Synopsis: In the spirit of its worldwide blockbuster Godzilla, Legendary Pictures presents a bold new take on the mythos of another iconic beast with Kong: Skull Island, which stars Tom Hiddleston( The Avengers and Thor series). Directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts( The Kings of Summer) and written by John Gatins( Flight) and Max Borenstein( Godzilla), Kong: Skull Island will fully immerse audiences in the mysterious and dangerous home of the king of the apes as a team of explorers ventures deep inside the treacherous, primordial island. Legendary’ s story honors the foundations of existing King Kong lore, but places it in an entirely new, distinct timeline.
Marketing / Promotion: Big displays- maybe a huge Kong peering over the marquee or above the theatre roof would help generate interest and curiosity. Great trailer of monsters on an island remind one of Jurassic Park. Have a radio station tie in other merchants with prizes to first callers when they hear a drum beating or“ Bad Moon Rising” playing on the radio. Target young adults and sci-fi fans. Have station tape reactions of fans coming out of theatre on opening night to feature in the promotion. Create a Kong photo op.
