This classic monster movie has been one of my pleasures for a long time. This 1933 has as of yet not been matched by any remake or sequel until 2005.
I am afraid that this movie might be forgotten once Jacksons' vehicle enters the cinema. Which is a shame this movie's accomplicements have stood up to the teeth of time. Yet the Ape and dinosaurs look kind of dated but yet more alive then any modern remake has accompliced so far. I remember seeing this movie for the first time and my jaw hit the floor. I've have been in love with Kong since then but I've not seen the new one yet. But i fear that when it's success the Ancient Kong shall be forgotten. So I hope that Mr. Jackson will point out that there's only one Kong and that's the 1933 version. Better yet, release a cleaned up print with every possible extra that can be assembled.
I hope that old Kong does survive the storm this autumn. And not just lives on in the mind of us oldies.
