In Reply to: King Kong remake posted by TomD on August 07, 2004 at 09:59:38:
I did'nt know a K.K. remake was planned.
Not sure that's a good idea. Kong was remade (badly) in 1976.
The '76 remake just plain sucked.
It sucked bad...then went back and sucked some more.Special effects have advanced, greatly since then. So I guess we could have a believeable & cool looking Kong. Great visual effects won't make a good film. One word: Godzilla.
BTW....if you look back at the 1976 King Kong, it's awlfully weird watching Kong climb the World Trade Center.
Just too freaky man!
Follow Ups:
the original KK is the ultimate. KK vs Mr.T-Rex is immortal. A shame the crew-eating giant spider footage was cut and lost. If
you want to see one of those spidies, watch "The Black Scorpion", with
effects by O'Brien in that film also.
~AH.
I thought Hammer Films 1958 "Horror of Dracula" was an improvement
over the original. So I suppose it could happen with KK, however
improbable IMO. Just don't want to sound too dogmatic. Tried that on
several occasions and my "karma ran over my dogma" each time. ~AH
