What Kong Means To You, Episode One
King Kong means so much to so many, and some of the stories of how Kong has
affected some peoples lives are fantastic. One of these stories was recently
shared with me, and I asked permission to share it with all of you. If you
wish to share your story, drop me an email (corvar@theonering.net) and I
will try to get it posted. Now on to how Kong affected the life of

New York Work Continues
Gandalf writes: I visited the set again today and found that while the cast
and PJ may be on holiday the construction folks and art department still
appear busy. As you'll see from this group of photos, more of the facades
have been painted, some now sporting names and logos while extra detail is
visible on some verandah's. The large free standing poles or beams are
intriguing and as for the rest of the shots, I'll let the fans discover
their secrets.

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

as Carl Denham!

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.
