Elric writes: I just wanted to let anyone who might be interested know that the Cinemaworld in Melbourne, Florida will be showing all three films in a marathon screening on Sep. 2nd with a 45 minute break in between. The cost is $12.50 per person, or $21.00 with unlimited drink and popcorn refills. One thing though: These are the theatrical versions, and the extended versions. I haven’t heard back yet as to why they didn’t get the extended versions. [More]
Irascian writes: Joe Letteri, visual effects supervisor on King Kong, will be speaking in The Starr Auditorium at The Tate Modern in London (UK) as part of a series of lectures on digital art. Joe’s lecture will be at 6.30pm on Monday, 25th September. He will be discussing the creation of the Visual FX for Peter Jackson’s King Kong.

Tickets are £10 (£8 for children and senior citizens) and can be ordered from the Tate ticket office on 020 7887 8888 or online here.
