Original Kong reanimated

In case you've been living offline (and missed Wired's excellent October cover story), the fine folks at KongIsKing.net have been posting remarkable behind-the-scenes video Production Diaries chronicling Peter Jackson's forthcoming remake of his favorite film, King Kong. Anyway, over the weekend they released the latest installment, wherein legendary uber-geek Bob Burns arrives in New Zealand to shoot a cameo, and brings the original King Kong armature... which is brought to life one more time.

Behold.

P.S.: A fantastic Collector's Edition DVD of the original King Kong will finally be released on November 22, while a 2-disc set of Peter Jackson's King Kong Production Diaries comes out December 13.
