Harry says it all. I knew about this about a year before LOTR came out, and have been hoping it would come true. PJ can make a hell of a spectacle out of Kong.

Well I'll be damned... Sounds cool!

I can totally see this working... *prays that we don't get another Tim-Burton-on-Planet-of-the-Apes debacle*

Well, Its been a rumor for quite a long time now. Hopefully it will become true. He might make one great King Kong flick, but I wish he went back to his low budget roots, and gave us another flick in style of Dead Alive or Bad Taste.

Eh, another Kong remake. Who cares. What'll he climb this time?

After LotR? He is never making any of those ever again.

Yeah, there's no chance in hell.

I wanna see the heroin-addicted frog in this one.


+5 to anyone who catches the reference.

Despair- It's official, read the story and you'll see that Universal officially announced it.
As for another low budget flick, PJ has been saying for a long time that he wants to make one or two low budget movies before he goes on to something big (which is King Kong) again. AICN actually has a hint about what it is, seems right now PJ is shooting some low budget thing in some NZ forests, they even got a picture of some sort of Yeti creature that will be in it.

I'd go see it...
