Looking foward friend!
Great story. Much better than the original (although that was great as-well). Writing, and description were all great. Phenomenal job!
Very cool. I'm greatly looking forward!
This is gonna be amazing!
Awesome Chris i love your theories!
I'm pretty excited about the skull crawlers. Extremely excited that this
Isn't just the same old Kong movie we get every decade.
Still waiting to see V.rex

that thing in the log.. crawling out.. I get Mothra vibes from it.. anyone else ? it looks like a wood moth larva.
KOLDWARKID62 - Oh! Thank you ever so much for clarifying that information for me! How neat! :)
@Something Real - It was probably removed moreso due to the fact that it temporarily derailed the plot moving along. It had no relevance to the overall story, since none of the main characters had fallen into the pit. In Jackson's KK, he had the main characters fall in, and seeing as he, like many fans, always wanted to see that "Holy Grail" of lost scenes, had it as part of the plot. I have always wanted to see footage of that scene as well, especially given my fascination with arthropods!
i love the giant ox and the huge lizards
Gman2887- You know giving it a second thought you're probably be right.
GMAN2887 - Is it not true that the Spider Pit Scene was screened before an audience and removed due to the fact that it horrified many members? :)
I'm about 98% sure the Skullcrawlers are a reference to the two-legged lizard in the original 1933 film. It's just too close. And of course the giant spider in reference to the lost spider pit sequence.
I truly love it!
I'm with you guys concerning Reilly's inclusion in this trailer. I totally get that he's supposed to be the comic relief, but it seemed a bit misplaced compared to the tone of the first trailer. I don't think his humor will bring the film down in any way, but definitely agree could have been left out of the trailer. It just didn't come across as serious. The opening bit before the Helicopter gets impaled by the tree, the subtle humorous comments were fine, but yeah Reilly seemed a bit over the top.
The Skull Crawlers remind me of the serpents from 2013's RIDDICK. The two legs, the way they move. Very similar.
I thought the same thing as GMan2887 when I saw the trailer. Reilly was a bit off-putting, in contrast with the tone of the rest of the characters. In fact, as cool as this trailer is, I prefer the first, again just tonally. It seemed more ominous. Way early to tell.
@Ultrazero80 - When I saw those creatures in the trailer, the first thing I thought of were the strange two-legged lizards in the original. A nod, perhaps, especially since Kong's very appearance and stance are nods to the original.
No problem! I'm also working on a massive Gallery update here on Scified, which will help browsing through images much easier. Currently I'm not happy with it, so expect to see some changes soon!
AAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMAAAAAAAAAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've seen a couple of Youtube comments saying that the skull crawlers could possibly be a reference to the two legged lizard from the original King Kong. I'm not sure that if that's true though.
Awesome Chris!
KINGKAIJUGOJIRA - That is an excellent outlook! :)
Well Something Real, seeing as this is the first King Kong movie that isn't a remake of the original since King Kong Lives, I can safely say that it will be a one of a kind film.
KINGKAIJUGOJIRA - I certainly hope you are correct in your assessment! I very much want this film to be an excellent adventure for us all! :)
CHRIS PICARD - These are so fantastic! Thank you ever so much for taking the time to share them with us! :)
Gman2887 and Something Real, I'm sure he'll do fine.
GMAN2887 - After some consideration, I agree with your assessment. Mr. Reilly's character seems a bit, hmm, "goofy". I liked his performance in Spielberg's War of the Worlds a great deal! If his performance in Kong: Skull Island is in line with that film, I will be pleased! :)
It's sort of nice how this thread is still going--Albeit, off and on.
KingKaijuGojira,
I'm not speaking to the film just yet. The trailer itself was a bit jarring, tonally, and as a reflection on the film that doesn't exactly give me fleeting excitement. I hope Reilly's character isn't as off-putting as he is in the trailer, but at present I don't have a very positive outlook on his inclusion.
Gman2887, While John C. Reilly did offset the tone a little, the initial purpose was probably to keep the natives and the main cast from killing each other. By the looks of it, His character has been on Skull Island for a while and must understand how dangerous the island is. He will probably provide some comic relief from time to time, but I don't think he'll completely ruin the tone of the movie. Besides, the movie isn't out yet so there is no real way to to tell if the overall tone of the film will be changed when his character arrives.
I am loving this so far. Im glad its not just straight up dinosaurs on this island, we got 2 legged lizard thangs, giant ox, a weird
catapillar bug. im so excited to see the world that Legendary pictures is putting together. cannot wait for march :D
I always loved dinosaurs as a kid. i dont exactly remember my first Godzilla movie but i believe it was Godzilla versus Mecha G, where he looks exactly like Godzilla and he hurts Angurius. but ive always been fascinated with giant monsters, and i still am.
I absolutely loved G14, i understand why people were upset about the lack of his screen time but it made the moments he was in it much more memorable. i cannot wait to see what Legendary does with there kaiju universe!
I'm a little put off by Jonh C. Reilly. He seemed to really throw a wrench into the tone of the movie. I preferred the focus on Jackson and Goodman from the previous trailer.
That said, the visuals look solid and I pretty much adore everything regarding Kong--His design, how he's walking upright, how huge and majestic he is. My favorite shot is easily the first one Chris posted in the comments.
Wow loved the trailer.
Fingers crossed it's not another bait and switch like in 2014.
