This film was made-to-order for a Peter Jackson remake. I am very much looking forward to it.

First time I saw King Kong was around 1968-69, I would have been about 5 or 6 at the time. It was the original movie, and it was... well, huge.

Several years later (1976 if memory serves, I was 12 at the time) my dad took me to see the remake starring Jeff Bridges and Jessica Lange. Again, very huge impact, but it just wasn't the same with Kong climbing the twin towers rather than the Umpire state building.

This latest rendition with today's film technology coupled with the epic proportions that Jackson brings to the screen should ensure this is one for the must-see list.
