Skull Island Image Teases Huge King Kong; Plot Details Revealed

It was previously said that Kong: Skull Island will feature the largest King Kong ever, and now we get an idea on just how big the great ape will be.

EW.com debuted the above Kong: Skull Island which features the skull of a giant ape as well as Tom Hiddleston and Brie Larson amidst the boneyard.

“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,” director Jordan Vogt-Roberts offers. “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 continues with mention of specifics regarding the size of the new King Kong, but only teases it’s “much larger” than previous versions.

“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.”

Plot details are also made known as well as Hiddleston and Larson’s characters:

“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.” At the start of the decade, NASA launched a satellite program later known as LANDSAT, which involved satellites mapping the world from space – the end of that “unknown.” In the film, “this island pops up,” leading the characters to investigate.

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.’” Pretty big, we’re guessing? “You will see when we drop a trailer,”

Look for more about Kong: Skull Island at next week’s Comic-Con.

“Kong: Skull Island” has a March 10, 2017 release, with Godzilla Vs. King Kong released on May 29, 2020.

Guardians of the Galaxy 2 Concept Art Revealed Ahead Of Comic-Con

Ahead of next week’s Comic-Con, Marvel Studios and James Gunn have revealed a piece of Guardians of the Galaxy 2 concept art by artist Andy Park.

The image features members of the Guardians of the Galaxy including a first look at Mantis, played by Pom Klementieff. We also see the return of Groot, though per the image apparently as a sprung (i.e. baby Groot).

James Gunn also offered on Facebook that it remains to be seen whether or not Karen Gillan’s Nebula is a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy, but did confirm Michael Rooker’s Yondu has joined the squad.

“Yondu for sure. With Nebula, well, you never know what’s up with that one,” Gunn said.

Guardians of the Galxy 2 executive producer Jonathan Schwartz also offered the following to EW.com about Mantis and Groot:

“She has never really experienced social interaction,” Schwartz aid. “Everything she learns about dealing with people, she learns from the Guardians of the Galaxy, which is a very weird group to learn your social intricacies from.

“He doesn’t have the wisdom and experience of that Groot,” Schwartz said. “He’s a younger Groot and a more rambunctious Groot. The question is, is he the same Groot, just smaller? Or is he a different Groot that’s sprung up from the seed of the first Groot?”

James Gunn and the cast of the Guardians of the Galaxy 2 will also be at Comic-Con, with a teaser being released exclusive to the SDCC.

“Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” has a May 5, 2017 release starring Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Karen Gillan, Bradley Cooper, Vin Diesel, Michael Rooker and Sean Gunn. New cast members include Pom Klementieff, Elizabeth Debicki, Chris Sullivan and Kurt Russell.

No China For Ghostbusters Reboot

This is a definte blow to Sony’s pocketbooks as it’s learned the #2 film market in the world isn’t going to show the Ghostbusters reboot.

THR reports while China does often ban movies for featuring ghosts and such, that wasn’t the determining factor why the movie was banned.

“It’s been confirmed that Ghostbusters won’t be coming to China, because they think it’s not really that attractive to Chinese audiences,” says one Chinese executive. “Most of the Chinese audience didn’t see the first and second movies, so they don’t think there’s much market for it here.”

China has been more instrumental as of late in a lot of movie studios box office success. The Chinese box office saw huge draws for Zootopia ($235.5 million), Warcraft ($221 million) and Captain America: Civil War ($190.4 milion), so Sony is definitely missing out.

It’s said Sony even changed the title of the Ghostbusters reboot to accommodate Chinese audiences (removing “Ghost”); however, that apparently doesn’t matter as Chinese officials have opted to not show the movie.

“Ghostbusters” has a July 15, 2016 release directed by Paul Feig also starring Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones, Charles Dance and Michael Kenneth Williams.

Synopsis:

Ghostbusters makes its long-awaited return, rebooted with a cast of hilarious new characters. Thirty years after the beloved original franchise took the world by storm, director Paul Feig brings his fresh take to the supernatural comedy, joined by some of the funniest actors working today – Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones, and Chris Hemsworth. This summer, they’re here to save the world.

First Look At Pennywise the Clown In New “It” 2017 Movie

Check out a first look at Pennywise the Clown in the upcoming Stephen King It feature film.

Bill Skarsgård plays the character.

“It’s such an extreme character. Inhumane,” Skarsgård told EW. “It’s beyond even a sociopath, because he’s not even human. He’s not even a clown. I’m playing just one of the beings It creates.”

A TV mini-series for It aired in the ’90s, but Skarsgård notes they are doing a fresh take on Stephen King’s classic story.

“It’s important that we do something fresh and original for this one. It’s purposely not going toward that weird, greasy look,” said Skarsgård.

Regarding the creature, It:

“It truly enjoys the shape of the clown Pennywise, and enjoys the game and the hunt,” the actor says. “What’s funny to this evil entity might not be funny to everyone else. But he thinks it’s funny.”

It has a September 8, 2017 release directed by Andrés Muschietti (Mama) also starring Owen Teague, Jaeden Lieberher, Nicholas Hamilton, Steven Williams, Megan Charpentier, Sophia Lillis, Finn Wolfhard, Wyatt Oleff, Jeremy Ray Taylor, Stephen Bogaert, Ari Cohen, Jack Grazer, Chosen Jacobs and Javier Botet.

Matt Damon Would Play A Ben Affleck-Directed Super Hero

As Matt Damon happens to be best friends with Ben Affleck, many fans have joked about Damon playing Robin to Affleck’s Batman.

Speaking with the Irish Examiner, while Damon laughs at the idea of Robin, he does admit he would be open to playing a superhero if Ben Affleck was directing.

“I’d consider anything with the right director, but I can’t imagine there are any superheroes left, I think they’re all taken at this moment,” Damon said. “If [Ben] was directing me, I’d jump on it in a New York minute. I’d love to work with Ben.

“The problem with Ben is every time he directs a movie, he gives himself the best role in it,” Damon continues. “So until he’s willing to give up the best role to one of his friends, we’re not going to get on with it.”

As noted, perhaps with Affleck unwilling to give up the best superhero role (Batman), maybe Matt Damon could take on the role of a villain?

Or for that matter, a superhero that hasn’t yet been cast in the DCEU: Matt Damon as Green Lantern Hal Jordan?

Matt Damon has also drawn some heat as of late over his words regarding gun control. The actor makes his living making millions off of movies that include guns, but Damon recently stated he would like to see the U.S. adopt Australia’s strict gun control laws.
