Hey any one seen King Kong yet? I think the Berlin premier has just been or is showing soon.

The movie was shot here in Wellington. Peter Jackson the director is a local boy.

The New York scenes were built on a site 5 minutes form here.

Have a great week.

is "King Kong" your new nickname?
You weren't logged in and signed with "King Kong"!
Shouldn't it be "Queen Kong"?

We of cause had a lot of trailers and advertisement (VW) on TV.
Yesterday a "making of". Think they only said NZ, but not where.

Hope, King Kong didn't see Hubert!
You might have got into troubles if Kong had fallen in love with him instead of the White Woman.

Hi

Ops sorry about the name confusion, although I do quite like the idea of "Queen Kong", it demands some respect I feel.

Hope you enjoy the movie made right here in "Wellywood".

Hi Claire,

well; I'll say Kiwiwood!

I like the name Wellington.
Reminds me of the Vickers Wellington (still like the shape) and of Lord Wellington. In the Hawkstone Park (my favourite place in England) is the small White Tower on a hill. When you look into the tower, you see Lord Wellington discussing with Lord Hawkstone about the battle of Waterloo.

By the way; in Germany some people still use a saying of Lord Wellington! Don't know if the re-translation is correct. "I wished it was night or the Prussians came." Well; the Prussians came ...
