Wow! Someone else knows who Nestor Paiva is? Hats off, Curmudgeon. (Agreed, that 'comedy' bit is groan-inducing.)curmedgeon said:Hrm. The comedy stuff with John C. Reilly is falling a little flat for me, but his character strikes me as an homage to Nestor Paiva's character from the Black Lagoon movies, which is something I do appreciate.
There's definitely some "Apocalypse Now" imagery going on.Attila the Professor said:Not Dennis Hopper's character from <I>Apocalypse Now</I>?
Y'know, I'm probably the biggest Kong fan at The Raven (yes, BIGGER than kongisking*) but this new trailer has lowered my expectations, drastically. It will be fun but, yeesh, this trailer indicates a rootin'-tootin' & shootin' pile of sh*t (which I'll eventually buy because I'm a Kong collector).Le Sabo said:Final trailer for what may be the movie of the summer.
The 8th Wonder of the World will probably save the day and become a friend at the end.
A cool thing, though, is that the makers have mined the obscure parts of the '33 original for some of the creatures. Those 2-legged-snake things ("skull crawlers" in the trailer) are obviously based on the one that Driscoll cuts off the cliffside...and the spider is undoubtedly an homage to the deleted, bottom-of-the-chasm scene.
