King Kong (2005)

"Lord of the Rings" director Peter Jackson has already turned his attention to his next classic novel adaptation -- he's reportedly making a 21st century version of "King Kong."

The moviemaker, who hails from New Zealand, is expected to begin work on the Universal Pictures film after the release of "Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" in December.

The movie is scheduled for a 2005 release, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Pretty kewl dont you think?
Im sure its going to be way better than that other crappy 80s remake where King Kong climbed the World Trade Center.
Good thing The Empire State Building is still standing 😉

I don't know if making another 20 stories monster is a good idea like what happened to Godzilla(the one with Matthew Broderick)I like the old japanese Godzilla

Okay, how many times have they made King Kong?

No one cares anymore, Jackson. Do something else.

sounds interesting, ill see it for sure.

that was something he'd planed for some years ago, but the re-make of godzilla and mighty joe young was coming..therefore he wait

king kong by peter jackson..sounds pretty freaking awesome to me. if anyone can do it good, it's him

This has potential.....

Rather ironic that Universal make this announcement so soon after closing down KONGFRONTATION at their Orlando themepark.

You really keep tabs on all the theme park news dont you?
...
The movie will be shot in New Zealand, budget at $110M and expected to release summer 2005🙂

I think PJ's going to shoot a majority of his films in New Zealand.

I just read about this on TheOneRing.net. We've seen his directing skills with bringing old things to life, so let's hope for the best.

KONG THERE! 😮 😮

I have been a KONG fan since catching it on TV as a tyke of ten.
Actually had a print in my dorm room in college and a 16mm projector;
watched it over and over into a stupor that one long weekend. ...
Caught the BIG SCREEN version with restored footage several times, including a memorable midnight showing at the Playboy Theater in Chicago . . . .
All in all I am sure I have seen it at least twenty times.
I have NOT seen the remakes from the Seventies (Dino DiLaurentis: "I'm a 'lika Konga!"😉
The script by Peter and Fran is actually on the web.
I have been Googling:
try
"Fay Wray Peter Jackson";
"Jackson Walsh Kong Script"; etc . . .
Of course, the original is on most "Best Films of the Twentieth Century" lists . . .

To the original first post on the subject by
T E X
and will be pouring
all my love and devotion
into his forum subsequently.

"O TARA VEY - RAMA KONG!!"

You must be a fan of Kong then.

Pardon my asking, but what's Fay Wray?

Hmm...

All I can say right now is hello! 🙂
