Wanna Ask Peter Jackson Some Questions About KING KONG'
Published at: June 29, 2004, 5:29 a.m. CST by staff
Hey folks, Harry here... A million years ago it was allegedly insane that Peter Jackson was making LORD OF THE RINGS - AICN had the rather blessed distinction of being selected by the barefoot one to be the first location to pose to him - 20 Questions, which he answered completely.
The questions were not simple short answers, but essay questions... the sort of multipart questions we don't see enough of in interviews (here or otherwise) and answers that were not shifty or deceptive. These questions came before there was 3 scripts, when they were at the beginning stages of adapting their 2 script version of the 3 (published) books. I was deluged with questions throughout fandom and personally... I hold those 20 questions were one of this site's finest moments... especially given the 20/20 of hindsight today.
Well, this time - Peter came to me again wanting to set up the first 20 Questions piece on KING KONG... I'll begin getting the questions from you now... and later in July - he'll get back to me with his exhaustive answers.
What sort of questions? Well, I'll be looking for the smartest questions, the ones that will require Peter to think about his answer and to paint pictures in our minds that we'll carry till Christmas 2005. There will be cases where I combine two people's questions into a larger one, and sometimes... there's a question or two that I'll put in... but here it is... KING KONG / Peter Jackson & YOU!
