Something I just noticed in the SDCC trailer


If you stop at 1:35 which is the shot that shows the fleet of choppers approaching the massive silhouette of Kong's legs, you can see the the burning helicopter with the palm tree still lodged inside it. This probable indicates that shot will be the big reveal of Kong in the beginning of the film.

By bizarre coincidence I just posted a new thread on how i'd like to see him revealed but you're probably right there.

It's an interesting thought. I mean, how would they miss seeing the 100 foot gorilla otherwise?

What's missing in movies is same as in society: a good sense of work ethic and living up to ideals.

Well it is set in the same cinematic universe where Godzilla and the Muto can suddenly sneak up on people without being noticed.

Lol true.

Just thinking...I don't think that will be at the beginning. Clever editing of a trailer could mean that goodmans character could be lowering his camera in awe at a completely different scene.

It just feels wrong to me to have that towards the beginning

reply

I am pretty sure that scene is not from the beginning,
like TheDude said, editing...
I think they will land on the island first,
establish field headquarters, then something will happen,
they'll start to question their decision to go further down the island,
but they'll decided to go on with the mission in a hurry,
and then palm tree will hit them,
I think shot of Kong's legs is indeed his first appearance,
I mean we had Godzilla airport introduction in trailers...
But I don't believe he will show up before at least half an hour into the movie.

reply

Maybe the first time they'll suspect something big lives on the island is when they come across the bones?

the new interview with JVR has claimed that we wont be waiting long for the reveal, so 20-35 minutes seems about right
