In less than two weeks, Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros. will take moviegoers to a place where monsters roam the land... and don't take too kindly to visitors, and you can watch the final trailer and a sneak peek of the new VR experience for Kong: Skull Island right now.
"Enter the world of Skull Island and experience a face-to-face encounter with the king.
As the the ultimate monster icon returns to the big screen in Kong: Skull Island, Warner Bros. and Legendary present an immersive 360-degree experience that brings the mighty Kong to life in VR for the first time.
Developed by Legendary VR, ILMxLabs and the same VFX team that worked on the film, this visually stunning adventure places YOU at the center of an epic battle sequence as you join the Sky Devil helicopter squadron on a flight across the uncharted destination of Skull Island.
