About this deal

Deacon King Kong by James McBride is not the type of book I ordinarily would have chosen for myself. If it hadn’t popped up on Oprah’s book club, I probably wouldn’t have given it much consideration. Goldner, Orville; Turner, George E. (1975). The Making of King Kong: The Story Behind a Film Classic. A. S Barnes and Co. Some of the slang and word usage is dated, particularly Lovelace's use of "ejaculate" to mean "shout" or "yell."

Retrieved March 4, 2010.Finally, Universal's conduct amounted to an abuse of judicial process, and in that sense caused a longer harm to the public as a whole. Depending on the commercial results, Universal alternatively argued to the courts, first, that King Kong was a part of the public domain, and then second, that King Kong was not part of the public domain, and that Universal possessed exclusive trademark rights in it. Universal's assertions in court were based not on any good faith belief in their truth, but on the mistaken belief that it could use the courts to turn a profit. [74]

Although KING KONG is a classic that still enthralls, I have always had a very difficult time watching it because of Kong’s death at the Empire State Building. (There’s the Spoiler.) The filmmakers really gave their tiny model a wonderful personality, and I’m always very saddened when the fighter planes shoot him down. He has the same fate in this book, and I dreaded my approach to the ending. I suppose that’s why I’m a bigger fan of MIGHTY JOE YOUNG even though KING KONG is the better movie. Vaz, Mark Cotta (2005). Living Dangerously: The Adventures of Merian C. Cooper, Creator of King Kong. Villard. ISBN 1-4000-6276-4. Merian C. Cooper said he was very fond of strong, hard-sounding words that started with the letter "K". Some of his favorite words were " Komodo", " Kodiak" and " Kodak". [38] When Cooper was envisioning his giant terror gorilla idea, he wanted to capture a real gorilla from the Congo and have it fight a real Komodo dragon on Komodo Island (this scenario would eventually evolve into Kong's battle with the tyrannosaur on Skull Island when the film was produced a few years later at RKO). Cooper's friend Douglas Burden's trip to the island of Komodo and his encounter with the Komodo dragons was a big influence on the Kong story. [39] Cooper was fascinated by Burden's adventures as chronicled in his book Dragon Lizards of Komodo where he referred to the animal as the "King of Komodo". [38] It was this phrase along with "Komodo" and "Kongo" [ sic] (and his overall love for hard sounding "K"-words) [40] that gave him the idea to name the giant ape "Kong". He loved the name, as it had a "mystery sound" to it.

DDL (whose rights were limited to only their 1976 remake) did a sequel in 1986 called King Kong Lives (but they still needed Universal's permission to do so). [101] Today most of DDL's film library is owned by StudioCanal, which includes the rights to these two films. The domestic (North American) rights to the 1976 King Kong film still remain with the film's original distributor Paramount Pictures, with Trifecta Entertainment & Media handling television rights to the film via their license with Paramount.

In 1935 a joint expedition of several prominent universities and organizations called Project Legacy was launched. Its stated mission goal was to create the first of several field guides to Skull Island, a land filled with creatures existing outside of their own time, where dinosaurs roamed, evolved, and still lived. Only a year later it was discovered that the island was doomed; the geological forces that had formed the island were now tearing it apart. There were only seven more abbreviated expeditions to the island before its destruction and the start of World War II. This also isn’t answered explicitly in the book. We know that Hettie was the treasurer for Five Ends Baptist and the box went missing after she died. She has said that the money is in “the palm of His (God’s) hand”, citing the motto of the church. It’s also not clear how much was in there. At the very beginning, Sportcoat asks if it was something like 14 dollars or if it was in the hundreds. By the end, the number has grown to 3-4 thousand.
