Village Wall Set Update
Gandalf writes: After visiting the New York set I returned to the Village
Wall set to find the wall... gone! A largely empty lot is all that remains,
with a lonely blue screen propped up by a few shipping containers. What is
left however, is the part of the set with old village ruins in front (or
behind?) where the wall stood.

New York Set Update
Gandalf writes: Wellington's New York was relatively quiet today (Wed 29),
but nevertheless, progress is clearly visible since my last visit. The part
of the set which appears to match Mickey's Burlesque house from an earlier
PD has a blue undercoat, while further along that same block a facade
appears to be finished.

Kong Fans - Help with the Tsunami Relief Efforts
With the recent 9.0 earthquake in the Indian Ocean, it is estimated that
40,000 people have been killed by the resulting Tsunami that hit countries
in the surrounding area. This immense tragedy deserves the attention of the
entire world community, so we ask you take a moment to consider supporting
the relief efforts for the area. Please follow this link for a listing of
diaster relief agencies that are currently mobilizing efforts to help.

Kong: King of Skull Island Release Date
Joe Devito writes: I'd like to thank everyone who has e-mailed me asking

back from DH Press with a definitive schedule. KONG will be available
Wednesday, Dec. 22, at your local comic book store. Visit

New York Train Added!!
Kong Spies Deeargee and Gunnafan write: Today we went down to the New York
Set to have a look and found that there is now a tram on the train tracks
that were built on the set a week or 2 ago. We took some photos of it and
the set to show how development is going on it. The tram has the number 133
on it.

KONG HISTORY: King Kong is back. In 2005, writer/director Peter Jackson, the
man responsible for "The Lord of the Rings" Trilogy, will direct a new,
large-scale remake featuring a monstrous computer generated ape to be
created by Jackson's special effects company, WETA Digital. However, Kong's
origins lay long ago, towards the beginning of the last century in fact.
What follows is a history of the great ape's adventures, on both the large
and small screen. This history's films and TV series are the one's that were
widely released.

King Kong Production Stills
Kong Spy David sends along these production stills from Peter Jackson's King
Kong. We've seen variations of the Images featuring Naomi Watts and Adrien
Brody, but I think this is the first official production still of Jack Black
as Carl Denham!

New York Set Details
Dadastep writes: Are you interested in some pics of the New York set in
Wellington. I read about gandalf and his distance spy pics but I have some
closer up ones. The paint is going on thick and fast transforming wood to
stone, not an easy feat. It's really amazing what the pros can do and we all
know PJ has the best of the best.

has much more in store for us over the next couple of reports.

What Kong Means To You, Episode One
King Kong means so much to so many, and some of the stories of how Kong has
affected some peoples lives are fantastic. One of these stories was recently
shared with me, and I asked permission to share it with all of you. If you
wish to share your story, drop me an email (corvar@theonering.net) and I
will try to get it posted. Now on to how Kong affected the life of
Christopher R. Mohr Sr.

over the Christmas break, and what's planned when filming resumes next week!

New York Work Continues
Gandalf writes: I visited the set again today and found that while the cast
and PJ may be on holiday the construction folks and art department still
appear busy. As you'll see from this group of photos, more of the facades
have been painted, some now sporting names and logos while extra detail is
visible on some verandah's. The large free standing poles or beams are
intriguing and as for the rest of the shots, I'll let the fans discover
their secrets.

Production Diary: Day 77
New York City circa 1933 comes alive in present day New Zealand! The first
production diary of 2005 gets us knee deep into the NYC set! The extras walk
the streets, steam flows out of the sewers; the depression is in full swing!
Grant Major and Peter Jackson show every corner and alley of the set,
including some of the work that is still ongoing, even with the cameras
rolling elsewhere. We get to see some 'mood scenes' being shot, including
protesters. Take a look! Oh it is GREAT to have a new production diary to
salivate over!
http://www.kongisking.net/perl/newsview/15/1106920191

Press turns back clock for Kong
The printing press that six days a week rolls out thousands of copies of The
Dominion Post has briefly turned its hand to producing The New York Times,
The Wall Street Journal and other Big Apple newspapers. But do not expect
them to be home-delivered. The newspapers, which also include the
lesser-known and defunct Barnard Bulletin, Salamanca Republican Press and
the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, were dated December 12, December 13 or December
14, 1933, and are to be used as props in Peter Jackson's King Kong.

TV3 Screengrabs from Clark's Visit
Gandalf writes: Prime Minister Helen Clark, the Minister for Arts and
Culture, was invited onto the New York set of King Kong - with her visit
covered and shown on TV3's news tonight (Wed 26 Jan). During the piece it
was stated that filming was up to day 3 of the 3-week shoot, with Colin
Hanks, Naomi Watts and Jack Black working on early scenes of the movie.

visit to New Zealand and the King Kong set. Take a look!

New York Set Ready To Shoot
Gandalf writes: Well a lot has taken place in the last two weeks. After my
break I returned to the set today to find it bustling with activity. A huge
marquee and cast caravans now occupy the carpark - all the cars being parked
along the gravel road surrounding the set with access now restricted by
security. Most of the store fronts now appear painted, many sporting
verandahs, although lots of scaffold is still in use.
