Ok, i have to know if this is for real. Son of Kong running around fighting the Nazi's with guns strapped to his back? It's April 1st, so i'm a little skeptical. I have to admit, i hope they do it, but it seems like a joke.... Any other opinions?

Hah hahrrrrrr!

Now I was cracking up with the animatic of the main characters riding piggy-back on Kong Junior!

Yep, welcome to April!

Nice one, P J! and thanks to Capel for pointing it out!

Got so many nice little touches to it...I love the Mac screen they have in the background running the Windows screensaver!

Son of Kong vs. the Nazi's..... heh. Great bit talking about the funding of Universal Pictures, and how they are known for 'franchising'..

I was thinking the same thing, it seems almost real. I'm sitting here watching this going "Is he joking? Is this for real?" Thats one elaborate April fools joke... or is it? Yes, yes it is... or is it. Funny stuff.

Whoa... That's one of the best pranks I have ever seen. I thought they were suposed to be making a movie... and they have time for this?? Slackers!

Was that really Peter Jackson? I thought... nevermind. My eyes are playing tricks on me as well.

Anyone seen Peter Jacksons Forgotten Silver? Its similarly plausably presented and almost believable.

Who was that? It wasnt Peter Jackson. It was some thinner actor made up to look like him:D

Hehe, if you watch all the video diaries from the start you can follow his slimming progress. Though he was quite a bit thinner in the first one anyway.

Yes, that one had me bamboozled right up until McKenzie accidently filmed his own death during WW1, or something like that. I was like, HANG ON, this is getting silly. They even roped in Leonard Maltin! Funny stuff.
