It can be tricky to convey the sheer immense size of something like Kong, but when the beast tears apart a helicopter as if it was a chew toy, well, call the audience convinced.
In the newest TV spot for Kong: Skull Island, Kong takes the spotlight with force. Whoever was in that helicopter hopefully had a parachute, because Kong smashed that thing into dust. Tom Hiddleston and Brie Larson also make an appearance, and hopefully, that isn't their helicopter. Kong leaves a lasting impression at TV spot's end, and you do feel for the poor soul who happens to be in front of him.
Director Jordan Vogt-Roberts is trying some creative things to impose on movie-goers just how epic in scale Kong is, which he recently described to EW.
It was honestly a great and interesting challenge, trying to find scale cues for something that big. How do you frame him in the sun? How do you frame him in mountains? How do you find low enough angles that communicate the scale next to these people without just shooting into a blank sky? It was important that you understood the dichotomy between the scale of him and the majesty of him, and yet the horror and fear associated with something that big. That fine line between looking up and saying, 'This is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen, and I might be looking at a God' and also 'I'm absolutely terrified right now, I may have pissed my pants, and I think that thing's going to kill me.' What is that threshold and that fine line? So finding ways to shoot him and the island and all the creatures in a way where it's slightly more reflective and the scale makes you hopefully think everything in between those two ideas.
Kong: Skull Island stars Brie Larson (Weaver), Tom Hiddleston (Captain James Conrad), Toby Kebbell (Major Chapman), Tian Jing (San), Samuel L. Jackson (Lieutenant Colonel Packard), John Goodman (Bill Randa), Corey Hawkins, John C. Reilly, and Jason Mitchell (Glenn Mill).
