For his latest film, Peter Jackson is creating a big-budget remake of his favourite film.
The special effects, handled by his own company Weta FX, utilise a monster budget of over $32m!
Mr Jackson was, in effect, handed the keys to Hollywood after the smash success of his Lord of the Rings trilogy. Not only did he exercise complete control over King Kong, along with his partners Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens, but key parts of the production were withheld from the corporate front office until the film was completed.
