Speaking to Yahoo! Games, Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings and King Kong) has said that a possible sequel to the King Kong video game is a possibility. When asked about the Kong follow-up Jackson said that he has “been in discussions with Michel Ancel and the Montpellier team, but there is nothing to share at this point in time.

Jackson also said how he is a big fan of the video game industry and the strides it is making, saying that he sees the “role of video games as one that will continue to command respect and attention due to the improved graphics, forms of narrative, interactive capabilities, and ways of storytelling/immersion.

He also believes that the ever improving graphics and sound capabilities will make for easier collaboration between the filmmaker and game studios.

Actors will look more “life-like” in HD and the sound continues to get closer to the theatrical movie experience — this makes it easier to provide sound effects, artwork, and talent when you, as a filmmaker, know that the final game will be a strong representation of the film,” said Jackson.
