"I have stared into the eyes of the ape. A tower of power and majesty, standing like a king." Tom Hiddleston accounts his first days of filming Kong: Skull Island on the iland of Oahu, Hawaii. In a new entry in Tom's Diary on ft.com, he writes: “This is the shot where you see Kong for the first time.” First day, first shot, a new gig: I’m in at the deep end. I’ve started principal photography on a new King Kong film — Skull Island — which is under way..."

"In actual fact, the lens of a camera locked on to a frame of my eyes, focused intently and intensely into a deep, dizzying, almost hallucinogenic expanse of green screen, with only my imagination as fuel to the fire. But that’s what I love about acting. It is, and will forever be, a childlike act of imagining. Sixteen months from now that single shot will sit side-by-side with a shot of an icon of the cinema, from the days when film as an art form was still in its infancy. King Kong is back."

The full article goes into more depth of Tom's experience in the film industry and how it's evolving at an incredible rate withe advent of technology. But the portions we're excited involve his accounts of filming Kong: Skull Island. The way he describes Kong in this film, we can assume his pressense will be monstrous and epic, even more so than his previous incarnation in Peter Jackson's 2005 King Kong. As more details and information for Skull Island are released, we'll be sure to keep you updated!
