Now that Peter Jackson has the top movie in the world he is just laying back and resting right? Wrong! The man is now setting up shop and getting to work on his upcoming chest-pounding ape film, the remake of King Kong.
Jackson spoke shortly with the Chicago Sun-Times on the flick and why he has chosen to do it, “I’ve loved ‘King Kong’ ever since I was a kid and it inspired me to make films. There’s a generation of kids now who don’t love old films with jerky special FX [effects] and the heightened acting styles of the ’30s. That’s why I wanted to do a new ‘Kong,’ ” he says.
