I love that new poster and the trailer looks great too. The Effects are what they are, I just care if the movie is good or not and this looks both fun and exciting. I'm just glad we're getting more giant Monster action on the big screen!

I thought Jacksons version was perfect. As was the film. This film has a lot to live up to.

I am a fan of Jackson's KK, but perfect it was not. I was slow coming around to the realization, but the pre-skull island portion of the film was far too long. His slow-mo stuff is really distracting.

From the look of the hardware, I am assuming this takes place in the Vietnam War era, right?

Bad Moon Rising is a real clue to that.

Poster is great, love the trailer and I think the effects look good. It looks like they really are trying to do something different here. No traditional dino's for one. Different kinds of monsters, perhaps enough to make me forget the absence of dinosaurs.

The trailer shows only the Skull Island location. Will the movie be confined to the island? While there are females in the move, I saw no obvious Ann Darrow part, perhaps the not in the movie. I'm willing to let them go where the will if they tell a great story with great monsters.

They confirmed a while ago that the "beauty and the beast" story angle is not going to be a part of this. It's more of a straight forward monster movie.

This is not supposed to be a King Kong remake. It's a different story with the Kong character/creature.

This is not supposed to be a King Kong remake. It's a different story with the Kong character/creature.

That's a foregone conclusion since it has already been announced that we're getting "King Kong vs Godzilla" in a few years.

So, presumably, he's not dying at the end of this movie.

Holy crap, this trailer in 2D IMAX was IN TENSE

 

[Johnny Angell]

Is this movie confined to Skull Island?

Is this movie confined to Skull Island?

Wouldn't the answer to that be a spoiler?[emoji6]

I'd think they're still working on a lot of the CGI for this, maybe a lot of the shots in the trailer aren't the finished thing. I haven't seen what I'd call bad CGI effects for ages. If you want to see bad (cheap) CGI, just look at some of those made for TV features on the Sci-Fi channel.

Four new TV spots have been released:

I am ready to see this film.

 

[Brandon Conway]

It looks like a barrel of Kong smash fun.

 

[EricSchulz]

I'm going to actually see this in a theater! (I rarely go anymore...) I'm walking in expecting a popcorn monster movie and I think it will deliver.

 

[Jeff Cooper]

I just love John C. Reilly's delivery of the 'We're all going to die out here, Hahaha. You shouldn't have come here!" line.

 

[DavidJ]

Me too. Makes me chuckle or smile every time.

I initially had no interest in this, but I'm now at the point where I am eagerly anticipating it.

Oh crap! I'm so ready to see this film!

For those of you who remember the advertising for PJ's King Kong, was Kong so fully revealed before the movie was released?

I haven't seen this trailer (other than in a movie theater, I don't watch trailers in order to avoid spoilers) so I can't compare the two but having just gone through the new Blu-ray, the trailers for Jackson's movie showed Kong up on the Empire State Building smacking a biplane and him fighting the dinosaurs.

Jackson released a DVD box set of the production diaries before his film came out and of the bonus features was the complete Kong vs the T rexes fight scene.
