Maybe. WHY does every director need to make some new twist, add some new horror? Just make a decent remake with modern quality and capabilities. I’d pay serious coin for that.
My initial interest in Kong: Skull Island was zero. After all, the mighty Kong already had several outings and didn’t really need another.
But I have to admit the trailers look intriguing. Giant monsters, fine actors, what’s not to like. Plus, the retro look reminiscent of Vietnam War movies puts Kong into a different era than the 1930s set original and Peter Jackson remake and the (then) contemporary set 1970s Dino de Laurentiis version.
Unlike so many other movies, this doesn’t appear to be based on a Jane Austen novel.
Too much King Kong, looked good otherwise.
@Bruce Arthurs:
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a space station in possession of planet-shattering power, must be in want of a critical design flaw.

Primates and Prejudice?
Ape and Apoplexy?
After watching that trailer, I’m not at all sure this isn’t a parody.

I really like Tom Hiddleston though.
