Hanoi (VNA) -♍ The imposing scenes and thrilling beauty of Ha Long Bay, Trang An Complex and mountains in Quang Binh Province are showcased in the official trailer for the Hollywood blockbuster Kong: Skull Island.
Warner Bros Pictures and Legendary Pictures unveiled the trailer at the San Diego Comic Con on July 23.
The first section of the trailer depicts scenery from Ha Long Bay and Van Long Reserve in sunlight.
Images showing of a group of white heron flying across the sky in Ninh Binh are interlace with images of Australian mountains, making for a breath-taking scene.
The first village that is destroyed by King Kong was shot in Ninh Binh and Quang Binh provinces. Cane-brakes and bamboo forests are very familiar in these regions. The trailer also reveals the appearance of Vietnamese in the role of indigenous locals.
A flock of storks overshadows the sky at the end of the 2.24-minute-long trailer, a picturesque scene for all tourists to Ninh Binh Province.
In the movie, Brie Larson plays a photographer while Tom Hiddleston plays a British SAS army expert. They arrive on the island for their own missions and discover the giant beast.
The trailer only shows King Kong’s head, legs and hands separately, the full image of the huge creature hasn’t yet been revealed.
Kong: Skull Island is an upcoming American monster action-adventure film directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts. The film is a reboot of the King Kong franchise and will serve as the second installment in Legendary Pictures’ Godzilla–Kong film series. It stars Tom Hiddleston, recent Oscar-winner Brie Larson, Samuel L Jackson, and John C Reilly.
In the 1970s, a diverse team of explorers is brought together to venture deep into an uncharted island in the Pacific - as beautiful as it is treacherous - unaware that they are crossing into the domain of the mythic Kong.
The blockbuster was produced in Hawaii, Australia and Vietnam from October 2015 to March 2016 with the budget at 190 million USD. It will be released on March 10, next year, in the US.-VNA
Hollywood director and screenwriter Jordan Charles Vogt-Roberts have arrived in the northern province of Ninh Binh to prepare for his new film Kong: Skull Island, the upcoming King Kong prequel.
The technical crew for Legendary Pictures arrived in Ninh Binh province on January 20 to prepare for the company's new film, Kong: Skull Island or Titan, the upcoming King Kong prequel.
The Hollywood crew of Kong: Skull Island attends a press conference in Hanoi on February 21. The film will be shot in Quang Ninh, Quang Binh and Ninh Binh provinces over five weeks.
Eight teams will join the tournament, divided into two groups. Group A features Vietnam, the Philippines, Sichuan Club (China), and Australia, while Group B consists of Vietnam U21, Korabelka Club (Russia), Taiwan (China), and U21 Thailand.
Despite strong home support and high expectations, Vietnam were unable to overcome the defending champions, who secured their third consecutive win over Vietnam in a regional final, following previous victories in 2014 and 2023.
The event, part of Vietnam’s cultural diplomacy strategy through 2030, was jointly organised by the Vietnamese Embassy in Venezuela and USM’s Faculty of International Relations. It attracted thousands of students from universities across Venezuela.
For the first time, Vietnamese audiences will have the opportunity to experience the ballet masterpiece "Don Quixote" in its original version by renowned choreographer Marius Petipa.
The contest carried deep meaning as it was the first time the life of Vietnamese women abroad had been highlighted as the central theme, said poet and writer Nguyen Quang Thieu, Chairman of the Vietnam Writers’ Association.
The event formed part of Vietnam’s ongoing campaign to seek UNESCO World Heritage status for the complex at the 47th session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee, scheduled to take place in Paris in July.
Creative cultural festivals are fast emerging as a new catalyst for tourism development in Vietnam, as localities increasingly invest in these vibrant events on a more systematic and larger scale.
This marks the first time Vietnam has hosted a continental-level Muay event which will feature competitions across 28 weight categories in combat and eight performance categories.
Coming to the Vietnamese booth, visitors had the chance to take part in a bamboo dance, a workshop on painting woven bamboo or rattan, or quizzes about Vietnam.
These are impressive achievements, not only showing the efforts and prowess of Vietnamese paddlers but also serving as proof of the sports sector’s strategic and systematic investment.
The cultural event in Canberra not only fostered cultural exchanges between Vietnam and Australia but also contributed to promoting Vietnam’s image internationally
The U23 competition will run from June 16 to 22, followed by the U17 event from June 23 to 28, while athletes competing in the U23 category will undergo weight and skill checks ahead of the matches starting June 18, while similar checks for U17 athletes will take place before June 23.
Vietnam continues to sit just behind continental powerhouses Japan, the Republic of Korea, Australia, China, and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK).
The event served as a vibrant display of solidarity, promoting peace, cooperation, and development through cultural dialogue, and reaffirmed HCM City's role as a dynamic hub for cultural diplomacy and international friendship.
The Indian Film Festival not only honours the artistic value of cinema but also contributes to strengthening the friendship and enhancing cultural exchange between the people of Son La in particular and Vietnam in general and India.
An art exchange programme between Vietnam and Cambodia was held on the evening of June 13 in the Mekong Delta province of Vinh Long as part of the 2025 Cambodia Culture Week in Vietnam.
Digitalisation does not mean commercialisation or oversimplification of culture. It is a way of selecting, adapting, and spreading traditional values through a modern language.
