Brie Larson and Samuel L. Jackson are taking to the big screen in Captain Marvel this year, but it’s not the first time they’ve been in a movie together. Kong: Skull Island brought us King Kong in a size we’ve never seen before (so he can stand a chance against Godzilla in a few years.) Although the movie features some beautiful cinematography, it definitely raises some questions. Like… who even are the main characters? Why did Mason Weaver or James Conrad even have to be in this movie? Why did the soldiers in helicopters fly directly at the giant gorilla, instead of anywhere else? Why did Sam Jackson’s character have some a vendetta against Kong?
To answer all these questions and more, step inside the pitch meeting that led to Kong: Skull Island! It’s super easy, barely an inconvenience!

These two guys chemistry is amazing. They almost finish each other's sentences.

oh... almost finishing each others sentences is tight!
Totally agree. Casting did a great job landing these two.
I think they're married with two African babies.
pretty sure they are related...
Damn it I really wanted a movie where japanese and american soldier band together to escape the skull island. Sounds far superior to the actual movie.
IKR
I can't stand it when movies brush up against greatness, and then brush greatness off of its shoulder two seconds later.
Yeah they could have done that instead and it would have given kong more years to grow until the face off.
It's already a movie (just no monsters). "Hell in the Pacific". Or if you want the same idea in a sci-fi flavor, try "Enemy Mine".

"Stan Lee be with you." Is my new farewell.
"He's negotiating for more money if he DOESN'T DIE?" "So he's like, 'I will go DIE if you pay me 5 times what you just offered me and I'd like a little more if I don't DIE.'" "Why would he need 5 times the amount if he DIES?" When he says it like that the line makes NO SENSE. LOL
The line NEVER made any sense
Maybe "die" was a hiperbole.
Maybe hes got some relatives and the money would go to them if he dies?

@@user-pi3hd2bt3f So you demand payment up front, then your family gets the money whatever happens. If anything you'd want them to get MORE money if you die, which is what life insurance is for.

1:22 *"What's..... her deal"* That pause before referring to her gender got me 😂😂😂. Stan Lee be with him.
They ended up casting a female because of that line
Quite surprised the character did not have the ability to do just about anything needed by the plot. A overpowering do anything superpowered superhero for example.

Agreed
Pitch meeting, the only reason i sub to screen rant =D

@@snoopywriter3643 Wrong. The old school King Kong ride from the Universal Studios side is gone, but they've put in Skull Island Reign of Kong ride on the Islands of Adventure side.

Unnecessary sacrifices in movies should be referred to as "pulling a grandma from Dante's Peak".

And later, we can make a movie about Godzilla vs Hong Kong.
How. Did I not. Get this until now?
Screen rant - "I'll get at least 3 marvel actors" John C. Reilly - "Am I a joke to you?"
At least not at most.
“At least” does not mean the exact amount. The sentence is still accurate, since there are at least 3 Marvel actors. How do you even know he wasn’t including John C. Reilly in his 3 actors?
Well that is the thing. The Pitch happened in 2017. So Brie Larson isn't a Marvel actor yet. So he was probably talking about John C. Reilly, Sam Jackson and Tom Hiddleston
There’s also that dude who played Agent Carter’s boss in her TV show in the movie.
At least means just that. 3 or more
“Oh after they flew helicopters directly into his fist?” That line killed me.

Hell in the Pacific. Enemy Mine was a remake.
@@ShootMeMovieReviews bro can you explain what you ment to say?
@@tonuahmed4227 "Hell in the Pacific" is the title of a WWII movie about an American pilot and Japanese sailor who are stranded on an island together, but need to cooperate in order to survive. "Enemy Mine" is a similar themed Sci-fi movie with a human and alien stranded together. Both are actually really good!
“And also he wants revenge because Kong killed a bunch of his men.” “After they flew their helicopters directly into his fists?” “That’s right” “Well okay then” Dead 💀😂
