King Kong is opening in just a few days. In fact the latest trailer I saw may have been the best part of watching Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. The lovely Naomi Watts on Jay Leno Tuesday (well the cast is pretty much doing a giant media blitz) and the clip they showed was super impressive. Here's what Kong Is King says
..an amazing 3 or 4 T-Rex vs. Kong battle which seemed to follow along with what we've seen in the trailer when we see T-Rexes, Kong and Ann fall down a ravine filled with vines. Kong was doing some major damage to the Rex's, he was tossing them around and even using a massive boulder as a weapon...and yes one was killed in the 'classic' Kong finishing move.
You can really see Peter Jackson's mastery of action/cgi direction
