Maybe he'll climb the WTC towers? That would be controversial.

And the title would be...

(ba dump bump...)

Return of the King Kong: The Two Towers

While Godzilla was lackluster, it was made by people who were bound and determined to remake the creature as they wanted. PJ has more respect for King Kong than LOTR, and LOTR had a great deal of devotion to getting it right. This is what PJ has always wanted to do, I doubt he will go in there with the intent to screw it up.

I don't think it sounds interesting - even if PJ is directing. I am sure it will be decent (WETA will be fantastic), but the story never had me that excited in the first place.

Why not KING KONG VS. GODZILLA remake instead.

Actually they are the tallest building in the world

And this Tower in Kuala Lumpur

Only because they count spires. Sears Tower in Chicago still is the tallest stories.

USA! USA! USA!

I'm another person that isn't interested in this at all. I've always felt the acclaim Peter Jackson recieved/recieving for LOTR has been overstated and a new King Kong flick doesn't sound enticing at all.

was hoping he would tackle the C.S. Lewis series OUT OF THE SILENT PLANET. If he could pull that off, he's the king.

I would reserve judgment until you see the result. The original is a classic, but that does not mean something good cannot be done with it today.

Some remakes, such as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, are an out-and-out bad idea because they are of a specific time, place and mindset that cannot be replicated.

Others, such as this one and Solaris (although that one is called hardly a remake at all by some people) have potential because they're simply great stories that can be given a new variation.

Problem is, a lot of people seem to have made up their mind already on this and will not even see it to give judgment.
However, people had a lot of negative buzz about LOTR when its preview first hit, and you see how that resulted.

Naomi is soooo beautiful.......

Ok, if they're fighting Ebira, does Godzilla make an appearance?

Surely you have SOME interest, or you wouldn't have taken the time to look at and post in this thread.

I don't know what you're all talking about, I have high hopes for this movie...

Don't know if anyone else noticed, but PJ mentioned making "Kong 3" as well in the production diaries on kongisking. He was talking as if it's a done deal. Obviously the first one came out pretty well...

Didn't see them mentioned here, but few other points about Kong 2 (Son of Kong):
- The second movie will take place during the WW2
- The original cast has all been reassembled for the second movie
- The climax will take place in Europe with son of kong fighting genetically engineered beasts created by the Nazis.

I'm up for this! Once this comes out, maybe they can burn all copies of the '76 crapfest.

You mean the Production Diary dated April 1st?

Fizuck. I done been punked?

That's pretty impressive that they got the entire crew and cast involved. They even had some fake animatics drawn up and some fake sculptures...

That was a VERY good set up. Going into it knowing the sequels were a joke, I found it hilarious as the approach they were taking seems exactly like one the a studio would take if it were up to them. Machine guns on Kong Jr.'s shoulders!

Kudos to the crew for making some impressive pre-production concept art and going as far as to give the movies titles and release dates!

I'm certain this movie will be a success, if only for the LOTR fanboys who have been all over PJ's Kong for the last few years anyway.

Uh oh.

Is Kong sitting down and choking himself? Looks like crap. They should have had him standing up so you can fully see him. Damn dirty ape.

i think it looks very natural and realistic. PJ really does know what he is doing.
