Kong Reborn

I know I’ll probably never hear the end of this from purists, but I’m kind of looking forward to seeing Peter Jackson’s new take on the big ape due out in December. Chat rooms are buzzing with complaints about excessive CGI (that’s Computer Generated Imagery for those of you who haven’t watched any animation post-Harryhausen) but my seven-year-old, who always complained about the scientific inaccuracy of the carnivorous Brontosaurus in the 1933 original, will love the dinosaurs. And Jack Black looks great as Carl Denham. Just download the trailer here and have a look. For some great pics from the original film like the one above click here and here.

Early press on the movie is VERY good... I'm looking forward to it as well.

I'm of two minds about this. On the one hand, I'm curious to see what Jackson will do with this, but on the other, I'm tired of all the remakes. I mean aren't there any new ideas out there anymore?
Sheesh!

BTW Congrats on being Blog Of The Day!
