King Kong Concept Art

Ellis, Kong-O-Phile that you are, do you know the names Mario Larringana, Byron Crabbe and Willis O'Brien? Came across this cool concept art done by them for the original 1933 movie. I never knew it existed. Have you seen it before?

I'm overdue for a rewatch of Kong. It's been just about the right amount of time. These are great Tom. Nice resolution. The most unfamiliar to me are the ones of his spilling people out in front of the hotel and the one under it when he's looking in the window. I like how they solve the window looking idea in the film. Two directions, two windows. One for the hand, one for Kong's eyes.

The Better Than Fiction podcast guys have invited me to watch a blu ray of the 30s King Komg this Friday. Then we'll discuss it. It supposedly looks awesome and the guy has an enormous screen.

It stands a very good chance of being the best viewing I've ever had of the movie. And I saw the 70th anniversary showing at the Egyptian.

I've been wanting to watch it too. If I fly out can I come?

Come on. You'll have to stay in a motel. No room at our madhouse
