Dark Horizons forwards an article from Now Playing Magazine, reporting legendary stop-motion animator Ray Harryhausen’s thoughts on Peter Jackson’s upcoming remake of King Kong, scheduled to open December 14th. “‘There will always only be one King Kong, it was such a unique production. Dino De Laurentiis’s [1976] interpretation, he left all the fantasy out. He thought the only thing that made King Kong popular was the girl and the ape, and that’s not true. The original had so much fantasy and the whole thing hinges on fantasy. [But Jackson’s] in love with the subject as much as I am. He’ll do a good job.'”
