Kong: Skull Island

>>14531135
Not a bad trailer. They've got some hefty actors on this one (no pun intended, Mr Goodman) should get some good box office.
Can't help but think about the caloric intake a gorilla of that size would need to survive, though. Kong is supposed to be huge, but that's a little overboard.

>>14531135
Looks like shit

>>14531185
>Kong is supposed to be huge, but that's a little overboard.

They have to make him bigger for the big showdown between Kong and Godzilla.

Honestly, WB should concentrate on this rather than you know what.

First order of business: Find a replacement director for Godzilla 2 that doesn't blow chunks.

Edwards direction and cinematography was the only thing that saved it from being a smoldering trainwreck.

>>14531229
There is exactly one memorable sequence in the entire movie and that's the skydiving bit.

Edwards is extremely mediocre as a director and more importantly a crap storyteller.
Hopefully, he sunk his career with Rogue One, which looks like utter crap.

Given the extensive reshoots, it's very probable that this was his last big budget project for a while.

>>14531135
I just hope they make it more interesting than Godzilla, because god I couldn't dredge through that tedious shit (Talking about the one with walter white)

>>14531331
Well at least it doesn't seem like the trailer is out and out lying to us, like the Godzilla trailer did.

Weirdly enough, in this universe it seems like Godzilla is the good guy and Kong the villain.

Fucking hyped!

I think it looks pretty good, it's got a good cast assuming they don't waste it like they did with Cranston. I know they had to scale up Kong for his hopeful rematch with Big G, but I think they went a just little overboard, maybe. This shot in particular makes him look way too big

>>14531343
Not sure Kong's the villain so much as the grumpy guy who wants those dang kids off of his lawn

>>14531398
He's only a little bigger than he was in Heisei

>>14531428
Yeah but that still pretty big for a Kong so they had to make him big enoug, remember that Kong has no special anything aside from his size, Godzilla has spikes, claws and a goddamn beam weapon to deal with him

>>14531433
I figured if they made him maybe about 2/3 godzillas size, they'd give him a speed and agility advantage, but in the shot at >>14531353 makes it look like he'll straight up match G in size

Which is what Godzilla is supposed to be, but WB just went ahead and made him Gamera.

>>14531577
Are you implying that reshoots this late into production are somehow a good thing?

Apparently Edwards wanted to make Saving Private Ryan in the Star Wars Universe, an idea so dumb everyone over the age of 13 would have decided against it.

>>14531608
>Which is what Godzilla is supposed to be

Come on, you know Godzilla has been mankind's ally a bunch of times before, even if it did take coaxing and people don't like to be reminded.

I do wish at the end of 2014 that just to offsett the dogooder persona he had started to eat the MUTOs Unit 01 style, just to remind you this is an animal motivated by instinct and hunger

>>14531608
Fucking please, Heisei was already a bunch about him going against shit that was worse for humanity and then of course there is the Millenium era that has him only come out to stop world ending monsters or aliens, and always beam spaming during that

Heh, the cheesy end of Godzilla 2014 is actually my favorite part and what saved the movie from being a complete waste of time.

The only way it could have been better is if Godzilla gave the people of New York a thumbs up before vanishing into the sea.

>>14531612
Weren't the reshoots done because the characters were unlikable as hell?

and they didn't want another boring plank of wood like Rey?

Might be a part of it, but also Disney thought it was way to grim for a pulpy serial about space wizards.
They constantly went on about how depressing Rogue One was going to be, but to me that doesn't really sound like Star Wars. I appreciate that you can tell different kinds of stories in the universe, but there's a bit of framework you're working with here. And especially if you're setting a story during "A New Hope", you can't just go off and grimdark everything up.

>>14531231
>>14531272

And then they both join forces to save Martha, the heroine of the film.

Kong has intelligence.

>>14532364
How the fuck does this match up so well? Was it the original trailer song?? They're nearly the same length too.

>>14531442
Weren't they saying that Kong in this film will be about 100ft tall? While that makes him the biggest American Kong, hes still shorter than Toho Kong, and still less than half Legendary Godzilla's size.

Since Legendary does have the rights to the three monsters in Godzilla 2, what if instead of Kong fighting a T-Rex in the movie (since that is more or less a staple) he gets in a fight with Rodan as a promotion for Godzilla 2

>King Kong vs Godzilla comes out
>Skull island is classified as "Monster Island"

>>14531608
Legendary Godzilla is hardly the level of Showa Godzilla

>>14531608
>Which is what Godzilla is supposed to be

Have you even watched anything beyond the first movie? Godzilla is one of the most inconsistent characters ever.

>>14531794
>And especially if you're setting a story during "A New Hope",

Isn't Rogue One a prequel?

Will there be dinosaurs?

Will there be a Kong SHMA so I can put it with my Godzilla one?

Maybe Rodan appearance?

>>14531135

Weren't they talking about making three King Kong movies?

>>14532905
sadily, we aren't at a point where we can have multiple kaiju movies a year

>>14532908

>>14532908
But they're almost yearly
>Godzilla this year
>Kong next Year

>>14531135
Holy shit was Kong always this big? Like just his face is bigger than a human body.

