FORGET busty wenches — the makers of Hollywood blockbuster Kong: Skull Island are assembling an army of young Asian men to feature in scenes being shot on the Gold Coast.

A local representative for the US film issued an urgent casting call for 173cm to 188cm tall Asian males (all ethnicities welcome) aged between 16 and 40 to work on seven to 10 days of filming “spread out” between January 18 and “mid Feb.”.

Co-star Hawkins has promised fans director Jordan Vogt-Roberts’ King Kong origin tale will be “something special”.

“It’s different from anything you’ve seen and it’s such a good cast,” he told Crave Culture.

“It’s just going to be special and it’s going to be fun.

“It’s going to be exciting. It’s going to take you back to sort of old filmmaking era, you know?

“That’s what it feels like making this movie.

“I mean, we’re shooting at all these different locations.

“It’s going to be a wild, wild ride and I love my character. I love my character.”

More scenes will be filmed on the Gold Coast in the next two weeks before the production shifts to Vietnam, where technicians are already preparing unit bases on location in the northern province of Ninh Binh before the full crew arrives on February 18.

The Vietnam shoot will continue at sites including Phong Nha Cave, in central Vietnam, until the end of March.
