King Kong Coming for Holidays

Company: Ubisoft Entertainment
Product: King Kong

Ubisoft and Universal Studios Consumer Products Group have announced plans to release an interactive game based on Universal Pictures? upcoming motion picture adventure, King Kong. The game will be available worldwide on all platforms at the beginning of the holiday season in conjunction with the December 14, 2005 theatrical release of the movie.

Triple Academy Award winner Peter Jackson (The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King) brings his sweeping cinematic vision to the iconic story of the gigantic ape-monster captured in the wild and brought to civilization where he meets his tragic fate. Jackson assumes directing, producing and co-screenwriting duties, and surrounds himself with a list of superlative filmmaking and acting talents.

Working very closely with Peter Jackson and Wingnut Films, Ubisoft?s prized Beyond Good & Evil development team and award-winning Montreal studio are creating a game in their Montpellier studio in the South of France that will reflect the visual interpretation, character dynamics, and dramatic narrative of Jackson's epic film.


Serge Hascoet, Executive Director, Worldwide Content Strategy for Ubisoft stated: ?Through this creative association, Ubisoft shows its growing dedication to bringing intense emotions inspired by the movie industry to interactive games. In the King Kong game, players will be able to experience all the power, drama and emotion of the film thanks to the interactive possibilities provided by the game.?

?I?m really enjoying the collaboration with these artists, and all the creative possibilities we?re discovering,? said Peter Jackson. ?By working closely with the development team, Ubisoft is enabling me to help shape the kind of gaming experience that I will be proud to associate with this new version of King Kong, a story that began my life-long love of film.?
