A New King Kong remake will hit theaters in 2005... :mad:

i'm tellin' ya, remakes suck

the 70's remake was decent because it was still before they had super special effects and stuff, but they can't make one in this age, they just caaaaaaaaan't!!!!!!!grrrrr :mad: :mad:

I predict that it'll bomb!

I can't wait to ignore this movie when it makes it to theaters.


;)

I'm actually ok about this remake:

1)People who have seen the graphics being designed for King Kong say that they're excellent

2)Peter Jackson is a fan of King Kong- and says he's doing the remake to make up for one of the disastrous and atrocious remakes- so as a fan I don't think he'll screw it up

3) Julia Roberts was supposedly interested in the Fay Wraye part.

4) A scene that was supposedly cut (or maybe just on the shooting script but never filmed) in which on the Island where King Kong is found the hunters also come across a giant spider- and someone is eaten by it- maybe be put into the film.

It seems like a remake I won't really mind. I hate remakes done just for the whole Hollywood 'make it again so the teeny boppers will like it' attitude- this doesn't seem to be like that.
Also they could do worse and do another King Kong rip- like 'King Kong Lives' or 'King Kong vs. Godzilla' which were crap.

Notice- in King Kong Lives how they just happen to have jumbo sized medical equipment around for an ape that size? It's kind of funny- as though they were expecting it.

Well, I didn't know Peter Jackson was involved. I think I have changed my mind about this project.

Question: Is the remake set in modern times, or are they going back to the same time period as the original. I think it would be cool to see some reall cool modern special effects in a 1920's setting.

Oh boy, here it comes! Another CGI movie monster. Blah.:(
I'm not saying that computer graphics aren't good, it's just that to me they seem to lack any humanity.
