From Scifi wire

"A replica 1930s Curtiss Helldiver airplane being built for Peter Jackson's King Kong movie will be used as part of a static display at a new $3 million aviation museum in Blenheim, New Zealand, when filming finishes next March, the New zealand Herald newspaper reported."

When I read this, I was relieved to see that Peter Jackson's King Kong movie re-make will be set in the same time frame as the original and, as such, may be a great homage to it.  I'm glad it's not looking like another "updated re-imagining."

Here's hoping.

Its shaping to be great.

Allstar cast with Jack Black.  That theres is enough. Peter Jackson and Jack Black.  Jackson has done no wrong so far, and keeps getting better with each movie he makes.

Wasn't the island in the beginning of Dead Alive called Skull Island? The same island used in King Kong?

King Kong is what got  Jackson interested as a kid in film making . I'm sure he is going to this right.  He was working on it before LOTR came along.

He did a phenomenal job with LOTR, and this is one remake (that news has been online for a long time now) which I feel will be a worthy remake.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
