King Kong Production Stills
Kong Spy David sends along these production stills from Peter Jackson's King
Kong. We've seen variations of the Images featuring Naomi Watts and Adrien
Brody, but I think this is the first official production still of Jack Black
as Carl Denham!

New York Set Details
Dadastep writes: Are you interested in some pics of the New York set in
Wellington. I read about gandalf and his distance spy pics but I have some
closer up ones. The paint is going on thick and fast transforming wood to
stone, not an easy feat. It's really amazing what the pros can do and we all
know PJ has the best of the best.

KONG HISTORY: King Kong is back. In 2005, writer/director Peter Jackson, the
man responsible for "The Lord of the Rings" Trilogy, will direct a new,
large-scale remake featuring a monstrous computer generated ape to be
created by Jackson's special effects company, WETA Digital. However, Kong's
origins lay long ago, towards the beginning of the last century in fact.
What follows is a history of the great ape's adventures, on both the large
and small screen. This history's films and TV series are the one's that were
widely released.
