More from thedigitalbits.com Rumor Mill:
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). |
That sucks. They should just have it on the DVD.
|
Well, this 2-disc coupled with the 2-disc production diaries, will make a nice 4-disc set.
|
Nice?! It'd be what the Titanic 4-disc would have been in the US!!!
|
The R2 Scandinavia will suppesedly get a DTS soundtrack. I assume the R1 will be getting on as well.

Nice cover. Would have like to have seen a better 2 disc cover than just shrinking the image and putting a massive black border around it.
|
I'm guessing the two disc is in some kind of neat package, maybe faux-leather or something.

I really hope that top cover is inside the bottom cover...

This is Universal we are talking about. |
What's the point of having both a single and a two-disc release when we know there'll be a 3 or 4 disc set later on?

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. |

I'll pick up the diaries if they're on sale along with it... think they'll still be in stores?
|
I prefer the closeup 1-sheet of his face, but I'm still all over that 2-disc.
|
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.
