I found out trailer. Now we can see it anytime. 
BTW, this King Kong is smaller than '76 version. But it looks great. I'm really looking forward to it.

Other than better SFX, did this look significantly different than previous versions to anyone? Not me.
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. ... The piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.

Think I read somwhere that the original Kong wasn't really supposed to be that big in the first place (more akin to Mighty Joe Young) but they decided that "Bigger is better" for an audience. Maybe Jackson is sticking to the original concept?? I missed the commercial.

Say what you want, THIS IS SOOOO COOL! The original and the sequal will always have a place in my collection. But older movies like this deserve the chance to be remade with modern technology! And I hope when movies become interactive, it gets remade again! I'm sooo looking forward to this, but it'll never replace the origenal, IMO!

Sam, scroll back and see Kenji's post. It has a link to the trailer. I just watched it.
Woo Hoo! Adrian Brody! I love him. Looks cool and I like the smaller size Kong.

Years ago my mother used to say to me... "In this world, Elwood, you can be oh so smart or oh so pleasant."
Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.

I missed the trailer yesterday, but many thanks to Kenji!!! I think I'm more interested in seeing King Kong than War of the Worlds. It looks like Peter Jackson's going to do this one right.

You're welcome.
By the way, when I saw War of the Worlds in theater, I saw theatrical trailer. At first, Peter Jackson's greeting speech, "Hello, Japan. I am Peter Jackson, and...." Wow! He's slim! :eek:
