『Kong: Skull Island』, which continues 2014’s『Godzilla』series that gained worldwide success, is a spectacular blockbuster, produced by both Legendary Entertainment and Warner Bros., that looks at the true “King” of nature from a new perspective. After discovering that an island, thought to only exist in legends, really does exist, an expedition team is dispatched, and they experience the wonders and dangers of an unmarked “paradise”.
Jordan Vogt-Roberts is the movie’s director, with Tom Hiddleston, known for his role as Loki in the series『Thor』, as the expedition team leader Conrad, and Brie Larson, Academy Award winner for Best Actress in the movie『Room』, as the war photojournalist Weaver. Other famous names involved are Samuel L. Jackson, and John C, Reilly. The movie has already been confirmed to be part of a series, with『Godzilla: King of Monsters』as an upcoming release for March 2019, and a confrontation with Godzilla in 2020 announced.
GACKT will be dubbing the voice of Tom Hiddleston as Conrad, the leader of the expedition team sent to Skull Island. Sasaki will performing as Academy Award winner for Best Actress in『Room』Brie Larson in her roles as the photojournalist Weaver. GACKT, who showed a perfect performance, appeared to have read the tense Sasaki, grinned and looked at Sasaki when she kept tripping over her lines, and said「Cute」.
Sasaki, who performed with GACKT while being led by him in a gentlemanly way, revealed「I’m really moved. This being the first time that I’m doing something like this, and with his aura being so bright and sparkly, I wasn’t sure that he would talk to me. But he’s been kindly teaching me since the beginning, and I think that he’s a very friendly person」. Upon hearing that, GACKT said with a smile「I’m nice to cute people. Because I’m a gentleman」.
When asked by the MC about forays into Hollywood, GACKT, who speaks 5 languages, commented「Because I’m producing my tour, I’ve rejected all movie offers but, I do want to act in movies from overseas again. It’s definitely a challenge I would like to take up」. Sasaki too, said「It would be an honour, if there was such a chance I would definitely like to take up the challenge」.
