One of my favourite films of all time (even though I don’t like the ending). And I think, this is my favourite “behind the scenes” book - the level of detail alongside the number of quotes, concept art, photo screenshots and pictures of the Weta Workshop models is so good.

Such an awesome film with a brill team behind it. King Kong 2005 is for me the best version of the story and the best version of Kong.
