In 2016, Hollywood director and screenwriter Jordan Charles Vogt-Roberts and his staff were in Ninh Binh Province to shoot Kong: Skull Island.
A studio covering 25 hectares of land, located in Ninh Binh’s Hoa Lu District, was built to serve the film crew.
The shoot took place in Trang An, Van Long and Tam Coc in Ninh Binh before moving to Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park, Rao Nan River and Yen Phu Lake in Quang Binh Province and Ha Long Bay in Quang Ninh.
According to an unofficial source, around 10% of the film’s total expenses,US$160 million, was spent on filming in Vietnam.
Kong: Skull Island, starring actors Brie Larson, Tom Hiddleston, John C Reilly, Samuel L Jackson and Toby Kebbell, is screening in cinemas worldwide.
It has earned around US$4.6 million in ticket sales in Vietnam.
“Many moviegoers around the world have seen Kong: Skull Island in cinemas. We think that filming in destinations in Vietnam is a good chance to introduce the beauty of the country to the world,” said Ha Quang Long, a senior official of Quang Ninh Province.
