Peter Jackson heeft in een gesprek met The Chicago Sun-Times weer wat losgelaten over zijn komende film King Kong.

Why bring back the big ape?

"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,' "

How will he handle the material?

"Approach 'Kong' in a very similar way to how I approached 'Lord of the Rings.' You take a property, whether it is an old film or a beloved old book, and you just simply have a vision for it in your mind. You can see the movie and get excited about it all over again."[/eng]
