Peter Jackson is in New Zealand planning the remake of King Kong as the third Lord Of The Rings movie, The Return The King is released on DVD. But don't rush out just yet to pick it up. The two disk set is only the 3 1/2 hour theatrical version seen in the theatres. Jackson is slated to be releasing an extended version as he did with the other two installments, but because of his King Kong comittment time for editing the final third of the saga is at a premium. Rumour has it that the extended version release may be delayed and may not even be ready for Christmas. Gasp! Forget the Kong, give us the King!
And good news for all you British soap fans, no not the bubbly kind, the ones with the funny accents, CBC has announced that starting next month it will be airing Coronation Street four times a week in Prime Time! The 40 year old drama will air at 7:30 in the evening as part of Mother Corp's attempt to come up with an interesting schedule that doesn't involve anything reality based or American. How much further away from reality can you get with Coronation Street back to back with Red Green?
