Peter Jacksons King Kong : Watch the Trailer Here

Posted by: Michael

I started out going "who cares" with the new Kong movie and have never read any of the Kong news on site. I just watched the trailer which is below and have to say.. Holy monkey feet, do I want to see this movie now! Three-time Academy AwardÂ® winner Peter Jackson (The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King) directs King Kong. The screenplay by Jackson, Walsh (three-time OscarÂ® winner) and Boyens (Academy AwardÂ® winner) is based on the original story by Merian C. Cooper and Edgar Wallace, which became the classic 1933 RKO Radio Pictures film, directed by adventurers Cooper and Ernest B. Schoesdack.

The RKO King Kong has been designated by the National Film Registry of the United States Library of Congress as one of the 100 Greatest Films and chosen by that organization for permanent preservation as a national treasure.

Please give the video some time to load.

Jackson will employ the latest motion picture technology to cinematically portray the timeless tale of the beast and his beauty. Expanding on the chapters of the tale that take place in the mysterious and dangerous jungles of Skull Island, Jackson's Kong promises to be a unique and breathtaking creation. As with his Lord of the Rings trilogy, Jackson will shoot King Kong on location in his native New Zealand.

Visual effects will be again accomplished by New Zealand-based companies Weta Digital and Weta Workshop, recipients of multiple Academy AwardsÂ® for their collective work on The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Visual effects and miniatures will supplement practical locations in creating primordial jungles and '30s-period America.

Peter Jackson will bring his sweeping cinematic vision to the iconic story of the gigantic ape-monster captured in the wilds and brought to civilization where he meets his tragic fate.
