The 182 minute run-time of the 2nd disc probably means it will contain the TV extended cut:

I like the cover art! Saw part of this on TV about a decade ago! Curious to rewatch it! Rick Baker had some fun stories about this when promoting his book.

Hopefully the additional scenes for the televised extended version will be in the same aspect ratio as the theatrical release.

Congratulations Americans. At last!

Kong reacts to the news...



Awesome cover art (anyone know the artist? Kind of looks like Scream's Army Of Darkness cover), so I'll pre-order to insure the poster, which will be the first SF poster I've gotten since Brides Of Dracula. Hope the extras are interesting.
