>“From the size of the skull, you can tell that things on this island are much bigger than audiences are used to with traditional Kong lore,” says Vogt-Roberts. “Our Kong is by far the biggest Kong that you’ve seen on screen, and that translates to a lot of different things on the island.”
>Vogt-Roberts has studied the earlier films closely. When asked for clarification, he starts listing size estimates. “In terms of actual size, our Kong is by far the biggest Kong,” he explains. “Peter Jackson’s Kong was around 25 feet. The ‘33 Kong ranged between 25 feet and 50 feet, I want to say he was 50-plus feet when he was on the Empire State Building. He varied in size dramatically! The ’70s Kong was somewhere between them.”
>The new Kong is “much larger,” which Vogt-Roberts says cuts to the core of the new film. “The film takes place in the ’70s,” he explains. “The ’70s was a time where it was believable that we could still be confronted with myth. And there was still unknown in the world.” In the film, “this island pops up,” leading the characters to investigate.
Excited for this Sup Forums?
Kicking off the new Legendary monsters universe, or should it just be a solo monster movie?
>Hiddleston plays an ex-British SAS tracker; Larson is a war photographer, “who’s seen all sorts of terrible, terrible things.” Vogt-Roberts avoids any specific details about what they find on the island, but he’s adamant about what they don’t find. “We’re very explicitly not telling the beauty and the beast story,” he says. “The original is a classic, the ’70s version is great for what it is, and Peter’s version is a great retelling of the 1933 film.”
>“The thing that most interested me was, how big do you need to make [Kong], so that when someone lands on this island and doesn’t believe in the idea of myth, the idea of wonder – when we live in a world of social and civil unrest, and everything is crumbling around us, and technology and facts are taking over – how big does this creature need to be, so that when you stand on the ground and you look up at it, the only thing that can go through your mind is: ‘That’s a god.’”
Camden Sanders
>film takes place in the 70s >that wardrobe and hairstyles
Hudson Garcia
this tbhwyf it aside from the army outfits it doesn't seem very 70s
jackson's was better
Ethan Morgan
>I have indepth knowledge of all fashion from the 70s
Shut the fuck up.
Christian Rodriguez
While fucklong, Jacksons King dong was pretty nice.
Jack Smith
Nigger this is what your average person seemed back then
Hunter Murphy
LOL
They want this faggot as Bond!??????
Look at how gay he looks holding that AK
Nathan Baker
how is it kicking off the "legendary monsters universe" if g'14 did that already?
Matthew Phillips
True. It does look far too modern. Hiddleston needs a pornstache and bowl cut and Larsen needs feathered hair to be properly '70s.
Aiden Smith
will new kong be THE biggest guy in cinema history?
Josiah Howard
seriously
everyone's to clean looking ffs
Jayden Lee
>“The film takes place in the ’70s,” he explains. “The ’70s was a time where it was believable that we could still be confronted with myth. And there was still unknown in the world.”
That is almost literally what Peter Jackson said about his version. Why the fuck would he repeat that? When Peter said that it made sense, but we had satellite imaging in the fucking 70s.
Jason White
Jordan pls go
Benjamin Butler
He has to be the biggest Kong in history to compete with the current american Godzilla.
Carson Taylor
I really like what this guy is saying. I was kinda indifferent until reading those quotes. Kinda hyped now.
We might have kaiju-kino on our hands here.
Tyler Davis
I can't take Hiddleston seriously as an action star
Hudson Adams
but the most important question remains: Will the "It ain't me" by Creedence Clearwater Revival be included?
Landon Morales
When the US military comes flying in dropping napalm on Kong, yes.
Tom Hiddleston's characters screams "All fucking niggers must fucking hang".
Lucas Powell
>I was born in the year 2002 and have no way to distinguish past decades in terms of fashion because all I do is play video games
Elijah Mitchell
They have to make him bigger because they're trying to get a Kong vs Godzilla remake going in the next few years.
Owen Carter
You're as retarded as this guy pretends to be , go choke on a cock.
Luke Young
Yeah, I feel like this is obviously where it's headed as well. Glad to see I'm not the only one.
Caleb Hughes
>"The film takes place in the ’70s,” he explains. “The ’70s was a time where it was believable that we could still be confronted with myth. And there was still unknown in the world"

Jack Jones
Nobody gives a shit
Ethan Cook
Everyone knows this dipshit
David Hill
I didn't know :, (
Lucas Young
fucking bully. i didnt know either.
Chase Lewis
Apparently he's 100ft which is smaller than Kong from KKvsG. So this Kong is about a third the size of Godzilla
John Thomas
Those bones look plastic.
Gavin Kelly
I didn't know either
Michael Watson
Don't take it personally Tom
Connor Gray
>our cartoon gorilla is going to be much bigger than the last cartoon gorilla
oh boy, how exciting! sounds like it will be a special effects extravaganza. we don't see enough of that these days.
Benjamin Smith
These are the most terrifying creatures of all time If you disagree it's because you just haven't thought hard enough about it yet
Samuel Edwards
You are retarded.
Colton Harris

