Kong: Skull Island <<SPOILERS>>

Re: Skull Island - King Kong Prequel

I remember watching that scene with the Dino Stampede and wanting to kill myself. At some point my friend called me, and it was like a reprieve from the governor. I got up and ran out of the theater and took the call for like a good 40 mins so I wouldn't have to sit through anymore. Naomi dancing for a big CGI character that wasn't there, Jack Black, Jackson's inability to control his use of CGI. That was easily the worst theater going experience I've ever had. At least with Episode 2 and 3 my friends were there to make fun of it.

I remember thinking the only cool and frightening part was when they fell into that bug pit and those ****ing things were eating them alive.

At one point this centipede is eating at Andy Serkis' head and he's fighting it slower and slower because his head is getting chewed apart along with his limbs. Only thing I liked about that long ass movie.

Re: Skull Island - King Kong Prequel

I never hated or liked it really. In my collective movie going experience it was kind of just there.

Awe, jeez.... I guess I forgot why I hate this section of the board for a minute when I posted earlier. Bye.

Re: Skull Island - King Kong Prequel

I see no real public interest in this film...
As a Sy Fy movie, maybe....

Re: Skull Island - King Kong Prequel

I can't wait for this. Loved PJ's Kong.

Most people interested in it are probably a slightly older demographic who have experience with past King Kong films.
Which is also the same demographic who choose not to participate in boards like this because it's become painful to interact online with anything pop-culture related. See Flosi's comment above.

Re: Skull Island - King Kong Prequel

Is this entire movie supposed to take place on Skull island? I loved Peter Jackson's King Kong, but I don't think there's room for a sequel to it, seeing as how the title character is dead.

It'd be cool to have the first film be the "origin" of Kong, and specifically take place on Skull island, then the sequel(s) could take place in NY or wherever. I wonder if they'll have Kong vs films like they're doing with Godzilla.

Awe, jeez.... I guess I forgot why I hate this section of the board for a minute when I posted earlier. Bye.

Yep... It's pretty much a cesspool of internet coolguys and wannabe class clowns that will do anything for attention.

Re: Skull Island - King Kong Prequel

I don't see how a prequel would accomplish anything we hadn't already seen in the Jackson version. Not to mention, Kong looked freakin bad ass in that film.

I thoroughly enjoyed King Kong. I still tear up at the end, God's honest truth. But is this necessary? No. Will it get made anyway? Yes.

A bunch of poor saps get sacrificed to Kong and/or the indigenous peoples, one of them sees a bit of humanity in the great ape, it doesn't matter, he dies. The End.

Re: Skull Island - King Kong Prequel

Maybe one of the guys who discovers the island can go native and lead the islanders against the hostile Caucasian invaders. They can even bring the dinosaurs and gorillas and things into the fight. Might be interesting to see how a story like that would play out on film.

Re: Skull Island - King Kong Prequel

That's the power of a possible Oscar nomination. After almost 20 years of supporting roles and small films, Directors (Tim Burton) that haven't worked with him in more than 20 years suddenly want to work with him again, and Hollywood wants to put him in big cgi popcorn summer movies Good for him.

As far as the movie goes, I never understood what was the big deal about a giant monkey? What's so impressive about a big ape, when there are Dinosaurs and unknow monsters and creatures in that island that people have never seen before. But no, look it's big ape! Lets take it back to NY because people have never seen a monkey before!

Re: Skull Island - King Kong Prequel

Joe Devito's book, KONG: King Of Skull Island, is fantastic and covers Kong's origins as well as what happens to the island because of Kong's abduction. A ton of great stuff...much, much more than more sacrifices, etc.
Sadly, this film will not be based on that book, but a film adaption is in the works for the book as well.

Now that right there's a totally original idea, something that's never ever been done befo...

In before Riddick says it sucks

Lol ain't that the truth

Just found out that he likes the PT of Star Wars and ROTS might be his fav SW film...

Seems like this type of film should be a possible masterpiece in his eyes

Never read it, I was going to the library tomorrow; thanks for the recommendation.



I'd watch something with Kong after his abduction to NY. Or maybe we get the next Jurassic Park and they get taken to Skull Island.

Re: Skull Island - King Kong Prequel

Michael Keaton and JK Simmons just pulled out of this project. They're not in it anymore.


Hiddleston is still in.

Better to pull out now than regretting it 9 months later.
