Hot on the heels that Peter Jackson is to direct his long gestating The Hobbit movies comes news that another character he brought to the screen, in 2005’s Oscar-winning King Kong, has returned for more. Unveiled yesterday at Universal Studios Hollywood, the theme park’s latest attraction, King Kong 360 3D has been produced by Jackson as a replacement for the classic animatronic Kong ride that burned down two years ago when a fire broke out on the Universal lot. Confirmed as the closest Jackson’s film would get to a sequel, The Hollywood Reporter has more.
King Kong lives!
