Wellington Chamber of Commerce has said that the film is worth “many millions of dollars” to Wellington’s economy and further delays may mean the film does not start shooting until next year. Del Toro announced yesterday he had quit the The Lord of the Rings prequel over frustration with repeated delays. He had commitments to other films and said his resignation was “the hardest decision I’ve ever taken”.

A total of $15,000 in cash will be awarded to the best short films depicting Kong’s journey back to Hollywood. Universal Studios Hollywood plans to use the winning videos in the park, online, and for broadcast. Here is a link to the competition page on Zooppa. Comments Off Peter Jackson’s Kong invades Dodgers StadiumPromotion continues for Peter Jackson’s KING KONG 360 3-D Ride at Universal Studios! Catastrophe stuck at Dodger stadium early yesterday morning, when giant ape footprints were found lining the baseball field, tracking from home plate through to center field. Further investigations revealed that the footprints belonged to none other than King Kong, who had decided to monkey around in the famous stadium on his way to headlining a new attraction at Universal Studios Hollywood, King Kong 360 3-D.

When the notion of making performance-capture films based on Hergé‘s Tintin stories first came up, the plan was to make three films. Steven Spielberg would direct the first, Peter Jackson the next, and there was a theoretical third film mentioned here and there. But financing was problematic, and by the time Spielberg’s The Adventures of Tintin was working its way through post-production the film’s subtitle had been dropped and we weren’t hearing much about the second movie. We knew a screenwriter had been hired, but the future of the sequel was less than certain. 
It was the film that put Academy-Award winner Peter Jackson on the international film circuit. It was the film that rocketed Academy-Award winner Kate Winslet to fame. It was the film based on a crime that shocked a nation. Peccadillo Pictures are proud to present the UK trailer for the remastered edition of HEAVENLY CREATURES. With exclusive extra features including postcards, trailer and “Looking Back”: Empire Magazine’s Kim Newman, Total Film’s Rosie Fletcher and Frightest’s Alan Jones remember Heavenly Creatures
