A new trailer has been released this week for the upcoming KONG Skull Island movie, which will premiere in theatres worldwide on March 10th, 2017. Directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts and written by John Gatins, Dan Gilroy, and Max Borenstein, this film promises to be an exhilarating addition to the monster movie genre.
Plot and Setting
The KONG Skull Island film follows the journey of a team of explorers brought together to venture deep into an uncharted island in the Pacific during the 1970s. Completely unaware of the dangers that lie ahead, they soon discover they are crossing into the domain of the mythical giant, KONG. The island is not just home to Kong but also to various other monstrous creatures, making their expedition a perilous adventure.
The 1970s setting adds a unique twist to the narrative, providing a nostalgic backdrop that contrasts sharply with the fantastical elements of the story. The era’s lack of advanced technology heightens the sense of isolation and danger faced by the explorers, making their encounters with Kong and other creatures even more thrilling.
