Product Description:
Since its release in 1933, Merian C. Cooper's film King Kong has shocked and delighted generations of movie fans, setting the standard against which all such movies have been judged ever since. In December, 2005, Peter Jackson - whose films of the Lord of the Rings won critical acclaim and set box office records around the world - will release his version of this classic film, bringing King Kong back to the forefront of the popular imagination.
Fully authorized by the estate of Merian C. Cooper, Joe DeVito and Brad Strickland's novel is a full rewrite of the original 1932 novel, bringing Cooper's original vision of King Kong back to readers and fans alike. Set in the early 1930's, it is a classic story of exploration and adventure, at the center of which is the "eighth wonder of the world" himself - Kong.

I bought this item "blind," meaning I couldn't inspect it to see if it was what I was expecting.
First, a little background:
DeVito and Strickland put out a large hardcover illustrated book called KONG, KING OF SKULL ISLAND. It was a prequel and sequel to the original KING KONG novel. Naturally, I wanted to have the original novel so the two could be a "set," so my expectations of this book were as follows:
A hardcover book that was the same size as KONG, KING OF ... Read More

King Kong (6.75 hrs, six CDs, audio theater, Full Cast Audio) is done in a radio style, multi-cast production. It harkens back to the golden age of radio in its style and scope, which is one of its great points to enjoy this piece.
Director Bruce Coville brings a sorta classic noir of excitement and thrills that you would feel with the original film or an old Lux Radio Theater presenation.
You can feel the heat of the jungle coming through the
microphone. You hear ... Read More

This book is an artful rewrite of the original story and much easier to read. Let's face it, unless you are a hard core pulp fan, the dated style of the '32 version can make it very difficult to read and enjoy fully. This book solves that problem very nicely and then some. There are exciting differences between the King Kong novel and the 1933 movie, particularly a battle between Kong and three triceratops that leads up to the log scene. On top of those there are many new details in this book that I really ... Read More

of this novel which has achieved with the written word what shodesak and cooper sought to achieve with kong on film: the most original, natural and organic continuation to "the lost world" that does not actually use the same characters and locations. while the pace of the adventure is indeed brisk, the emphasis on accurate science and the desire to explore skull island deeper and deeper, result in the conan-doyle-esque atmosphere. i wish however that we would see more books about kong from mr.devito, such as ...

This is a fabulous novelization of the 1933 classic movie that most people know retells the story Beauty and the Beast except in this case as one of prime characters filmmaker Carl Denhan says at the end "Beauty killed the beast". The exhilarating story line adheres to the plot of the film yet embellishes it with a deeper look at the events that occur in the movie starting with Carl's last second finding of "Beauty" in 1932 Manhattan, the voyage to Skull Island, meeting and capturing Kong, and the climax on ...
