Warner Bros. and
Legendary Pictures have unveiled the first official image from director Jordan
Vogt-Roberts' Kong: Skull Island, which reimagines the origin of the mythic
Kong in a compelling, original adventure film that brings together a diverse
team of explorers to venture deep into an uncharted island in the Pacific that
is both beautiful as it is treacherous, and that houses a mysterious and giant
creature known as Kong.
Speaking to EW, the
filmmaker, whose only other feature film credit is the indie Kings of Summer, says
that he deliberately wanted to make a very different King Kong.
"We’re very
explicitly not telling the beauty and the beast story. The original is a
classic, the ’70s version is great for what it is, and Peter [Jackson]’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'"
Opening in theaters on
March 10, 2017 Kong: Skull Island stars Tom Hiddleston, Brie Larson, Samuel L.
Jackson, John Goodman, John C. Reilly, Tian Jing, Corey Hawkins, Shea Whigham,
Toby Kebbell, Jason Mitchell, John Ortiz, Thomas Man, and Eugene Cordero.
