Jackson on Ancel to make King Kong 2?

By Ross Miller

Not to
give away the ending of a 73 year-old movie, but the giant gorilla dies at the end of King Kong. That said, there might've been a more financial reason to add the alternate
"happy" ending in the King Kong video game, co-developed by Peter Jackson and Beyond Good
& Evil's Michel Ancel. According to an interview on Yahoo! Games, Jackson and Ancel might possibly be developing a sequel to the monkey's misadventures in the big city.

The quote, credited to Mr. Jackson:
"I have been in discussions with Michel Ancel and the Montpellier team, but there is nothing to share at this point in time"–while not exactly a confirmation, it does give Ancel fans something to look forward to.

While not a top-seller, King Kong was impressive in its atmosphere and lack of a Heads-Up Display. What would you like to see improved in a sequel?
