And it came to pass that Peter Jackson's remake of King Kong was filmed in New Zealand.
The New York City scenes was filmed on a piece of vacant industrial land
in Seaview Road, Gracefield, Wellington. The set was carefully constucted and
became a tourist attraction. Unfortunately, the set was demolished when shooting
finished. Now it's a storage area for new motor vehicles. Well over a thousand
cars worth about $50 million. So if you've seen the movie, this is
what you are actually seeing. Use your imagination. King Kong is hiding behind
the red car 325th from the left. |
