yes, that's quite obvious from the information you've quoted there.

This will clearly be some corny fake crap.... whatever that means.

oh shit, you're right... love is corny and dinosaurs are fake.  Damn, I guess this isn't going to be the realistic, non-romantic masterpiece that the original was.

it's a stupid movie to remake because it was a stupid movie to begin with and no amount of CGI dinosaurs or gorilla fur will make it any better.  it was what it was and it should be left in the '30s where it belongs.  of course i'm sure plenty of fan-boys like you will line up down the block to hop on jackson's nutsack no matter what he does.  we can revive this in a year and see whether or not it lived up to your expectations.

I mean, seriously. What would happen if every director got to remake their favorite movie? Could you imagine PTA's Meet The Parents? Or Vincent Gallos DC 9/11: Time Of Crisis? Or Brett Ratners Rush Hour 2?

haha... seriously though... I'm not a fanboy... I don't even care that much about this movie... I just think your basis for getting upset about it is a little ridiculous.

you should print out this quote and bring it to your family doctor the next time you do your physical, I bet that'll get you a waiver on your knee-jerk reaction exam.

'King Kong' sequels a joke

Peter Jackson said Friday that he will be making two back-to-back sequels to "King Kong" for Universal Pictures. But it was all part of an elaborate April Fool's Day joke. Jackson made the announcement for "Son of Kong" and "King Kong: Into the Wolf's Lair" as part of the movie's video diary series on the Web site www.kongisking.net. Jackson wasn't the only one who appeared onscreen in the April 1 entry, which marked shooting day 123 on "King Kong." Movie castmembers Naomi Watts, Jack Black and Colin Hanks as well as Weta staff, art directors and even a Universal exec were involved. The video entry featured shots of a "Son of Kong" script, monster designs, models and computer previsualized sequences.

Haha, that production video diary is hilarious.  It's so OBVIOUSLY an April Fools joke, and it's supposed to be obvious, I'm sure, because they go into such absurd detail.  My favorite is Pete drawing an image of Jack Black and Adrien Brody's characters riding on Kong, with machine guns mounted on each of Kong's arms.

Jack Black remained perfectly deadpan as he talked about how Kong and Son of Kong would go into Europe and defeat Hitler.

I thought it was funny.  Looks like they run a fun set over there.

i would've liked Kong sitting down for an interview and discussing the story development of the future films and then during the interview he just yells "IS SOMEBODY GOING TO GET ME A FUCKING BANANA OR DO I HAVE TO GET ONE MYSELF?!"
