Well... it seems that the German equivalent of the MPAA (the FSK) has just rated some of the extras on Disc Two of Universal's forthcoming King Kong: Special Edition (street date TBA, but believed to be 3/28). It looks like the set will pick up right where King Kong: Peter Jackson's Production Diaries left off. Here's some of what you can expect...

Finally, eagle-eyed Bits reader Jason G. noticed an interesting omission from yesterday's list of the features on Universal's forthcoming King Kong: Special Edition. Specifically, missing is Prod. Diary 77: 13 Weeks to Go, which features a look at the recording of Howard Shore's music from the film. No doubt this had to do with Jackson's 10th hour replacement of Shore with James Newton Howard as the composer of the film's soundtrack (Jackson and Shore were reportedly having trouble finding common ground on the Kong score). You can view the original clip in Quicktime format here at Kong is King.net (while it lasts).

Also, I'm not sure if a 4-disc set will come out or not - unless Universal just builds in the Production Diaries into a nice multi-disc case.

Any idea what type of DVDs will be used for this release? If either of these have a DVD-18 in them, I'm not buying them and will wait until there is a clear HD format winner instead.

Think the cover art is sweet...also hoping no dvd-18, but I have to have KONG regardless, so it'll (hopefully with no errors) be a moot point. Looking forward to this, and would definitely love to see some sort of offer to send away for a case that houses this and the production diaries together.
