PJ: King Kong is important to me, I think for the most fundamental reason, which is if I hadn?t seen it I don?t think I?d have become a film maker. I think it?s that important. The moment when I decided that film making was what I wanted to do with my life was when I was nine years old and I saw King Kong on TV. It had such a profound impression on my, you know, my nine year old self. http://www.kongisking.net/perl/newsview/15/1120013944 Frame by Frame Trailer Goodness!

Well, well, well, damned if Peter Jackson didn?t pull of a little miracle. See, Comic-Con in San Diego, especially on Saturday, is a big outlet for Hollywood hype. For the price of a quickie plane ticket, a cab ride and 6,000 baseball caps or posters, big movie studios can target a core audience for a genre film like a sniper through a scope. Fans pay $40 to something close to $100 (all week pass) to basically sit through Hollywood?s commercials on the Saturday of the Con. Showing your commercial to people who pay for the privilege of watching it is a pretty special marketing opportunity. http://www.kongisking.net/perl/newsview/15/1121872660 Kong Files IX: King Kong Lives Part 2 John Michlig writes: I?ll assume that the general warm fuzzy feelings surrounding Peter Jackson?s trailer for King Kong has properly inoculated the kongisking.net community to the point that it?s safe to once again to dip into King Kong Lives, the horrid result of the last time a major studio undertook a Kong project. http://www.kongisking.net/perl/newsview/15/1121869843 Comic-Con 2005: More King Kong Goodies!
