Just in case you don’t know already: Now that he’s finished with The Lord of the Rings, Peter Jackson is remaking King Kong (based on the 30’s version). He’s creating little five minute Production Diaries about various aspects of making it (some less serious than others). They are very well done and someone’s taking a lot of time to put these together. You’ll find them at kongisking.net. Now you know.

I knew nothing of this until Peter had told me. Then I downloaded all the “making-of” clips and watched them all. They are fascinating. Peter Jackson is breaking a lot of rules regarding secrecy in making all this info available. Perhaps it’s because he’s being faithful to the original movie, and thus there are no plot secrets to be kept? Who is to say.
Highly recommended viewing. Very cinema verit? kind of stuff, not all polished and pre-digested like what you get as DVD “bonus materials”.
