Extra in italiano solo su questi dvd
Reviewed in Italy on 5 March 2020Verified Purchase
Consegna perfetta da parte del venditore, nuovo e perfettamente integro, Grazie. In questi dvd sono presenti i diari di produzione che ti fanno capire come viene fatto un film pieno di effetti speciali come questo. Davvero chi vuole conoscere la creazione totale di un film oggi lo trova solo in questi dvd sottotitolati in ITA. Consiglio l’acquisto anche della Limited Edition in dvd del film che completa il tutto. Le versioni bluray e 4k non hanno sottotitoli in italiano solo i dvd.

Solo per i grandi appassionati di king kong

Devo dire che il contenuto del DVD rispecchia a metà le mie aspettative , un prodotto comunque valido, purtroppo troppo parlato e con poche schiene dietro le quinte.... Per il resto solo per i grandi appassionati di king kong

Delightful Fun for Fans of Movie Making and King Kong Alike
Reviewed in the United States on 27 April 2016Verified Purchase
When I heard that the King Kong Production Diaries do not duplicate material in the Extended Editions' extra features and discovered that they were not available anywhere online, I ordered this set right away. (It was only available 2nd hand from Hastings; arrived in like-new condition, even down to the packaging.) I am a great fan of the Appendices to Peter Jackson's Middle-earth movies and, while the King Kong Production Diaries don't have the in-depth discussion or polish of those Appendices, the are nevertheless a great collection of five-star enjoyment.
The Production Diaries are just what their name implies: Short segments made every few days throughout the production of Peter Jackson's 2005 remake of King Kong. They cover all the good stuff, the plotting, writing, planning, filming, and fiendishly challenging special effects. They're just what I wanted to round out the whole King Kong experience.
The package is an awkward size and shape but the clipboard had contains the DVD's happens to be just the right size to sit on the shelf next to the DVD'd and Blu-rays of the King Kong movies. The main box, designed to resemble a steamer trunk, sits on a different shelf with other odd-shaped movie memorabilia. You can find an unboxing video on YouTube that shows you all the extra goodies including the package, so I won't try to catalog it all here.

THIS IS NOT THE WHOLE STORY
Reviewed in the United States on 13 January 2019Verified Purchase
If you are like me, what I enjoyed especially while watching the diaries online during the actual production of the film was the broad mix of information, as the film progressed, step by step. So, for example, we got to learn, in festidious detail, about every version of the Venture, from smallest miniature to the full-size, seagoing ship. And so on. While the diaries in this collection are definitely fun, many of the ones I found most interesting are not included. This is more a compilation of shenanigans on the set, with brief sprinklings (mind you, in my opinion) of the good stuff. A disappointment on the one hand but the price I got mine (I purchased it “used, in very good condition”) was not expensive, so ...maybe the complete story is still available to see on YouTube?
