3 Hour Long Kong

October 27, 2005 -- After seeing a version of the film, Universal executives agreed to release "King Kong" at a length of three hours. Universal chairwoman, Stacey Snider, said, she expected about two hours and 40 minutes, but expressed delight with the picture she's got: "This is a masterpiece. I can't wait to unveil it." The increased length, Ms. Snider said, means that the movie will cost $32 million more than planned (to $207 million), with the studio splitting the extra expense with Mr. Jackson.

An e-mail response however, Mr. Jackson said that he would be paying for those expenditures, which were mainly associated with extra digital-effects shots, and wrote: "Since Fran and I believed in the three-hour cut and wanted to take responsibility for the extra length, we offered to pay for these extra shots ourselves." A spokesman for Universal responded, "We are working together to cover overages." -- The New York Times

3 hours or 5 hours it may be, bring it on. I'm there. And I don't mind lending a helping hand myself. How does $50 bucks sound? Well that's the collective value of everything i own. And of course; i will need a cut from the profits.
