right over Brie's head and it doesn't faze her at all.
Totally different than having Spock show up too late to save Romulus with Red Matter because the Vulcan Council was debating if they should do something about a supernova which threatens the galaxy. At least this way we get cool visuals of a giant gorilla smashing shit, rather than a voiceover narration which only makes sense if you've read a comic book or the novelization of the film. There's apparently a wartime photographer who's last photo was of a soldier shooting them. I think @shootER will agree, sometimes there's nothing more important than worrying about getting that perfect picture.
If the character is supposed to be a war correspondent, I doubt M16s (no dash in the nomenclature, motherfuckers ) would phase her. It certainly wouldn't bother me and I've been much closer to dangerous shit than that.
More importantly shooter - was "bump-fire" involved? True though, the bullets you hear flying by aren't the issue - the ones you'll never hear are a bitch. Yes a lot of war news media die all the time - statistically it's very dangerous. We had a reporter from Italy attached to our unit who soon found a unit of grunts to go around with because we were too boring.