He used to be able to hold a grown woman in his palm. Now it doesn't seem like it would be "holding" at all.

This is just so he can fight Gojira isn't it.

not sure if itll be a good movie but I really dig the Vietnam vibes some of it is giving off

>>14532860
I don't think so. Maybe it starts out earlier, but I doubt the rebellion sat on the Death Star plans for long when the decision came to blow it up.

So really, while What's-her-face is off scalping Imperial Officers with her Inglorious Rebels, somewhere else in the galaxy Han and Luke are saving Leia and bantering up a storm.

I kinda hate the idea of Interquels in general, because you can't shake the feeling that you're just watching the stuff that wasn't important enough to cover during the original film.

>>14532917

WB has also Rampage and Monsterpocalypse in the works.

How would you all react if he had electricity powers like he did in the original Godzilla vs King Kong?

>>14533510
I'd like some bullshit to explain why, but I can deal with it.

>>14533382
More like shitty kaiju every year. Japs liked GMK well enough but were underwhelmed by the later films. They were rushed, low budget, not too well written Japanese kaiju flicks with little to no impact outside their country, where they were already niche to begin with.

We have yet to see how the global movie market reacts when they get high budget western-made monster films on an almost yearly basis. Just because Millennium failed in Japan, that doesn't mean Legendary/WB can't still make their own cinematic universe happen, even if they were off to a shaky start.

>>14533018
>Monsterpocalypse in the works
I think it's dead in the water at this point, has there been any word on it in like six years?

>>14531377
Damn that's hot

Kong evolved to run on electricity in a similar fashion to how Goji runs on radiation.

>>14534659
Ah sweet hope

This is actually super

>pits humans in robot suits against monsters. An adaptation was previously attempted around 2010 with a package that included Tim Burton as director and John August as screenwriter. It stalled in development after Crimson Peak filmmaker Guillermo del Toro made a competing humans-in-robot-suits-against-monsters, 2013’s Pacific Rim.

>Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that the new package has a take that is substantially different from that of the previous iteration, as well as Rim's, although the core concept — humans versus monsters — remains.

Humans vs monsters, but not in robots? Haha yes time for the bootleg Ultraman faction.

Don't be in insufferable prick about 1.5 seconds of video

When this movie comes out I want to do a marathon of king kong movies. So far I'm going to watch king kong 33, son of kong, mighty joe young, king kong vs godzilla, king kong escapes, king kong 76, king kong lives, mighty joe young 98, and king kong 2005. I'm debating on if I want to include any of the shitty knock off movies like queen kong or the mighty Peking man. Any movies I've missed or you think I should include in the marathon? I won't be watching all in one sitting of corse, I'll be doing a movie a night leading up to Kong skull island

>>14531371
No, just a generic Skull Island spider.

You could do some more Willis O'Brien stuff, and I think some of the miniatures from Kong ended up hiding in the background of some sets iirc too if you want to reach.

>>14531400
>Victor Wong

Well at least they got an actual asian to play him and not go full Breakfast At Tiffany's.

I'm wondering what the chances are that, in the eventual Goji vs Kong flick, Big G'll be the one to "win" their fight. I just think it'd be a fun little irony, with the Japanese and Americans having their nation's kaijuu lose in their respective films.

>>14536661
Didn't Kong only win because he was originally supposed to be Frankenstein or something? And that's also why he has electricity powers, too?

>>14537105
Kong won because the Japs didn't want to piss of the guys who nuked them twice.

>>14537105
>>14537216
At that time, Kong was more popular in Japland, too. Godzilla was still something of a newcomer, plus a negative character.

>>14536238
Because that's a bullshit statement you're peddling that requires being dumb enough to buy into cheap Malthusian rhetoric without understanding how energy production and food production changes way more important than mere population numbers.

>>14536661
They already confirmed they team up to fight a greater enemy, likely Ghidorah or some new/original monster.

>>14536661
>>14537237

Also keep in mind that Vs King Kong was the first real Vs movie for Godzilla. Yes he fought Anguirus in Raids Again, but it honestly wasn't a big part of the conflict.

If the US really wants to win over the Japs in kaiju movies, then the next one has to be about Japan's favorite kaiju, the one they seem to love for inexplainable reasons beyond "he's cute. CUTE!"

>>14532891
Maybe.
Care to enlighten me?

>>14538137
Well I mean, he is cute beyond words.

Based on what? Kaiju fuck up cities that already fuck up the environment. Animals doing animal things isn't going to effect anything other man.

>>14542173
I'm sure a herd of herbivorous kaiju would be able to easily eat through forests like nothing.

>>14538299
Exposure is all out of whack.

The angle is too flat. Should be higher up, looking more down. You can still achieve the same sense of scale that way, but it would add more weight to any reveal that would follow as the camera would be able to pan up more dramatically.

>>14546659
You're right, I forgot about that one. But on the other hand, it didn't have a really memorable monster that could get it's own dedicated movies.
