Das steht ganz aktuell auf der offzielle Webseite von Peter Jackson:
Top New Zealand movie director Peter Jackson's next project has been formally announced by Hollywood's Universal Studios.
Jackson will begin work on a re-telling of King Kong immediately after his work is finished on the third and final part of the Lord of the Rings trilogy "The Return of the King".
Jackson was working on the initial pre-production stages of King Kong prior to embarking on the Rings movies.
The movie will be written by the same team who wrote the scripts for Lord of the Rings: Jackson himself, his partner Fran Walsh and co-writer Philippa Boyens.
The screenplay is based on the original story by Merian C. Cooper and Edgar Wallace, which became the classic 1933 RKO Radio Pictures film, directed by Cooper and Ernest B. Schoesdack.
The RKO version of King Kong has been designated by the United States Library of Congress as one of the 100 Greatest Films and chosen by that organization for permanent preservation as a national treasure.
The new movie will be shot in New Zealand, with visual effects by the Oscar-winning Weta Workshop, and released in 2005.
War ja irgendwie klar, immerhin hatte Jackson schon vor "Bad Taste" geplant, ein Remake von "King Kong" zu drehen. Ein zweiter Teil von Bad Taste oder Braindead wäre zwar auch geil gewesen, aber ich freue mich über jeden neuen Jackson- Film.
