Cool website! Oh yeah, the movie will be good too!
Are you a movie buff? Sci Fi buff? F/X buff? Then I have the site for you.
Peter Jackson (not the heavy troll look alike from Lord of the Rings fame but the new improved and svelte 70 lbs thinner director of the upcoming King Kong movie) has a new website you just have to see. It is normally very difficult to get any news about a movie while it's being filmed or finalized for release. You might get a "leaked" photo or two and a couple of rumors but that's it. Well Mr. Jackson thought he'd turn that idea on its ear. He has created KongisKing.net which truly takes you behind the scenes of the movie. There are candid interviews with actors during filming, in depth look at F/X, hosted online chats about the movie, video of post production, a store, get an insiders view of his development of the game, you can even sign up for your very own KingKong Visa card! One of the things that I thought was most cool is you can actually watch Jackson editing the film.Jackson approached the film company about setting up a site and they said that they "didn't want to expose so much of the film before release". So Jackson told them to "bugger off" and set up his own site! Before I wasn't looking forward to the film other than seeing what Jackson's vision would end up looking like. For those of you who don't know, King Kong was the movie that made Jackson fell he should be a director and its been his dream to redo it. Now I've been on this site everyday and there is always new content. All directors should make their films this accessible. I can tell you I'll be the first in line to see the film now.
Check it out.
