Peter Jackson's Special FX Outdone by Earthquake
Yes, during the movie, while metal was grinding during the shipwreck, a real earthquake hit the area. Talk about realism!


Movie director Peter Jackson is the king of special effects but even he was outdone when the audience was shaken and stirred by an earthquake during a preview screening of his new blockbuster "King Kong".

The quake measuring 4.5 on the Richter scale hit Wellington about an hour into the film and at first it was difficult to tell what was happening.

The theatre was already filled with the sound of the roaring of the sea and scraping metal as onscreen a ship belonging to the eventual capturers of King Kong was smashed against the rocks of the sinister Skull Island.

You should mention that its during the preview of the movie, not during the filming.

Well, I tried 3 times adding a snippet from the news item and couldn't get my Edit to save my changes.


EDIT: Well, the Editing is working now.
