With it just a couple of days until the release of Kong: Skull Island, Warner Bros. has brought out a new trailer for the film. Usually you don’t get a mostly full-length new trailer of material this close to a release and you also really, really, don’t get creative trailers like this that goes against every other trailer you’ve put out. This one plays up the origins of the property by doing a proper full frame 1930’s style black and white piece with the text on it that’s very appropriate for what used to get put together. It really is amazing how when you put together something like this and tweak the audio and work the grain and film effects right how it can utterly transform the look and feel of a film. Change it down to 144p instead of the standard 480p to get an even better effect for it.
The film from Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros. Pictures has a $190 million budget.
Directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts, the film is set to arrive on March 10th, 2017. The film stars Tom Hiddleston, Samuel L. Jackson, Brie Larson, Jason Mitchell as Glenn Mill, Corey Hawkins, Toby Kebbell as Chapman, Tom Wilkinson, Terry Notary as Kong (mo-cap performance), John Goodman as Randa, John C. Reilly, Thomas Mann, Shea Whigham, John Ortiz, Shawn Kavanaugh as Josh, Marc Evan Jackson as Woodward, Jing Tian, Eugene Cordero and Will Brittain.
Plot concept: In the 1970s, a diverse team of explorers is brought together to venture deep into an uncharted island in the Pacific—as beautiful as it is treacherous—unaware that they’re crossing into the domain of the mythic Kong.
