15 Most Hotly Anticipated Movie Scenes Of 2017
13. Sam Jackson V King Kong – Kong: Skull Island
While Peter Jackson’s 2005 King Kong remake was fun in its own way, it was also insanely bloated and self-indulgent at over three hours long. Skull Island looks to take things back to basics, once again retelling Kong’s origin whilst setting up his eventual showdown with Godzilla.
This new Kong takes place in the 1970’s and finds a bunch of American troops stranded on Skull Island after their helicopters crash. Sam Jackson leads these soldiers and isn’t at all happy about the giant ape killing his men. The centrepiece of the trailer finds Jackson literally facing down Kong through a sea of flames, an image that will no doubt be plastered over posters for the film.
It’s unlikely the two will engage in a fistfight, but whatever happens next we definitely want to see it.
