Although I do also admit that it was a bit too long, I thought Jackson’s King Kong was a great movie. I would love to see a prequel made in the same manner preferably with Jackson on board to direct again . . . that being said, not too sure how I feel about a CGI version of Kong to go along with it. I mean why waste a good thing?

I would TOTALLY be on board for this film. The way I see it, the more Kong (and more Godzilla), the better. I also thought Jackson’s version was a bit long, and that Jack Black ruined alot of the movie (boy I wish he got stomped by a dino or Kong), but Kong himself was awesome.

Don’t worry about it man. Vic wasn’t talking to you. He was talking to a different commenter – “cj” – who was only leaving one line comments plus links to his website.

@ Vic
I was only voicing my opinion about a prequel/sequel to the next purpose King Kong film. And i was being sarcastic about the statement i made about King Kong vs Godzilla while commenting on how felt about the Godzilla franchise. what list are you talkin about? whatever the case maybe, im just using free speech.

There is only a need for a prequel or sequel if there are aspects of the story left untold, and that’s only IF they are NOT meant to be left untold. Many have said that Rob Zombie’s Remake of Halloween humanized Michael Myers and ergo, removed his mystery and terror by revealing a previously unknown past. This tactic has also made Wolverine a boring character, as I’ve said before – Wolvy should be left in the dark, the way he likes it! KING KONG? I admit there are questions. How does an ape get that big? Is he a leftover from prehistoric times? or a titan-type god? What happened to the rest of his kind? HERE’S A SUGGESTION!!! No americans!!! Let’s have the natives as the only humans, a’la Apocalypto or Rapa Nui, bring on the subtitles!

I would love to see this….if they could incorporate the book with alot of what Mr. Jackson created. Alot of questions to be answered. How did Kong break his jaw? How did he get the scars on his right side? What other Kong like species were buried in the grave yard we saw? Kong’s siblings? I agree with Steve on this. ( Hell Steve, I even have a bad copy of King Kong Escapes!) Bring it! One of the greatest Cinema Monsters of all time! Mr. Cooper would be proud.

I think this film could work. peter jackson’s king kong, especially the deluxe editon was great. yeh the romance was drawn out too much, but it was still worthy. I wwonder if Jack Black will come back as Denham.

@cj

You’re flagged for auto-moderation, bud. One sentence comments with a link longer than what you have to add on every single post = spammer as far as I’m concerned.

Stop putting your link on every single comment and actually add to the conversation in a meaningful way and I’ll remove you from the list.

Im not much of a Godzilla fan so i could careless. Whatever you wanna call it, looked like a better Godzilla than Japan’s version that looked too fake to me.

“LOL or they could a remake King Kong VS. Godzilla using the Godzilla that was in matthew Brodwick film.”

Except that wasn’t Godzilla in that film.

Peter Jackson’s King Kong film was great. why not have a prequel/sequel to it? They already remade King Kong more than once before Jackson made his. Why not do somthing different. LOL or they could a remake King Kong VS. Godzilla using the Godzilla that was in matthew Brodwick film.

The original 1933 King Kong is my favourite movie of all time. I even like the sequel, Son of Kong, made the same year by Merian C. Cooper with some of the same actors (Carl Denham’s character at least). I even have both remakes (1976, 2005) and the sequel to the ’76 version, King Kong Lives, starring Linda Hamilton (where Kong receives a pacemaker after his fatal fall!, hilariously bad)
Jackson’s film, while brilliant, was too long. Everyone knows the story of Kong so why he made us wait over an hour to see him was a bit silly. Incidentally if you can get to see this in HD/Blu Ray I recommemend you do. Kong looks unreal with every single hair on his body superbly detailed.
This new sequel/prequel could go either way but I’m still gladdened by the news. If they’re really gonna honour Cooper’s legacy then go for it.
I just can’t get enough Kong.
