Jackson Shows His Crew Why He Wanted to Remake King Kong
In an interview with Newsweek, Jackson states that he knows he will probably
never be able to outdue Lord of the Rings. Therefore, Jackson continues
to say that King Kong is being created to offer tons of entertainment;
not try to outdue his previous achievement. So, things sound still pretty
straight and steady for King Kong, nothing to get too hyped on
yet. However, after Jackson attempts to under-hype his upcoming film, Philippa
Boyens follows his statement by saying, "For the record, 'Kong' is
going to kick 'Lord of the Rings' ' a--! It will!"
Holy what? This is a HUGE statement considering a film will be amazing if
it can even somewhat compare to the grandeur of the Lord of the Rings
films. I don't know what to say or where to start. King Kong has
an impressive, and I may say somewhat awkward, cast that includes Jack Black,
Naomi Watts, Adrien Brody, Colin Hanks, and Andy Serkis [played and did
the voice for Gollum in LOTR]. The film offers a whole new Kong
presentation served up by Jackson.
To top it off, Jackson sits his cast and crew in front of a television to
watch a nine minute animatic that shows how the end of his King Kong
will look. Here is a quote from the article:
