Notable quotes

“Kong, I think represents a classic cinematic case of being misunderstood. And so, tapping into that is a very, very pure way of breaking down his character and then getting into him being this lonely protector, and the sad plight that he has is a totally different thing than we’ve seen before. Was it difficult? Sure, but it was necessary.”
— Interview: Director Jordan Vogt-Roberts on Resurrecting an Icon for KONG: SKULL ISLAND (March 9, 2017)
