This video diary at KongIsKing.net (warning - large file, spoilerous) not only features a svelte Peter Jackson descibing numerous and intimate production details of his remake of King Kong, it reveals that this Kong will be the first film of a three-part series.

Unlike his Lord of the Rings films, Jackson and company claim they had not planned on a trilogy until he had been approached with the offer by Universal executives last December.

(Eddie Egan, Co-President of Universal Pictures Marketing)...This is just tremendously exciting for us, Universal... we had some production money stashed away for the second Chronicle of Riddick, but we're not, uh, producing that particular picture. So, happily, we had a significant budget and we're going to make Son of Kong with it, immediatly.


The current release schedule for Kong and it's sequels:


  • King Kong - December this year

  • King Kong: Son of Kong - June 2006 (apparently a remake of the 1933 original)

  • King Kong: Into the Wolf's Lair - December of 2006.

Unless he's battling Godzilla, I don't want to hear about no trilogy.

I think you will find that this particular "video diary" was released April 1st...hmmm anything clicking here. A nice April fools joke I believe from Pete and the cast/crew. I figured it was taking the piss when he mention a shot with 2 browning machine guns monted on son of Kong's shoulders...No oone could be that tacky surely.

Yes it's really PJ. But come on, It was April 1st. I don't think PJ is that beholden to quid to totally go the whole Wachowski route.

i was thinking the same thing. kind of looks like billy boyd made up to look like jackson. is it just me or is the dubbing off whenever he talks? it is really him, though. i can't believe he lost so much weight...he's still a scraggly little guy, though.

this was on the site on april 1st, too. wonder which one's the joke, if there's even a joke at all.

not everyone pulls april fools shit, but i wouldn't be surprised.

Hmmmm, King Kong was Hitler's favorite movie. And the Wolf's Lair was the name of his eastern headquarters in Poland.

There's several reasons to think it is a joke. I'm inclined to think it isn't, based on the Chronicles of Riddick explanation and because of how it's portrayed in the AICN scoop. But shoulder-mounted machine guns... yeah.

I thought it was Snow White.

He wants to do The Hobbit, but he can't do it until the legal issues are straightened out.
