Lone in unalterable gloom
Dead, with a universe for tomb,
Dark, and to vaster darkness whirled.

“Kong, I think represents a classic cinematic case of being misunderstood. And so, tapping into that is a very, very pure way of breaking down his character and then getting into him being this lonely protector, and the sad plight that he has is a totally different thing than we’ve seen before. Was it difficult? Sure, but it was necessary.”

Jordan Vogt-Roberts (1984) American film director
