Description:
Peter Jackson invites his fans on an unprecedented entertaining journey with this ground-breaking 2-Disc DVD release in which fans are transported onto the set of King Kong to experience the entire 6-month production process with the cast and crew.
Amazon.com:
The King Kong - Peter Jackson's Production Diaries is an impressive set geared directly toward fans, collectors, and those interested in the film-making process. In all likelihood Peter Jackson and co. are going to release a King Kong set bulging with extras, so why buy the "extras" now? Fair question. However, if you're aching with anticipation for a major glimpse into the 6-month production process of this modern day extravaganza, the King Kong - Peter Jackson's Production Diaries is an absolute "must have." Housed in a sturdy, faux clip board complete with a 52-page production memoir and art prints, this two DVD set opens up a three and a half hour window into what goes on in the making of a major blockbuster film. The bulk of the footage consists of the 54 "production diaries" (which can be sorted and viewed by production date or production location) culled from the "Kong is King" website. These hand held video diaries are candid peeks into the complex, humorous, detailed and involved world of the movie making process. There are a lot of Peter Jackson interviews, but over the six month time frame you eventually hear from every single person involved in the film--actors, the WETA team, animal trainers, assistant camera people, lighting technician, set crews, miniatures, make-up, etc. It is safe to say that not a stone is left unturned in revealing what goes on behind the scenes on a major motion picture set. Extremely careful not to give anything away, the King Kong - Peter Jackson's Production Diaries, though heavy in the production process, is very light on showing the final product. Nothing is revealed to ruin the movie experience. Well, almost nothing. One bonus video diary is "The Making of a Shot - The T-Rex Fight." In this 16 minutes diary you get to witness what goes on in creating the chilling "T-Rex Fight" from conception to special effects construction to the final jaw-dropping product. It is amazing to see two years of work unfold before your very eyes in two and a half minutes. --Rob Bracco

If you want to know every detail about the making of King Kong, then buy this. Otherwise, you may get bored like I did.

Great presentation of material, but I didn't read all the details before I purchased it. The one thing I didn't get in the package was the one thing I wanted, The Movie. There was all these special features but no movie. Oh well, I won't make that mistake again.

Film geeks will love KING KONG - PETER JACKSON'S PRODUCTION DIARIES (Universal). The 54 weekly on-line episodes are a two disc, four hour plus chronicle that details the production of Peter Jackson's visually stunning, re-imagining of the 1933 giant gorilla gone wild hit.
A special 16-minute feature examines the development to final product of Kong's eye-popping "fight in the vines" with three T-Rexes. This over the top set piece is a brilliant example of the state of the art, innovative ... Read More

The LoTR diaries and extras found on the theatrical DVD's WERE NOT part of the extended edition's extra material... consider it before you pass up this 'limited edition' set...
