Get a Sneak Peek at ‘Kong: Skull Island’
The MTV Movie Awards held a slew of new teasers and trailers for upcoming films and Legendary decided to show off a behind-the-scenes look at Kong: Skull Island amidst that chaos. The footage is basically several interview segments with stars Tom Hiddleston and Brie Larson as well as clips of some intense action that will be seen in the movie, which is set during the Vietnam War.
Speaking with EW, Tom Hiddleston stated:
Jordan Vogt-Roberts, who directed it, had this extraordinary idea. I don’t want to spoil too much… But it’s a whole new re-conception of the mythology. It essentially follows a group of disparate travelers and explorers and soldiers who travel to an undiscovered island in the South Pacific. And it’s set in a time period where you could conceive that there are still undiscovered places on the earth. What they find on the island is surprising, and then every character has a very different response to it. It’s going to be spectacular and epic, but also the human drama is kind of interesting as well.
The movie also stars John Goodman, Samuel L. Jackson, Corey Hawkins, and Jason Mitchell. Kong: Skull Island comes out May 10th, 2017.
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
