Kong: Skull Island comes out next week and I’m pretty excited. Kong is a cinema legend and the buildup to the movie has been great, with some awesome trailers and even more awesome movie posters. My favourite? The one below, which is clearly a homage to Francis Ford Coppola’s epic Vietnam War movie Apocalypse Now.

Considering both movies are set during the Vietnam War, I think the visual nod to an absolute classic war movie was a good call.

Can’t get enough Kong? Check out this brief video on the evolution of the Eight Wonder of the World below.

Kong: Skull Island hits theatres Thursday, March 9th.
