Some Info on King Kong movie film status

This info, comes form the man himself: Peter Jackson.

• King Kong character appearance has been changed. It's no more like the Kong we saw on the first King Kong trailer. Now it looks older and more battered.
• The running time of the movie, which is 3hours aprox. Is due to the focus on the story in special on the relationship between King Kong and Ann, who is played by actress Naomi Watts.
• The big fight, between King Kong and the T-Rex is 9 minutes long. And it is going to be spectacular!
• Howard Shore was replaced, sad, but he "didn't click" :P
