This film is a complete labour of love... If I didn't know that Jackson was a fan of the movie I would only have to watch this film to see that he is...
The original film was 100 minutes and from what I can see, this film is true in many ways to the first film. There are a number of shots that are right out of the 33 film. In fact I would argue that the original film is in there... it's just been fleshed out.
This is the film that Jackson wishes he saw when he was a kid obsessing about King Kong... especially the Skull Island stuff forward.
