Addicted to Jackson

Empire offers hope to fans experiencing panic attacks at “the thought of a year without a Peter Jackson film.” Shooting on the next Jackson-helmed epic – King Kong – begins in August of this year, with a projected December 2005 release date. Jackson plans to treat the film “as a drama … not as a fantasy … It has to have a sense of reality – an island with dinosaurs and a gorilla, set a little bit in the past to try and make people believe it.”
