According to the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, this February the film crew of King Kong 2 (Kong: Skull Island) will come to Vietnam to film some scenes in the film.

Kong: Skull Island is the second part of the blockbuster King Kong (2005) directed by filmmaker Jordan Vogt-Roberts. The first episode is set in the early 1930s, telling the story of a group of explorers and documentary filmmakers exploring Skull Island, near Sumatra.

They came here to learn the truth about a giant ape named Kong. Here, the expedition team encountered King Kong and his enemies, the giant dinosaurs. They decided to capture King Kong and bring him back to New York so that humans could admire him….

The new film takes place decades after the original story and will take viewers into the “mysterious and dangerous home of the ape lord.”

According to British actor Tom Hiddleston, who plays the main character in the film, Kong: Skull Island will be staged differently from the previous King Kong films and will have a new interpretation of the legend of this giant ape. The new episode will still be attached to the plot of the original film, but will put King Kong in a new environment with special instincts.

Kong: Skull Island has just completed important scenes in Hawaii and Detroit (USA). The film crew has been in Australia since January 1 and filmed on Stradbroke Island, near Jumpinpin. The scene in the film is a US World War II fighter plane crashing on the beach.

It is known that to film this scene, the film crew had to move many sand dunes on the island to meet the setting of the story about the most famous ape in the world.

“You can’t get close to the filming locations. There’s a lot of police and security around those locations,” a visitor to South Stradbroke Island told the Gold Coast News.

The film also stars American actress Brie Larson and veteran actor Samuel L. Jackson. The film is scheduled to be released in March 2017.
