For the first time in more than six decades, the original King Kong is getting a national theatrical release in a one-day-only presentation from Fathom Events, TCM, and Warner Bros on Sunday, March 15 at 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. local time.
The dazzling adventure features groundbreaking stop-motion animation by Willis O’Brien – visual effects that remain astonishing even in spite of the computer-generated advances made since the original release of King Kong nearly 90 years ago.
