‘Kong: Skull Island’ Trailer As Much of a Spectacle as King Kong Himself! #SDCC

Published

KONG SKULL ISLAND via Warner Bros.

Seconds after premiering at the San Diego Comic-Con, Warner Bros. and Legendary shared with the world the first trailer for Kong: Skull Island, the newly minted King Kong movie that will live in the same universe as the Godzilla films.

The footage is absolutely spectacular, giving heavy nods to genre films such as Aliens, Predator, Jurassic Park, Terminator 2, among many others (collect them all!). Jordan Vogt-Roberts looks to bring the “wow” back to theaters by delivering an apocalyptic (even Apocalypse Now) feel to the film that mirrors the size of the new King Kong, who is quite notably monstrous.

I think what impresses me the most is that they dropped the “Beauty and the Beast” nonsense and have turned this into a battle between man and monster…on an island. There’s even a shot of someone shooting an automatic weapon from the top of an enormous Triceratops skull. I really don’t know how you top that…

In the film, a diverse team of explorers is brought together to venture deep into an uncharted island in the Pacific – as beautiful as it is treacherous – unaware that they’re crossing into the domain of the mythic Kong. It features Tom Hiddleston, Brie Larson, John Goodman, John C. Reilly, Samuel L. Jackson, Tom Wilkinson, Jason Mitchell, Corey Hawkins, Thomas Mann and John Ortiz.

Kong: Skull Island opens in theaters on March 10, 2017, followed by Godzilla 2 on March 22, 2019, and Godzilla vs. Kong on May 29, 2020.

SCREAMBOX Investigates UFOs and Extraterrestrials: Several Documentaries Streaming Right Now!

Published

on

As someone who is obsessed with UFOS (or more recently known as UAPs) and the concept of extraterrestrials, I love a good documentary. Sightings have been on the rise since the 1940s, with the atomic bomb seemingly acting as a catalyst for new visitors. But what are these UFOs/UAPs? Is there an explanation or are they simply beyond our explanation? Why are they here? Who are they? How much do our governments know? The questions are endless and so are the documentaries that attempt to uncover the secrets behind decades of sightings and alleged confrontations.

Whether you’re a seasoned viewer or new to the rabbit hole, there’s always a handful of interesting documentaries to get your neurons firing and leave you with sleepless nights. SCREAMBOX is investigating with the addition of several docs, all streaming now on the Bloody Disgusting-powered service. Here’s the breakdown:

Aliens Uncovered: ET or Man-Made (2022): The crash of Roswell wasn’t meant for New Mexico. In 1947, a neighboring state had 3 major sightings that were swept under the rug.

Roswell (2021): This high-flying documentary examines the July 1947 crash of a United States Army Air Forces balloon at a ranch near Roswell, New Mexico. Theories claim the crash was actually that of a flying saucer, but what is the truth?
