Godzilla vs. Kong (2021) (1 Viewer)

Hopefully this mash up will be better than the previous two films respectively.

That Kong costume from the 60s film is pathetically insipid.

 

[dpippel]

You should see it in action!

I did. I saw it in the theater when it opened. In action it's even more laughable and insipid.

Godzilla vs. Kong has officially started filming and the production has released a plot synopsis:

It's got quite the cast going, and the release date is official as well: May 22, 2020. Time to update the title of this thread to reflect that AND to correct the title of the film.

I guess I'm really getting old or out of touch in regards to Hollyweird.

I read the above news and I didn't know who a single person was is in the supposed "start studded" cast.


"The cameras start rolling on the heels of progressively exciting announcements for the film’s star-studded cast, which now includes Alexander Skarsgård, Millie Bobby Brown, Rebecca Hall, Brian Tyree Henry, Shun Oguri, Eiza González, Jessica Henwick, Julian Dennison, Kyle Chandler, and Demián Bichir. Many of these actors will be reprising their role from the upcoming Godzilla: King of Monsters, which stars Bobby Brown, Chandler, Zhang Ziyi and Ken Watanabe and hits theaters next year."

You must just be out of touch. I'm 60, so I guess the "getting old" excuse can't be applied. But really, you don't recognize ANY of those actors?

Alexander Skarsgard: True Blood, The Legend of Tarzan, Straw Dogs, East Bound & Down...
Millie Bobby Brown: Stranger Things, Godzilla: King of the Monsters
Kyle Chandler: King Kong, First Man, Argo, Manchester by the Sea, The Wolf of Wall Street, Friday Night Lights...
Rebecca Hall: Vicky Christina Barcelona, The Town, The Prestige

And come on, this is a press release for an action/adventure film. They've been over-hyped since the dawn of time.

 

[JQuintana]

Seriously, I'd need to Google each one to see if I recognized them. Of all the movies listed there, I think I've seen one of those movies, maybe two.

I knew the first three in your list, but the rest, I don’t. This happens to me all the time.

Someone needs to update the thread title. King Kong has first billing.

Nope. The title of the film is Godzilla vs. Kong. The poster pulled in from TMDB is incorrect.

Really? Hmmm ... Mr. Kong and I will have to confer about that. There may be a holdout coming.

I'm with you. These are today's "stars"? Meh.

 

[dpippel]

You guys might as well just skip the movie then, huh?

 

[sleroi]

So if Godzilla takes place in modern times, and skull island took place around 1974, this is going to be a battle between a youngish lizard and a 60 something year old gorilla?

I doubt anyone is going to this film for the human "stars". It's just hilarious that they're calling this a star-studded cast considering the names they've listed.

It reads more like a season cast list for "Dancing With The Stars" (which is also a misnomer, most of the time).

 

[dpippel]

Oh, I agree that the terminology is over the top but again, this is a press release for an action/adventure film featuring a giant lizard and a giant ape. It's designed to drum up excitement about the production and is simply following a grand Hollywood tradition.

I'd rather they try some honesty:

"Well, we wanted to get some big movie stars for our film, but here's who we were able to get:"

Why would I go (or not go) to a movie to see "stars"?
