Even though this looks like biggest Kong we've seen yet, Godzilla ('14) probably still outweighs him by at least 30x.
He will probably just fuck the stupid out of him...

Man, the marketing for this movie has been killer. THAT is one helluva poster. I need it.

Anyone else think the hype on this is surprisingly low? Definitely nowhere near what Godzilla enjoyed in 2014. I really hope this one doesn't underperform (I need the MonsterVerse to be a success!) but sandwiching this between Logan and Beauty & the Beast seems like it wasn't a great move. B&B is a multi-quadrant film that will suck all the air out of the B.O.

Is this a sequel or prequel? How Is this connected to the previous Kong movies?

It's a reboot. Kong is now Godzilla size.

Maybe Showa Godzilla, but the new Legendary Godzilla is fucking huge. He could step on the Showa Godzilla.

Your questions are exactly what I think will prevent this one from breaking out. The marketing has been great - if you're a fan. For JSP, they have no idea where this film falls in line, and even worse may be confusing it as yet another remake of the old story.

I see that some of my local Arclight Cinemas will be screening this in 70mm. The Hollywood and Sherman Oaks locations, to be exact.

Was this even shot in 70mm?

Yeah, sort of, but a bit more than that...

Spoiler:
From what I read, there's a legal notice on the film that specifically mentions Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan, and Ghidorah.

After the first few trailers I was beginning to wonder if Brie's character was mute.

So they're going to sue King Kong? That's a real battle!
