As of right now, Peter Jackson‘s misbegotten King Kong remake (’05) has been officially forgotten and erased from mass consciousness. You can never trust trailers, of course, but Jordan Vogt-Roberts‘ Kong: Skull Island (Warner Bros., 3.10.17) seems to be a superior creation. Clearly. Apocalypse Kong with a super-plus-sized ape — 70 or 80 feet tall as opposed to the 25 foot tall creature from the 1933 original. I love the vibe of this thing — it looks like wall-to-wall dessert.
