`~John Doe~`
Edit cast list for:
King Kong (1933)?
Trivia:
`~Edgar Wallace~` died in Hollywood in February 1932 while working on the story for this film. `~Jean Harlow~` refused the lead part. The models of `~7830~` built for the island scenes were only 18 inches high. When producer/director `~7819~` decided Kong needed to look bigger while in New York, a new 24-inch armature was constructed, thus changing Kong's film height from 18 feet on the island to 24 feet while in New York. The trees and plants in the background on the stop-motion animation sets were a combination of metal models and real plants. One day during filming, a flower on the miniature set bloomed without anyone noticing. The error in continuity was not noticed until the film was developed and shown. While Kong moved, a time-lapse effect showed the flower coming into full bloom, and an entire day of animation was lost. The project went through numerous title changes during production, including @%The Beast%@ (original title of draft by `~Edgar Wallace~` in RKO files), @%The Eighth Wonder%@, @%The Ape%@, @%King Ape%@ and @%Kong%@. Was voted the 47th Greatest Film of all time by @##Entertainment Weekly##@. `~7830~`'s roar was a lion's and a tiger's roar combined and run backwards. The success of this film is often credited for saving RKO from bankruptcy. Both `~7819~` and `~7820~` had been wrestlers, and they acted out the fighting moves for the battle between the T-Rex and Kong in the effects studio, before the animators shot the scene. The whole idea allegedly originated when co-director/co-producer `~7819~` had a dream about a massive gorilla attacking New York City.
