While we're on the subject of DVD producers, our good friend Michael Pellerin (who crafted the The Lord of the Rings DVDs) is featured in a new Hollywood Reporter interview discussing his work on the DVD version of Peter Jackson's upcoming King Kong. Michael and Peter also worked together to produce some of the features on Warner's soon-to-be-released DVD of the classic 1933 King Kong. According to Michael, Universal has set Jackson's Kong for release on disc in April '06. Expect LOTS of great extras.

Also today... and this would normally go in The Rumor Mill (so be sure to take it as such)... sources I trust are telling me today that Peter Jackson's King Kong is tentatively being planned by Universal for DVD release in early April of next year. That's a nicely timed bit of information, don't you think?

Gastos...gastos...gastos!!!

I've already exceeded my quota for this year by a shelf. This year was a good one for DVDs but a bad one for my pocket.

Will definitely get this...liked Pellerin's work on the LOTR DVDs. I hope that he'll give this an even better treatment.

I'll definitely get this. If only to better understand the film. Wala akong na-gets na dialogue with noisy kids behind me at the SM Sucat theater last night. And I have no plans to rewatch it in theaters.

Hahaha... I'm very lucky that there wasn't single noisy kid when I watched this last Tuesday. Gonna watch it again tomorrow. BTW, I'm so getting this and if ever Peter Jackson will release an "Extended Version" of the movie on DVD.

Actually, according to some reviews, Jackson shot a scene in a cave where the protagonists were attacked by monstrous creatures but was taken out to shorten the fiilm.. With the theatrical version already 3 hours+ some reviewers cringed at the thought there'd be an extended version.

But I guess if you're a fan, you just can't get enough of that.

I'm expecting this to have an extended edition and a gift set hopefully with a miniature king kong from sideshow weta. Don't forget, the director is Peter Jackson.

King Kong (2005)

Word has it that director Peter Jackson's King Kong will be released in April as an elaborate two-disc set. According to DVD producer Michael Pellerin, they've saved a lot of behind-the-scenes material for this release that wasn't included on the recently released Kong Production Diaries. No word yet if Universal and Jackson will also release an "ultimate edition" extended cut a la New Line's "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy.

King Kong (2005)

Peter Jackson's recent remake of King Kong looks like it will be released on March 28th. Keep in mind that the studio hasn't officially announced anything yet, but we're getting lots of emails from people in the home video industry alerting us to this date. As always, dates do change so stay tuned for further information.

this would probably be a great DVD. It would go well if you had the original movie.

Definitely...still looking around for one. It seems that no one's disposing any of their extra copies. Limited kasi...high collectability value.

A real keeper!

I might be forced to order na lang...

I'm sure Peter Jackson will not disappoint us with his "ultimate" release. Will be CooL if the extended will give us more an hour similar to the LOTR part 3. the longer the better!

in related news, also from thedigitalbits.com:
Finally, eagle-eyed Bits reader Jason G. noticed an interesting omission from yesterday's list of the features on Universal's forthcoming King Kong: Special Edition. Specifically, missing is Prod. Diary 77: 13 Weeks to Go, which features a look at the recording of Howard Shore's music from the film. No doubt this had to do with Jackson's 10th hour replacement of Shore with James Newton Howard as the composer of the film's soundtrack (Jackson and Shore were reportedly having trouble finding common ground on the Kong score). You can view the original clip in Quicktime format here at Kong is King.net (while it lasts).

Stay tuned...

Just a day after we posted information about the possibility of an extended edition of The Chronicles of Narnia coming to DVD... we're now hearing that Peter Jackson and Universal may be planning a King Kong: Extended Edition as well. Arnaud Calistri, the editor of the French DVD news site DVDRama, e-mailed me yesterday to say that Universal France has just confirmed that a deluxe King Kong "box set edition" is being prepared for DVD release in November of this year, and that it will feature a new edit of the film itself. France will also be getting the same two editions the studio just announced for release here in the States on 3/28, but not until August. We're working with our own sources to try and confirm this, but it definitely seems like a possibility given Jackson's track record with his Lord of the Rings extended DVDs.
