New Exclusive King Kong Footage on NBC

Can't get enough Kong? Well NBC has a treat for you. They are going to be playing some exclusive and never before seen footage for King Kong during the broadcast of Shrek on Sunday, Nov. 27 (7-9 p.m. ET).  So tune in to check it out.

Three-time Academy Award® winner Peter Jackson (The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King) directs King Kong. The screenplay by Jackson, Walsh (three-time Oscar® winner) and Boyens (Academy Award® 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.

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 Awards® 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.
