Jackson Is King
I recieved the King Kong production diaries DVD for Christmas. It's a collection of the 3-4 minute movies Peter Jackson released over the making of King Kong. It's an amazing inside look at the making of an epic film. The link in the title goes to a great Wired artcile explaining just why this production diary is groundbreaking in it's access and participation. It's not your avergae behind the scenes BS you get on a DVD, but very much Peter Jackson talking to his fans. At one point he fields questions on the website and then answers them by showing things on set! If you're a film junkie and enjoy learning about how films are made, you will enjoy this set.

I have a question. Where did the natives come from? Was that all make up and wardrobe? They scared the hell out of me.
The natives were local extras that went through alot of make up. One of the entries is about the process for extras. The extras for the streets of NY were used several times, standing in hour long wardrobe and makeup lines each time!
the scenes with the native scared ME, you can imagine what Riley thought of them!
