WithKong: Skull Islandgetting ready to invade theaters onMarch 10th, I’m happy to announce thanks to our partners at IMAX and Warner Bros. we’re going to be showing the film a few days early for some of our Los Angeles readers. But even better than seeing it in IMAX laser projection before it’s in theaters, following the screening we’ll have a Q&A with directorJordan Vogt-Roberts.The screening will be Tuesday, March 7that 7pm.
If you’re wondering how you can get in, we’ve got you covered. To see this free IMAX screening you need to email thecollidermailbox@gmail.com with the subject line “I Want to See Kong: Skull Island in IMAX 3D”. You need to include your name in the body of the email and if you’d like to bring a guest. We’ll be accepting emails untilMonday the 6tharoundnoon PSTand we’ll contact the people that won passes with specific info about the screening later that day.
As someone that has really dug everything I’ve seen fromKong: Skull Island, I can’t wait to watch the film in IMAX just to see cinematographerLarry Fong’swork on the biggest screen possible.As most of you know, the film takes place in the 1970s, in the midst of the Vietnam War, and features a disparate group of people exploring Skull Island—fromSamuel L. Jackson’s military commander toBrie Larson’s photojournalist.The film also starsTom Hiddleston,John Goodman,John C. Reilly,Tian Jing,Corey Hawkins,Jason Mitchell,John Ortiz,Thomas Mann,Shea Whigham,Toby Kebbell, andEugene Cordero.
Again, this screening is in Los Angeles on March 7that 7pm. Last time was a bit surprised how many asked for tickets that don’t live in the area…Hope to see some of you at the screening.
Here’s the official synopsis forKong: Skull Island:
The producers of Godzilla reimagine the origins of one the most powerful monster myths of all in “Kong: Skull Island,” from Warner Bros. Pictures, Legendary Pictures and Tencent Pictures. This compelling, original adventure from director Jordan Vogt-Roberts (“The Kings of Summer”) tells the story of a diverse team of scientists, soldiers and adventurers uniting to explore a mythical, uncharted island in the Pacific, as dangerous as it is beautiful. Cut off from everything they know, the team ventures into the domain of the mighty Kong, igniting the ultimate battle between man and nature. As their mission of discovery becomes one of survival, they must fight to escape a primal Eden in which humanity does not belong.
“Kong: Skull Island” stars Tom Hiddleston (“The Avengers,” “Thor: The Dark World”), Oscar nominee Samuel L. Jackson (“Pulp Fiction,” “Avengers: Age of Ultron”), John Goodman (“Transformers: Age of Extinction,” “Argo”), Oscar winner Brie Larson (“Room,” “Trainwreck”), Jing Tian (“Police Story: Lockdown”), Toby Kebbell (“Dawn of the Planet of the Apes”), John Ortiz (“Steve Jobs”), Corey Hawkins (“Straight Outta Compton”), Jason Mitchell (“Straight Outta Compton”), Shea Whigham (“The Wolf of Wall Street”), Thomas Mann (“Me and Earl and the Dying Girl”), with Terry Notary (“Dawn of the Planet of the Apes”) and Oscar nominee John C.
