It seems that everyone wants to be the biggest and baddest these days. The crew behind Godzilla: Resurgence are saying that their fire-breathing lizard is going to be the biggest version yet put on screen and now Jordan Vogt-Roberts has told THR that the King Kong we’ll be seeing in Kong: Skull Island, “…is going to be the biggest Kong there’s ever been. Not 10 foot or 30 foot, but a 100-foot ape.”
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.
Kong: Skull Island stars Tom Hiddleston, Brie Larson, Samuel L. Jackson, John Goodman, and John C. Reilly. Directed by Vogt-Roberts, we’ll be seeing the giant ape swing into theaters March 10th, 2017.
