Kong Score Do-Over?

Reports are coming in that Howard Shore has been replaced by James Newton
Howard to score the King Kong film. From Soundtrack.net: Sources in the film
music industry have indicated to SoundtrackNet that Howard Shore's score to
Peter Jackson's King Kong has been dropped. Hired to replace him is composer
James Newton Howard. Due out on December 14, the film requires over two
hours of music, which must now be written over the next few weeks.

There is no indication currently as to why Shore's score has been replaced,
and all indications are that most - if not all - of the score has already
been recorded in New Zealand. The replacement score will be recorded in Los
Angeles. More details to come as we get them.

TORN/KIKN: Is currently trying to independently confirm or deny this rumor.
However James Newston Howard's unofficial site also lists this news.
