King Kong: Don't Mess With the Monkey

Noodles22 writes "King Kong: Don't Mess With the Monkey began as an audition piece for Eden Phillips. After adapting some scenes from Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh's 1996 King Kong screenplay, the natural appeal of the Kong story attracted more and more enthusiastic volunteers who generously gave of their time to make Kong a rich, funny short film. We are honoured to dedicate it to Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh, Wingnut films, and all those involved in the Lord of the Rings films, and upcoming King Kong remake."

    King Kong was one of Hitler's favourite movies. The other one was Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

      A quick googling also turns up Metropolis as Hitler's fav (knew that one), but also Gone with the Wind and The Lives of a Bengal Lancer (both news to me.) I wonder, not too much, what his favorite film really was...

    The Story
    KONG: Don't Mess with the Monkey is essentially a prequel to King Kong the feature film. They year is 1933. A party of three adventurous archaeologists make a first foray into the depths of the previously unexplored Skull Island which, rumour has it, is home to the dreaded great ape known as King Kong.

    Our film opens on a youthful and attractive Ann Darrow, an aspiring archaeologist on a Sumatran dig site. She is accompanied by her father, Lord Darrow, a world renowned archaeologist and leader of this first expedition to Skull Island. Walter Douglas, Lord Darrow's assistant, is the reluctant third member of the expedition.Douglas appears to be much more at home in the comfort and safety of the Oxford University Library than out in the field. Our expeditionary team is also supported by two jovial Sumatran natives, Motumbo and Mentawei, who are all too familiar the feared Cult of Kong.

    Kong: Don't Mess with the Monkey shows British science's first foray into the mystical and savage world of Skull Island. Our intrepid archeologists are stunned to discover the first evidence confirming rumours of the Kong cult and the ritual sacrifice employed by the natives to appease the beast; they are on the cusp of the archaeological discovery of a lifetime!

    Jack Driscoll, an unsavory American entrepreneur, is on Skull Island to fulfill a forestry contract. Driscoll recruits a workforce from the Sumtran natives of the island, and sets to work clearing one hundred thousand acres of rainforest.

    Once evidence of the re-emergence of Kong is revealed by our archeologists, the terrified natives abandon their villages and flee to the mountains to escape the return of the Wrath of Kong!

    An enraged Driscoll, blaming our archeologists for the loss of his workforce, demands they leave the island within an hour. Driscoll's expulsion threat follows immediately on Ann's unearthing of an ancient map revealing the location of the Sacrificial Site. Legend holds that at this site the great Kong ripped sacrificial victims' flesh to ribbons.

    In spite of Lord Darrow's stern protestations, Ann shows herself unable to resist the discovery of a lifetime when she compels an unwilling Douglas to join her desperate search for the Sacrificial Site. The clock is ticking on Driscoll's threat - but a mysterious roaring emanating from the jungle presents a far, far greater one...

  6. King Kong remake is going to be great by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Funny

    I was so worried about the King Kong remake like with Planet of the Apes, but Tim Burton's epic masterpiece proved me wrong. I suspect I'll be just has surprised with this remake. The scuttlebutt I hear is that they've hip-hopped up the new ape by 10% and added a new companion character called poochie or something so it will be great.

    Lookit... if you were a film director who had just pulled off the greatest gamble in film history, made a three-peat at the box office AND the Oscars (nominations at least), successfully taking three unfilmable books and made them into three monster hits AND critical darlings, got nominated for everything and won a boatload of awards, and made the studio and yourself more money than a mere mortal could ever spend, and you were then given carte blanche to make whatever film you wanted to make as your next project; are you telling me you wouldn't make the movie you'd wanted to make since you were six years old? Of course this is a masturbatory effort for PJ, but knowing him, he'll probably make it interesting, and people will line up to watch it, good or bad.
    And please remember that he's not making this movie for us, he's making it for himself. After bringing us the LOTR trilogy, I'd say he earned it.
