The start of the seventies is nearly fifty years ago, a half century. If this were 1950 and this movie were set in 1900, or even 1910, you'd say it was set a long time ago. Of course, having been a teenager in the 1970s, it seems like just yesterday to me. So, this King Kong movie is as modern a setting as at least the '76 version is. Having said that though, I don't like what I see in this trailer. Skull Island looks too sunny and "Hawaiian." Not the overcast, mist shrouded, primordial Skull Island of the real old days.

I'm a huge fan of the 2005 KONG, but I doubt I'll like this new one. If the trailer is any indication of this film's ambitions, they should have just made a war movie full of machine guns and 'splosions, and left the creature out of it.

SOMEBODY SHITTY: KONG: SKULL ISLAND (2017)

I'd like to score it but since I don't have the clout to get this assignment I'd like to hear what Roque Banos would do with this. Or Dario Marianelli. Or Gabriel Yared who would imbue it with some soul and not just score it as an action flick. My 2 cents (which is more like 1.25 Canadian these days)

I could see Giacchino scoring this. The only other 2017 projects he has lined up are The Boss Baby and Planet of the Apes reboot 3. It would be funny if he scored 2 monkey movies in the same year, though!

Does anyone know what the trailer music is from? I rather liked bits of it.

This looks less like the American "King Kong" and more like the Japanese Toho studios "King Kong", where he was just one of the big gang of kaijus. So it appears to be less of a yet another remake of "King Kong" and more along the lines of big time monsters kick ass. Could be fun, who knows. :-)

A clue? https://twitter.com/VogtRoberts/status/758144433388871681 Wintory would be an inspired choice for a gig like this. He certainly has the chops, and if given enough freedom he could fashion something truly interesting. Charlie Brigden and I had a Twitter conversation recently about this and Wintory chimed in to say that SKULL ISLAND has a composer (not Wintory, sad face) who is "very well suited to it."

Henry Jackman is "very well suited to it"? I think the director was confused.
