Peter Jackson's King Kong rumored for April 2006 release [merge]

I would actually settle for a single release with DTS and a commentary with Jackson and Watts. I already have the Production Diaries set, so I can't imagine needing any more behind-the-scenes info about Kong.

On The Production Diaries it mentioned somewhere that they had two crews going around documenting the making of the film. A small one making the production diaries and a second crew work on the special edition DVD. That being said I'm expecting a second release later on.

Very true. If that's the single-disc art, then that's not too shabby. Wonder if that'll be the same art for the SE 2-discer - or if they will use that movie poster of Kong's up-close-and-personal face shot.

Figures, Universal is using the exact same strategy like Ray and Cinderella Man. Single disc edition for the rental market and people who don't care about extras and a really expensive 2 disc set. I guess I'm going for the 2 disc set. It will probably be like 29.99 or 31.99 on release day. But, my guess the 2 disc set will keep me satisfied.

As long as Kong isn't DVD-18, sign me up for 2-disc edition.
Looking forward to the inevitable extended edition with 20 more minutes of 'meaningful' stares between Watts and Kong re-inserted into the film.

It's Universal, of course it will be a DVD-18. The movie will probably be split up on two sides. The second disc will probably be the only extras, and most likely will only be in the $35 set.

I really want there to be a studio cut of the film that cuts it down to 2 hours. This is one film, I do not even want to see what the full director's cut looks like.

but from what I have read (Entertainment Weekly) some of the deleted scenes were action in nature:
- an aquatic dinosaur encounter
- more scenes of Kong and the army in NYC
but as ChrisKnudsen noted - I think the three hour theatrical cut was pushing it - the deleted scenes as a supplement are enough for me, as well.