Anthony Kelly
>I don't know anything about fashion and get get mad about it for no reason
John Powell
He's giving me shades of Predators Adrian Brody
Fucking laughable. Doesn't look like he's thrown a punch or taken a punch his entire life
Parker Perry
Looks like a good show.
Sebastian Hall
>1970's >have landed on the moon >have Earth satellites and space probes >have helicopters and jets >have nuclear subs and carriers >myth of giant monkey dinosaur island is still believable
Juan Ortiz
>100 ft Kong
If people complained about how the 25ft one was captured and sent to NY, what the fuck are they going to do here?
Luis Brown
does it have Memelord in it? If not, I'm cautiously optimistic.
Oliver Mitchell
If he's so big won't he just crush the dinosaurs like a gorilla crushing a dog? Unless the dinosaurs are super sized as well.
James Rogers
And how is he going to grab the lady? She'll just be like a speck it'll look dumb.
Grayson Peterson
>The film takes place in the ’70s
That makes me doubt.
Adrian Powell
So how big is the island then?
David Howard
>does it have Memelord in it?
Are you a moron?
Lincoln Davis
Who said they were capturing it?
Christian Powell
Hey guys it's me Bruce, ruling the charts with my new hit album Born to Run. Can you believe they found a mysterious island filled with monkeys and dinosaurs the size of skyscrapers? I know I certainly can because it's the 70's and that's very believable for this era
Brody Flores
>If he's so big won't he just crush the dinosaurs like a gorilla crushing a dog?
>“Our Kong is by far the biggest Kong that you’ve seen on screen, and that translates to a lot of different things on the island.”
Yup, just scale everything up with it.
This is something PJs Kong did anyway with its dinosaurs so its not that unusual
Benjamin Price
Are they scaling up the humans also?
Luke Stewart
>"it aint me" starts playing
Anthony Williams
>kaiju-kino but we already do
Parker Sullivan
>Kong is by far the biggest Kong That's a funny line
Wyatt Collins
No, no pupper!
Xavier Adams

Connor Campbell
How will Gerald Ford handle this monster?
Luke Lopez

Jeremiah Reed
I guess you fight people over tendies and rock that rough NEET hardass look
Aaron Thomas
It's Australia now
Robert Murphy
Jesus Christ, that's one dumb pupper. He bout to get kill by bad snack
Hudson Torres
Will soemthing stupid happen like the King Kong incident provokes the US into leaving Vietnam?
Austin Long
Damn good, DAMN good
Ryan Thompson
>Yeah practical effects are great for kaiju!
Tell that to this John Boyega looking ass
Ethan Phillips
>we could still be confronted with myth. We still can...
Daniel Carter
than he wouldnt be the biggest in history would he? just stop
Sebastian Garcia
>>have landed on the moon
Daniel Jenkins
Kaiju kino got me hype
Charles James
>mfw the US wins the Vietnam war by employing Gorilla Warfare
Joseph Jones
>Implying every single person has to believe the myth in the 70s
Only takes a couple of intrepid, brave individuals, like modern Tom Hiddleston to believe it and confront it.
Zachary Wright
It will bomb critically and financially like everything not Disney
Reminder that Godzilla 2014 made less money than the 1998 movie
Reminder that big names like Superman, Independence Day and TMNT are now flopping hard
Owen Rivera
>Reminder that Godzilla 2014 made less money than the 1998 movie Godzilla 98 barely made back it's $130-$150 million budget.
Godzilla 14 made $200 million on a $160 million budget.
Samuel Gutierrez
>what is inflation?
Ian Mitchell
>something fantastical and other wordly in the picture >the characters are all standing and looking away from it
when will this generic photoshoot meme end?
Dylan Walker
they have guns, they are not there to take pictures and appreciate nature, they are there to kill
Logan Scott
>retards that doesn't understand that G98 was also a huge investment in marketing and killed several companies after it flopped
Easton Gonzalez
got me
Aiden Ramirez
Why? They're not nearly as big as you think they are. Their limbs are very long, but their actual body is not much bigger than yours.
Orcas are far scarier.
Charles Cook
Is this the return of Kaijukino since pic related?
Parker Rivera
>I have shit taste in film and haven't even seen a film from the 70's so, I would have no idea what people dressed like then
John Campbell
cryptozoology, UFOs and spiritism was huge in the 70's tbqh
Logan Cox
Jeans and shirts
David Price
will there be cool dinosaurs
no dinosaurs no buy
Samuel Murphy
NO, NO PUPPER!
Zachary Hill
>cool It will have that trademark Warner Bros. serious blockbuster vibe, they will make them as "epic" as possible
Hudson Ward
looks fine to me
Jayden Scott
...
Grayson Rogers
I know this is going to underperform and I'm sad about it. I always wanted them to do more with King Kong instead of just redoing the '33 movie.
Jayden Ramirez
nice dude
day 1 watch
i love me some cool dinos
peter jackson's kingo kongo was GOAT
Asher Walker
can't believe born to run was released in '75, that record sounds like it could have been released in 1985 instead.
very fresh, modern sound
Colton Hughes
>peter jackson's kingo kongo was GOAT
Ian Harris
Most people don't even pay attention to the lyrics
Chase Bell
>tfw Brie went full SJW retard
Jace Brown
