Jackson's 'Kong' to be Trilogy
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:
Tiparillo: AICN
