KING KONG DVD details
I’ve only been a casual viewer of the KING KONG production diaries at Kong Is King.net. While I think they are fascinating and very well done, I just don’t want to overload on this movie before it actually comes out. The diaries have been incredibly popular which is no doubt responsible for this amazing DVD release. Click on the thumbnail to see details but this set really continues Jackson’s trend of outstanding DVD releases. This is being released to coincide with the theatrical release of KONG and based on the packaging, I guarantee you that a lot of people will buy this set thinking it is the actual movie.

Marketing NARNIA: Keeping the christians happy
There has been a lot of press lately about Disney’s marketing plans for NARNIA. Apparently everybody involved is walking on eggshells so as not to alienate the potentially huge Christian audiences. This is being carefully considered in every aspect of the film, from the promotional artwork to the soundtracks being released. Disney knows that if the movie is popular they will make hundreds of millions of dollars. But they know if they can get christian audiences on board they will be able to add tens of millions of dollars on top of that.

PIRATES 2: Keira vs. squid!
In an interview with MTV, PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN actress Keira Knightley revealed some interesting information about the upcoming PIRATES sequel, DEAD MAN’S CHEST:
Keira Knightley: I had my first day back [recently], because we had a little bit of a break over the summer. My first day back was being dragged across the deck by an invisible giant squid, invisible because it’s being put in by CGI afterwards. So I just spent the entire time pretending that it was tentacles everywhere, and the director was running around going, ‘I’m a tentacle, I’m a tentacle.’ It takes a little bit of an imagination; I have no idea what it’s going to look like, but hopefully it’ll be cool.
Knightley also revealed that the script for PIRATES 3 is still being worked on although both sequels are being shot back to back. Also, negotiations are still underway to cast Keith Richards as the father of Captain Jack Sparrow.
PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MAN’S CHEST opens July 6, 2006.

Harry Potter 4 running time
Warner Brothers has announced that the new HARRY POTTER film will will run 157 minutes (that’s 2 hours and 37 minutes). This will make HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE the longest film so far in this series. Potter fans are somewhat relieved, because this book is the longest in the series. The book is so long, in fact, that producers were contemplating splitting it into 2 films before AZKABAN director Alfonso Cuaron convinced them the story needed to be condensed for a single film. Either way, I’m definitely looking forward to this one, and advance buzz is very good.
