Saw this today on www.imdb.com:

Jackson Dumps 'King Kong' Music

Only seven weeks before the scheduled premiere of his remake of King Kong, Peter Jackson has dumped Howard Shore's score for the movie and plans to replace it with a new one by James Newton Howard. Shore had written and conducted the score of Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy. Howard's credits include the scores for Batman Begins, The Village, and Waterworld. In a statement, Jackson said: "During the last few weeks, Howard and I came to realize that we had differing creative aspirations for the score of King Kong. Rather than waste time arguing with a friend and trying to unify our points of view, we decided amicably to let another composer score the film."

"They were taller and darker than the Men of Bree and were believed to have strange powers of sight and hearing, and to understand the languages of beasts and birds...but they were now few and rarely seen."

My youngest daugher says that she saw a trailer for King Kong already at the theater. Wouldn't some of Howard Shore's score be on the trailer?

Seven weeks doesn't leave much time! I hope the new composer can get it together without being too rushed.

By the way, she said the trailer looked good!
