Total Film offers exclusive look into Jackson's King Kong

LONDON – Total Film magazine is offering readers a free DVD preview of the December release of 'King Kong', directed by Peter Jackson, the man behind 'The Lord of the Rings' trilogy, as well as nearly 30 other winter film trailers.

The trailer will appear on the Winter Preview DVD in the October issue, out on September 8, featuring an on-set interview from Jackson.

Other trailers on the DVD include Guy Ritchie's 'Revolver', 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire', 'The New World', 'Lord of the War' and 'The Chronicles of Narnia'.

Simon Maxwell, publisher of Total Film, said: "Getting one of the world's hottest directors to appear on our DVD is a testament to the increasing credibility of Total Film in the movie industry.

"The team have been working hard to gain increased access to the biggest names and top stories first. The work has really paid off with Total Film securing more and more exclusives each month."

Total Film recently revealed its best performance to date in the ABCs having dropped to 82,810 six months ago from 90,749 in June 2004, then making a leap of 21.5% in the last six months to 100,625.

'King Kong' was originally filmed in 1933 with sequels such as 'Son of Kong' and a television series on ABC in 1966-69. It was remade in the 1970s starring Jessica Lange.
