They add that the edition will contain 3 discs and more details are to be announced soon. http://www.kongisking.net/perl/newsview/15/1151364224 TV Watch: Black on 'Leno' Clip Jack Black was a guest on 'The Tonight Show with Jay Leno' not too long ago, they spoke about Jack's new baby boy, and how he proposed to his wife. There is a funny clip from Nacho Libre as well. Take a look!

In posters and billboards around Britain -- and soon in Japan -- the super-sized gorilla is shown looming above the Empire State Building with a slogan that beckons potential tourists: "You've seen the film, now visit the set." More than ever, tourism promoters are realizing the power of cinema to attract visitors -- as are dozens of tour operators, authors and hoteliers who are capitalizing on the public's fascination with celebrity. http://www.kongisking.net/perl/newsview/15/1151850315 Where My Kong At on MTV2? Sparxfan writes: On a recent episode of MTV2's new animated series "Where My Dogs At?" lead canines Buddy and Woof go to the MTV Movie Awards. King Kong is chained to the stage, a la the movie, and remains onstage during the entire show, his feet being visible behind the presenters. He gets more screen time throughout the show, though, as he nods his head along to 50 Cent, kills presenter Jimmy Fallon by breaking free of his chains and smashing Jimmy to a bloody pulp with his fist, and then dons sunglasses and a Kangol hat when the show is over and he gets up to leave. http://www.kongisking.net/perl/newsview/15/1152141619 LOTR Online Developer Chat Monday July 10 We are very pleased to announce a chat with Jeffrey Steefel, executive producer of the Lord of the Rings Online game.

Peter gave us a little intro of what to expect on the DVD. The disc is prepared differently than the web diaries, which didn't show a whole lot of the production, to keep a lot of the aspects of the movie secret. But now that the movie is released, he's free to show us all the cool behind the scene technical stuff! He's also including extended cut scenes he wanted to put into the final movie, but wasn't able to for what ever reason. So, he went back and had WETA finish them up and now they are included in the extended DVD version. We were shown one of the cut scenes. http://www.kongisking.net/perl/newsview/15/1153581164 Special Edition Kong Street Date Confirmed Tom Woodward from DVDActive.com writes: Just to say Universal has confirmed that the extended edition of Kong will be out on the 14th November in two editions.
